Homemade Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker Costumes
For Bunsen Honeydew: First I got a big ball from Walmart and paper mached it. Then I cut the mouth big enough so my daughter would be able to see out of it. I used clay to paper mache the big nose and ears and glued them on and painted it all green. I grabbed some large glasses from the dollar store and glued that on as well. I found lab coats and ties at the Goodwill for both costumes.
For Beaker: I used flexible plastic that I found at Walmart and shaped it so it looks tubular. Then I cut an area out for his mouth and paper mached it all. I used more clay to make Beaker's large nose, which I paper mached as well and then glued on. I painted Beaker a pink color and found orange colored fuzzy yarn at the fabric store. I got two big Styrofoam balls for his eyes and used a black marker to draw small circles in.
The girls had so much fun with these Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker Costumes and a lot of people wanted to take pictures with them! I just hope that Jim Henson would be proud!
