R2-D2 The Skater?

2009 February

The Frosty Festival was hosting the annual kids "Costume Skating". When Joe and Alex arrived home at 3:00ish, Joe mentioned that Alex had informed him "Mommy is going to make me an R2-D2 costume for the skating party."

Time between 3:00ish and skating = 3.5 hours.

I asked Joe "so did you tell him no?" Not so lucky. Instead, Joe picked up a bowl and some white poster board and came home to me. Challenge accepted!

Materials to make 1 kids R2-D2 costume (about $10 for us):
- scissors
- duct tape
- glue gun (and glue!)
- black marker
- aluminum foil
- blue and red construction paper
- one plastic bowl

The looks on Alex's face when he burst in the door after skating because he won first prize at the Costume Skating party? - Priceless :)

 When remarked "How cool! Did they call you by name when you won?"
He replied: " Nope, they called out for "R2-D2!!!"
