Assemble Your Own Taco Costume

Lay out your mattress pad on the floor and cut the corners into a rounded shape. When you fold the mattress in half, it should resemble a taco shell. Next, open the mattress again and lie down on top of it. Have a friend use a permanent marker to mark where your underarms and shoulders lie. Use the compass to create two circles where you marked the shoulders and underarms. Cut the circles out to create arm holes.

Crumple green and red construction paper into balls to represent lettuce and tomato. Use a hot glue gun to attach the and construction paper balls to the front of your shirt and pants. Hot glue strips of yellow construction paper on top to represent grated cheese. Dress in your brown shirt and slacks. Put your arm holes through the foam taco shell in order to secure the mattress on your body and encase your “meat” and “fillings” into the taco shell.
