Next time your mini superhero is flying across the room, take a moment to immortalize him with a life-sized image.
- Paper: Construction or white paper is fine, but if you want to go big, use butcher paper.
- Markers or crayons.
- Buttons, tissue paper, pipe cleaners, and/or any other items that can be added as embellishments and color (and don't forget the glue to hold it all together).
Decorate! Adorn the "magic" part of his costume, like the fluttering cape, the super-vision goggles, or the PLAYSKOOL HELMET HEROES Police Officer gear.
Name your hero. Sure, your kid Elliot might insist on being called Super-Elliot, but if not, offer up silly suggestions like Captain Magnet Hands. Prompt your kid to describe what kind of superpowers he possesses and what actions he takes.
Hang the picture someplace prominent, so your child can easily summon his heroic alter ego.
Submit!
