If I were you I would draw parts of my favorite super heros and costumes until I invent one I like then make them with what I have.Then you have your costume.

I think you could be an anaconda, if they live in the Amazon. You could you some of the green crayons for your face and you could cut the boots and paper up for scales. You could use the tarps for the inside, so that you don't overheat or get uncomfortable. You could use the tape, string or glue to keep it all together, and you could use the black markers for stripes.

I think that you should use the water color crayons to paint your face orange. Like a pumpkin and use the black markers to make the nose, eyes, and mouth. Then use the tape to stick the string to your arms. You will be a scarecrow!!!!!!!
Happy Halloween!! BOO!!

Someone could be, Boots, from "Dora the Explorer!" Use your rubber boots, draw or make a mask of a monkey for your face. You could also be a wizard, with string for a beard, a paper cone for a hat, and maybe a stick from the forest for a staff. Another idea is a rubber tapper. They would have a head lamp and rubber boots. You could also use a watermelon as a jack-o-lantern.

We think that you should dress up as spiders and bats. Jodi came up with spider idea. We think the bat costumes are cool too.

Be the thing you liked most about the rainforest so far.

I think the boys can be an Amazon mummy by taking some leaves and string (but not all the string) and use the tape to tape it together. The girls can be an Amazon Queen by gatering some sticks for a staff and make a paper crown and draw some jewels with the black marker.I'm sure you can find tools to make pretty dresses and a stuffed Annaconda.You can also take leaves and use the rest of the string to hang leaves from your hopefully BEATIFUL and HANDSOME costumes. But who can you go trick- or- treating? that can be on your next poll when you find three choices. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We suggest you use the paper and string for masks, the tarp for a robe and the boots to make of creature. You could also string the leaves together to make a leaf person. You could make hair out of paper strips and crowns with paper glue and markers.

Dave, I think you could use the black markers to draw a panther face on the notebook paper. Then use scissors to cut the face out and eyes. Then use the scissors to punch a hole on each side of the cat face. Then you could use the string to tie the mask around your face and use the tape to tape over the string that way for sure the mask will not break. Then Dave could color the mask with a gray water color then use a black crayon to color over that to make the mask more black after that Dave could try to use a white colored face paint to paint his mouth and wiskers. Then Dave can cut out circles of blue plastic tarps to glue on his clothes but Dave would have to wear black pants and a black shirt because panthers are black. Dave is going to need black rubber boots to go with his costume and because it is probably muddy alot. Dave is going to glue blue plastic tarps on his costume because plastic tarps are water proof so Dave will not be getting wet that much if it is raingin. Plus Dave could go as the black, blue poca dotted panther and the blue might brighten up his outfit a little bit so that the people in the rainforest will not be scared because he didn't look scary because maybe they have seen a black blue spotted panther. I don't know but people might think oh that's Dave dressed as a panther, probably to represent some Holiday they have in America. The others in the group could be the zoo keepers or in this case the panther keeper.
