Brown bear costume

What you'll need
  • Brown craft paper, 25cm (10in) x 76-91cm (30-36in)
  • Glue or stapler

Background
Follow these directions for any furry creature.

What to do

  1. Fold the paper in half crosswise.
  2. Have the child lie on the craft paper with shoulders at the fold line. Draw around the child, allowing extra room for the 'seam allowance' when you glue or staple.
  3. Cut away excess paper.
  4. Cut a round neck opening, with a slit in the back to fit over the child's head.
  5. Glue or staple the side edges.
  6. Cut narrow strips from the scrap paper for fur. Fringe the strips along one side and glue to the costume body in rows.
