Humpty Dumpty Costume for Kids

5. Paint the Humpty Dumpty Costume. Use craft paints to color in your Humpty Dumpty costume design. Red is for the walls, bowtie and mouth, blue is for the jeans, silver is for the belt buckle and brown is for the belt and eye balls. (My son was insistent that the eye balls HAD to be brown). Outline the face and shirt with black Sharpie marker. Painting was the fun part that my son and I got to work on together. He painted one side of Humpty Dumpty while I painted the other.

What a cute idea for a Humpty Dumpty Costume! This would be an easy kid's costume for Halloween or a nursery rhyme parade at school.

You may need to allow time for some of the paints to dry between colors so you don’t smear one of the colors into another with your hands. Once you’ve painted all of the Humpty Dumpty costume, allow a few hours for it to dry before taping in the following steps.

6. Create arms and legs for the Humpty Dumpty costume. Have your child draw long leg shapes on blue construction paper and slightly shorter white arm shapes on white construction paper. Your child can also draw shoes on brown construction paper and hands on tan construction paper. Next, have your child use safety scissors to cut out the arms, legs, shoes and hands. This is a great opportunity for them to practice using scissors since the lines don’t have to be perfect.

Next fold the arms and legs accordion style to give them a three dimensional appearance. Use clear packing tape to attach the shoes and hands to the arms and legs. If you wanted to make the Humpty Dumpty costume weather resistant, I would use the Con-Tact paper on the arm and legs before folding them.

Once the paint on the Humpty Dumpty costume is dry, you can also use the clear packing tape to affix the arms and legs to the costume.

7. Attach shoulder straps and enjoy! Hold the costume to your child and make an estimate of how long the shoulder straps should be. I used 1 1/2″ wired ribbon for the straps to make them a little sturdier and attached them to the inside of the Humpty Dumpty costume using clear wide packing tape. Carefully lower the Humpty Dumpty costume over your child’s head when it’s time to wear it at a school party or on Halloween night.
