Coolest Homemade Amtrak Train Costume

I made this homemade Amtrak train costume for my 5 year old who is a train fanatic! We have done the store bought Thomas for the last 2 years and this year he wanted to be more like the trains he loves to watch, and so picked Amtrak.

I used a wooden toy engine as my model and used a box, some poster paints and the trusty hot glue gun.

For the windows and white stripes, we found reflective tape which will be great when we are going out at night so he can be easily seen.

The wheels my husband found which are clear plastic and I spray painted them black and hot glued them onto the box.

The straps are blue ribbon (blue is my son’s favorite color) and I just poked a hole in the top and tied them off.
