Materials

Instructions

Add some aquatic magic to the Halloween fun this year with our Primary DIY Lifeguard costume using our Primary essentials. Kiddo can't swim? Not a problem. The only requirement is to look cute in a onesie. Bonus points for water wings.

For the buoy

  • Using the pencil, draw an outline of the lifeguard buoy on the cardboard. Be sure to include two holes for the handle.
  • Utilize the scissors to cut out along the outline of the buoy.
  • For the two handle openings, utilize the box cutter to avoid bending the cardboard.
  • Once you are happy with your cut out, paint the buoy in your favorite red paint and allow to dry.
  • Once dried, cut the black ribbon to ensure it is long enough to wrap around the body of the buoy.
  • Tape the black ribbon on the back of the buoy.

For the headband

  • Any soft headband will work here but red is preferable to match the swimsuit!

Pro-tips

  • Add a whistle, baby sun hat & baby jet setter aviators for some extra fun look!
  • Use white tape to add a cross on the swim top for more pop.
