My son has become OBSESSED with superheros! It's kind of sad, he went from toddler to BOY overnight.
I'm still adjusting.
Something fun that has come from this new obsession is we now get to play superheros, A LOT. We switch back and forth between them, usually playing Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and Hulk.
In order to play we've come up with different things we use. My son got a little hammer/screwdriver toy set, maybe 2 years ago, so we use the hammer as Thor's hammer. For Hulk he just runs around and 'Hulk smashes' things :), and for Iron Man he pretends to shoot 'blue lasers' (is what he calls them). We had a birthday party to go to a couple of weeks ago, so I took my son to the toy section at Wal-mart.
He wanted to buy EVERYTHING! Afterwards the one thing he kept talking about was this Captain America shield he had seen, and how badly he wanted it. It was like $15, and it was just basically a frisbee with a little hand strap, so it gave me an idea!
We were out of milk, so I made a trip to Costco, (I could have gone to Wal-mart, but I knew if I went to Costco the milk would come in this box, and it is the perfect size).
We first cut out a circle...
