Today we will be making a suitcase and marmalade sandwich from you guessed it... The Adventures of Paddington Bear!
You will need:
- A shoe box or similar,
- Yellow kitchen sponge
- Cellophane
- Brown paper
- Coloured markers
- String
- A holepunch
Step by Step: Paddington Bear Costume
- 1.First up we will be making Paddington’s suitcase – Take your shoe or parcel box and cover it in brown paper like you’re wrapping a present! Decorate the outside with your markers and add a couple of postage stamps if you have them.
- 2.Attach a handle using any cardboard you have with sticky tape. Then we created Paddington’s travel tag, we added the note ‘please look after this bear’ in marker, punched a hole and attached it to the suitcase with string.
- 3.Paddington wouldn’t be complete without a marmalade sandwich... draw a bread slice template and cut it out.
- 4.Take 2 sponges, trace your template and roughly cut them into bread shapes.
- 5.Last step is to scrunch the cellophane before placing it between your slices of sponge bread and trim as needed. You can even add a brown edge for the crust with a marker if you like!
- 6.If you wanted to cut an opening in the side of the box you could always store the marmalade sandwich in the suitcase.
TIP: Add a blue jacket, red hat and gumboots and your child is ready for an adventure!
