We've found a ton of caterpillars in our yard lately, which made me think of this little craft that we did a while back. Click here for directions.

Elephant & Piggie Costume inspired by Mo Willems {Elementary School Character Parade}

I had a reader email me and ask me what costume we used for last year's Character Parade {when he was in Kindergarten}. Last year, Cole went as Gerald from Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie Book. Cole has always loved elephants and this was a perfect costume for him. I bought the elephant costume on ebay. The parade was in May and he had grown out of the elephant costume that we had (oh yeah, you read this right, this was not my FIRST elephant costume purchase).

I Spy Costume {Elementary School Character Parade}

This year for our annual Character Parade at Cole's school we decided to make a really cool I Spy costume. A few years back we hosted an I Spy Birthday Party so you can see that the I Spy Books are very popular in our house.

I started by collecting random things {junk} from around the playroom, craft room, etc. I used a hot glue gun to attach everything. Then I came up with a poem for the back {this was seriously the hardest part}. I cut the poem out with my Silhouette Cameo and ironed it on. You could also write it out using a fabric marker. It really was an easy costume to make.
