Effort: Easy - some sewing required Materials:

Black sweatshirt with or without hood Black sweatpants Jointed cardboard skeleton decoration (choose size according to size of child) Needle and thread, safety pins, or tape White gloves Face paint

Instructions: Carefully take apart the cardboard skeleton decoration. Sew, pin, or tape each cardboard bone to the appropriate part of the body. Paint face to look like a skeleton or use the head part of the decoration as a mask. Just cut out holes for eyes, nose, and mouth. Attach string/thread to each side of decoration and tie to head. Wear white gloves as a finishing touch. Variation: Draw a design of a skeleton on felt and cut out the “bones.” Paint each bone with glow in the dark paint. Sew or glue the bones onto the sweat suit.
