Making the Mover's costume was pretty easy. As soon as I heard about the contest, I moved into action. First, here's what the Imagination Movers look like:
Age: Any age!
Mess/Cleanup: Very easy. Making the name patch resulted in a few felt scraps.
What You Need:
- Red Long Sleeve Shirt
- Blue Short Sleeve Shirt
- Blue Pants
- Black Shoes
- Red Felt
- Yellow Self-Adhesive Felt
- Glue
- Red Plastic Tape (optional)
- Mover accessories: Red baseball hat (Mover Dave), Cowboy hat (Mover Smitty), Wobble Goggles (Mover Scott) (or red sunglasses) (here's a cool link on how to make them), or Drum sticks (Mover Rich).
Why I like this Craft:
It's great for Halloween or anytime play! My son wanted to sleep in his costume. It only takes about 10 minutes to pull together.
Step 1:
Find a red long sleeve shirt
Step 2:
If you have a some blue coveralls, now's the time to pull them out. But if you're like the rest of us, find a blue short sleeve shirt and pants. We used my son's Superman pajamas. I had him wear the shirt backwards. You could also just turn a shirt inside out if you can't find a plain one.
Step 3:
Making the name badge was pretty easy. I cut an oval out of the yellow felt. I then cut out the letters to my son's name out of the red felt.
Step 4:
My son used the glue to adhere his name letter to the yellow felt.
Step 5:
Stick felt name badge to shirt (this is why I used the self-adhesive felt). Beware, pending on the type of felt you use it may use some residual on the shirt.
Step 6:If you want to add red stripes to the sleeves and shoes, just use some red tape. I couldn't find my tape, so I just cut out some red strips of felt and used tape to affix them to my son's shoes. I realize this is a minor detail - but my son was really excited to do a head-to-toe Mover costume.
