Instructions
First, choose a box that your child can fit inside.
Paint the outside of your box metallic black, silver, gold -- we used spray paint because it covers large areas quickly.
Measure and cut a piece of black poster board so that it fits just inside the front of your box, like a phone screen. Glue to secure in place on the front of the box.
Cut out squares for app buttons, just like you'd have on a real phone. Glue on top of your phone screen.
Use ribbon to create suspenders for your costume, so that it hangs comfortably on your child's shoulders when they're inside.
