Look! DIY Halloween Costume

2007-11-06-jack robot1.jpg

Another successful costume. Mom Melissa and son Jack made this together, using a box with various plastic bottle caps and cups, dryer vent hose arms, and glow sticks. Quite a clever combination, and we love the result.

Jack's favorite part of the costume was the on/off switch. Another case where the simplest things leave room for the most imagination!

It just occured to me... it might not be obvious that Jack is a ROBOT. The Jackbot 3000, to be precise. Thanks for posting, AT!!
