This crate may require grownup assistance. 

• Recycle an ordinary cardboard box from home and transform it into an excavator costume — complete with digging arm, side wheels, and wearable straps. 
• Build simple lever mechanisms to make your costume movable! The left lever moves the bucket and the right lever moves the arm. 
• 34-page booklet includes a rundown of all the parts that make up a real-world excavator (from the boom to the bucket to the cab), plus an exploration of the science behind the clever levers in your excavator. 
• Keep the fun going with a scavenger hunt for all sorts of levers in everyday life — like scissors, wheelbarrows, shovels, and even your own arm!

Construction Excavator Costume

Quite literally the BEST Halloween costume we could have asked for…My son adores this so much that he wore it for two Halloweens and puts it on every time we go to our storage unit. The mechanics of it are brilliant and he got extra candy all night trick-or-treating for “having the best costume.” 

My kid just won ? “most original costume” and the best part was both siblings built it together so they both could say they won ? 

My 4 year old helped me put this together and he wore it for Halloween for two years in a row! We got so many compliments everytime we went out for a Halloween event. It's not flimsy, it's still going fairly strong but falling apart a little, which is to be expected after what it's been through. Thanks to whoever thought of this!

My 2.5 year old insisted on being an excavator for Halloween. This kit was excellent: she loved every step of this from assembling the arm, painting the box, and putting on the treads. It was the hit of every Halloween event we went to and definitely held up to all the use. It was also light enough for her to wear for 2.5 hours.  The only 'problem' is now she wants more projects. 

Our 3 yo loved this! Great product overall. Could be enhanced by placing rubber bands in scoop to make it actually work to pickup light weight things. I added them myself and it worked. 

This was perfect for my sons costume and for him to play with. Although he was too little to put it together himself, this was perfect for Halloween. My only complaint would be is that the digger part was a little front heavy. I just put some sand in a bag to balance it out a little. Highly recommend, totally worth your money. 

This was a fantastic hit. The arm is articulated and worked well. The kids loved their costumes.  ( they played with it a  bit too much and the arm fell off one of the  boxes) It was easy to put together. I spray painted the boxes and we got lots of compliments.

This was fantastic! I will say after using the levers a bit the box started to get worn through, but nothing a little extra tape can’t fix! It was also cute to watch my child try to bend over to grab things or go up stairs for trick or treating at different houses. 

Super cute costume! The directions were easy to follow. As stated it is front heavy so we put some extra weight in the back of the box. My son got so many compliments on this costume on Halloween.

My grandson had fun constructing it with his father and then wearing it! He will be able to use it for a while because he’s a little too small for it now., but he had fun with it!
