The Mom I Want to Be

 

Make a Super-hero costume out of household items

 

This activity will work best for older toddlers. Outfitting your youngster won’t take a lot of time- I’ve found kitchen items work great with little trouble. Try the following items:

 

– For a shield, use a pizza pan or cookie sheet.

 

– For a cape, use a pillow case or towel safety-pinned to child’s shirt

 

– Aluminium foil makes a great super-hero accessory. Make a headband or wrist braces with it- put it on shoes to make them magic, make a utility belt, or handcuffs for catching bad guys.

 

– A light-weight pot makes a good helmet

 

– As for super-hero devices,  try looking in your kitchen cupboards. Strainers, basters, steamers, spoons, muffin or pie tins… anything you can find that doesn’t pose a health hazard can be great fun.
