Coolest Percy Train Costume

My three year old has been in love with trains for well over a year now. The only toys we even have in the house are trains. So it was obvious to make him Homemade Percy Train Costume, since that’s whom he carries around and sleeps with.

I got a box from the liquor store and cut an area for him so it wasn’t snug but wasn’t too big and open. I then covered the box in green posterboard. I covered the box in packing tape so it would stay more durable, especially if it snowed. I printed out a Percy face and colored it gray with crayon. Behind the face, I covered a Styrofoam plate in green felt. I cut out a number six from foam.

For the wheels, I took three-inch circles and taped them over a strip of red construction paper onto the flaps of the box. I then cut around the wheels on the flap to give the wheels some extra stability. Since I made the Thomas and Percy at the same time, I made the tragic mistake of putting two wheels on Thomas when it should have been three. I was reminded constantly that the wheels were incorrect. I used two inch black circles for the buffers on the front and back. I hot glued a toilet paper roll colored by a Sharpie marker on the top and cut down the toilet paper tube. With the full height of the toilet paper tube, the funnel kept ripping off.
