Supplies needed:
|
 |
| Decide on a theme for your float, like: under the sea, racecars, superheroes, spring gardens, etc. You may want to think of a title for your float (like Pirate Parade, Cowboy Carnival, Dancing Dolls, or Alien Attack) Collect small plastic toys and inexpensive doodads for your float. |
 |
Decide what color(s) you want your float to be.
Cover the outside of the shoe box with colored paper, foil, gift wrap, Sunday comics, brown grocery bag paper -- or paint the box. Do not cover the inside of the box (it will not be visible). Cover all of the lid. |
 |
Turn the shoebox upside-down; this will be the base of your float. Attach the lid of the shoebox to the end of the upside-down box (this will form a backdrop for your float). Glue, staple or tape the lid in place. |
 |
Decorate your float! Arrange the dolls, doodads and other items on your float. Glue them in place. |
|
Use markers or paint to write the title of your float on the side of the float.
You now have a festive float. Make a few and you'll have a parade! |
