We usually try to all dress up in a theme each year and this year we decided S’mores would be fun. However, I made a twist on the idea and had each child be a different ingredient! Put it together and “voila”….a S’More Costume.
For the crackers, I used tan felt and glued two poster boards to each, then sewed the two square pieces together, leaving room for the arms and head. The bottom was completely open. I used a brown marker to make the “dimples” in the graham cracker.
For the Hershey bar, I used dark brown felt made the same way as the crackers but without the poster board. I cut the Hershey letters out of white felt and glued them on to the “bar”.
For the little marshmallow, I dressed her in white tights and a white shirt. I took a king pillow with a white case and wrapped it around her, fastening it together with safety pins. It was tight enough to stay up so I didn’t have to use straps on her shoulders. I took white felt and tucked it all around the pillow. Then I put white hair paint in her hair.
When I put the “S’more” together, I let out the bottom of the marshmallow to make it look like it was melting.
we are family of 4…definitely doing this next year!! love it!!
We were planning on dressing up a SMore for Halloween this year and I was trying to figure out the marshmallow and Hershey bar. Thanks!
I love this costume! What a great idea! It brings a smile to my face. Now I just need to hunt down enough felt to make it happen….
