Dress As A Book Character

On the Friday of our Read Across America week we had a "Dress as a Book Character" parade. Obviously, the choices are endless. I wanted mine to be both fun and artsy looking so I went with the book Elmer by David McKee. To look like the wonderful and colorful Elmer, I painted his pattern onto a canvas apron and onto two pieces of cut cardboard that I later glued on a headband. I rather enjoyed looking silly!
