MEGA ROBO MASKS
It has been a fun week! Thanks to everyone who said nice things about Mega Robo Bros’ return last week; it is incredibly heartening to know there are so many kids out there so genuinely excited to see Alex and Freddy back, I can’t begin to tell you how much it means.
Now wait till they read *this* week’s episode and all get SUPER MAD at me.
Anyway! Here’s a fun thing:
MEGA ROBO MASKS
World Book Day is coming up, a time for year that always makes me very conscious of how hard I am making it for the poor parents who have to figure out how to make Alex and Freddy costumes, possibly at very short notice. So to try and make it easier, and save you having to desperately attempt to sculpt some kind of giant papier mache dome head at midnight the night before: here is an easier version! I’ve made these masks, which can simply be printed off, stuck to some cardboard and cut out!
We’ve got a Freddy…
…an Alex…
…and even, as a special customer request last year a Robot 23!
You can find some high-res PDFs over on my website to download and print off. Have fun! And, I should stress, if you have more skills / energy / resources as a parent than lord knows I ever managed and WANT to make a honking great papier mache head: please do not let me discourage you from doing that! Seeing people’s creations has been an absolute highlight of the last few years, this is just me trying to give an easier option for those who might find it helpful.
If you want a DONUT SQUAD costume: sorry, I am all out of ideas. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT?
