Each week Sharon at Mom on Dealz brings you a kids craft that is fun, educational, and frugal. Cow Appreciation Day is today (7/13) so here is a fun, super easy way to get some free food at Chick-fil-a. If you don’t have a Chick-fil-a nearby, you can always use this idea for Halloween!
If you’ve missed any previous crafts, check out Momondealz’s Kids Frugal Fun page.
Materials:
- White or light colored shirt and shorts
- Yarn
- Peel and Stick Foam (black)
- Scissors
- Construction Paper (white and brown)
Directions:
- Cut circles in the peel and stick foam and adhere them to the clothing.
- Cut small pieces of yarn to create a tail and hang that from the back of the shorts.
- Cut 1 sheet of paper in half (vertical) and then tape or staple the 2 halves together to form the headband.
- Cut 2 ears out of paper and attach them to the headband.

Educational Activities:
- Math: Cut small and large circles from the foam and have your child create patterns when adhering them to the clothing.
- Language Arts: Create a sign with a funny chicken or cow saying and attach that to the costume. Make sure your child writes or traces the words to get in their writing practice!

Cute idea. I imagine you could use other animals as well and have a sort of learning costume party. Thank you for sharing.
