Try a costume store. They often have mask type versions of various hats/helmets. Can you make one out of an inexpensive play ball? Just cut out the face part, spray paint it in the right colors and hot melt foam pieces inside to fit (much like a bike helmet) Or, try to find a bike helmet that is the full round style, instead of the swoopy, aerodynamic ones. Often little kid ones are more rounded. Then paint it. And he can use it for his bike, too!

My 3-year-old wants to be a "football guy" for Halloween. We have a jersey, I can rig up pants no problem. However, I'm stumped on the helmet. No one seems to make toddler size play football helmets! The closest I can come up with is a $45 complete football uniform which includes the helmet from the NFL shop online. Does anyone have any ideas? Somewhere else to look? (I've tried sports stores, athletic apparel, only the full sets, if anything, especially for this age). Some way to rig something up? Although, once it is made, it may need to take a beating during Sunday afternoon football games :) Thanks! ************************ Rebecca Schmitt aka Agness Cabot, Guilde of St. Lawrence, Bristol Renn Faire ************************* _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
