Ren’s DIY Costumes for Humanities Week
This week is another busy week for kids (and moms) at my son’s school. We’re celebrating Humanities week. The kids showcased their art projects, poems, spelling bee competition and a lot more.
The Grade 2 kids were asked to recite the poem “A dog is a dog” by Thomas Stearns Eliot yesterday. The criteria for grades includes clear voice, posture and costume.
For Ren’s costume, I decided to create a dalmatian costume since he already has white t-shirts and pants. I just added some spots made out of black folder. His dog ears were made out of socks, we used his dad sleeping eye mask for his head band (and sew the socks on it).
Viola!!!
… and for today, the kids were asked to wear storybook character costumes. I commend all the parents who made an effort to make DIY costumes and those who looked for ready made costumes for their kids as well.
We decided to let Ren wear a “Cat in the Hat” costume since he already has black long sleeves and pants (it’s the same clothes he wore at the “Natong Gagamba” presentation).
I only spent maybe around P30.00 for his two costumes. Practikal di ba? minsan lang naman gagamitin e.
Dress up days in school are times I use to look forward to as a student.hehe Good job on your DIY! Truly practical and creative!
How creative.Ang galing naman.
yan ang praktikal na nanay!
so maganda pala talaga na may black long sleeves at pants na nakatabi no? hehehe
oo dapat me handa lagi plus white pants and tshirt na din
This is great! I love DIYs, too.
Wow super cute and creative, nakaka excite naman yan,… Super cool mommy ang galing mo naman.
simple lang yan 🙂 thanks!
Great job, mommy! Diy costumes are indeed very practical. I love the Dalmatian. Didnt know it can be that easy Lang pala. Thanks.
I always check Pinterest for suggestions and tips 🙂
How nice naman that they have activities in school that they have to dress up for. We have a few of those, too, at Little MrC’s school, but as he’s getting older, nababawasan ng nababawasan.
Mas gusto ko may ganyang activities kesa puro exams and assignments
Goodness! Great job dear. I don’t know if I can pull this off. I have twin toddlers and an infant for now and facing different sets of trials and triumphs. I don’t know what I’m going to do when they have activities like this in school. I’m terrible at sewing and designing. But you, you make this look easy. ☺
I only make DIY costume if I have extra time. If I’m busy, I just buy one too. My to go places for costumes is Baclaran and Divisoria 🙂
yay! this is cool and timely.. I’ve been working on a diy costume for my daughter right now.. its an ifugao costume to be used next week! I hope it will turn out good, i’ll blog it too.. 🙂
wow, goodluck! I want to see it when you’re done.
