Halloween Costume- Backhoe

When A told me he wanted to be a backhoe for Halloween, I freaked out a little. But, one of my friends decided to do some research and some wonderful parents have already fulfilled their child's costume wishes of being a backhoe. Thank you so much for sharing your construction plans. The only thing I did different was to use duct tape and construction paper instead of paint. I don't like painting boxes. Since I attached everything with duct tape, I could make hinges with the tape so the scoops will tip a little while A plays with the costume. M loves playing in the backhoe as much as A : )
