Are your little ones full of imagination and creativity? Mine have both in abundance.
Which is wonderful and sometimes overwhelming. But that is why I am so excited about this Superhero Cape pattern.
Which is wonderful and sometimes overwhelming. But that is why I am so excited about this Superhero Cape pattern.
For Christmas, I put together a fun Dress Up Box for the Little Miss. It included all sorts of fun things, including several of the tutorials I have on the blog like the Anna Play Dress, Little Artist Palette, and the Cabbage Patch Clothes.
I knew we needed some of our own Superhero capes.
First I had to decide on which superhero capes to make. That was probably the hardest part.
But since our cape pattern is reversible, I knew I could get 4 superheros from just making 2 capes. We decided on Superman, Batman, Captain America and Spiderman.
And yes, I know they don't all have capes. But for kids they HAVE to have capes.
Lucky for you, we have a download for the Superhero Symbols just for you!!!
