Tonka Truck Costume

My son Max wanted to be a dump truck for Halloween. My husband started drawing up plans and thought of all sorts of different ways to make it. One obstacle was how to even the weight out so it wouldn't drag in the back while walking through yards. He got some boxes from work and used the flaps in one to make it so it can "dump" he found some Christmas lights at the $ store to make head lights and tail lights that actually light up. He freehand wrote Tonka and painted it yellow and black. Used a socket set to set in the inside front to evenly distribute the weight. He got lots of attention that night!
