A getup like this is just the thing for anyone in your family who hears the call of the wild -- and it doesn't require a trip to the outback.
| Prep Time: About 2 to 3 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| Permanent marker
36- by 18-inch piece of upholstery foam, 1-inch thick (sold at many fabric stores) Scissors or craft knife Acrylic paints and paintbrushes Ping-Pong ball Tacky glue Khaki shorts and shirt Hiking boots Safari-style hat Toy binoculars | |
| Seasons: Halloween | |
| Materials: foam | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Mark an elongated U-shaped crocodile shape on the
upholstery foam, as shown. Using good-quality scissors or a craft
knife, cut out the shapes just inside the lines (adults only).
Cut two 1- by 1 1/2- inch legholes and a 1-inch eyehole in the
body. |
| 2. |  Now mark a pair of matching legs on the upholstery foam, as
shown, and cut out the shapes just inside the lines (adults
only). |
| 3. | Paint the crocodile's teeth white. Then paint the rest of the body and both sets of legs green, highlighting the ridged back and belly with contrasting colors, if you like. Paint a black eye pupil on the Ping-Pong ball. Allow the painted parts to thoroughly dry. |
| 4. |  Fit the crocodile's legs through the legholes and tuck the
eyeball in place, securing all the pieces with tacky glue. |
| 5. | Have your child dress in his khaki outfit, boots, and hat
and then drape the binoculars and the wrestled crocodile around
his neck.
