I need to make animal ears for a children's play. Is there a way I could make them cheaply and easily?

Question

I need to make a lot of them.

Answer 1

Headbands and craft foam, both can be found at the dollar store.  you can even paint the headbands what ever color you nned ( like the color of the childs hair, so it is not so noticeable)

Answer 2

I made my son a costume that one a contest and I only used old socks with magic marker, and pinned them onto a headband. they hung down like dog ears.

You can also just twist fabric on the top of a hairband too for other animal ears. Felt works well since its stiff.

Answer 3

paper plates

Answer 4

All you have to do is get a piece of paper glue and markers.  Make ears and just glue them up.  Thats all you need.  The kids will like it.

Answer 5

For our Kindergarten play, we use headbands from the dollar store (multi-packs for $1...so cheap!) and then we make a tracer for each ear shape, and cut out a bunch from either construction paper or sheets of felt.  Either way, we glue them to the headband.  OR...you could make a headband out of long sheets of construction paper and connect them with a rubberband stapled to each end, so that it circles the child's head and is adjustable sized.

Good luck!

Answer 6

You can glue construction paper to cardboard.  You can use the cardboard from cereal boxes.  It's sturdy, but still flexible and easy to cut.
