“I Want to Be A Truck” Halloween Costume

So Aidan decided last year that he wanted to be a “Truck” for Halloween.  Well I figured that was simple enough and believe me, I am not a crafty mom.  I am no where near those moms that bake awesomely decorated cakes, make homemade costumes, or really do any thing creative on my own!  I am trying thanks to Pinterest and I figured a “Tuck” was probably something easy I could tackle!

Supplies:

  • Yellow Spray Paint
  • Black Spray Paint
  • Cardboard Boxes
  • Thick string
  • Ball (if you want a wrecking ball attached)
  • Duct Tape
  • Super Glue

All I did was cut boxes.  On the first box I cut a hole for Aidan to step into.  The next box, I cut it so it looked like a Scooper shovel.  I attached those with super glue.  I then added the back Crane by using two Priority Mail boxes from the Post Office, but shoe boxes would also be a good size.  I attached those with Duct Tape and pulled the flap inside the main box and taped it inside.  My boys taped the string and ball on themselves, I am going to make this look a little nicer for Halloween.  Finally I cut holes and tied string though to make overalls so Aidan could wear the truck and not have to carry it.

I wish I would have taken pictures of each step but I didn’t even think about it at the time.  Believe me those, this is really easy and my son loves it.  I could have gotten way more creative with this costume but I did it simply and quickly.  I might even print out a “Caterpiller” logo and attach it with some tape on the side.  We will add a construction hat, flannel shirt, and construction vest to complete the costume.
