I sure hope none of you have been holding your breath in anticipation of clear and concise instructions on how to make your own Backyardigans costumes. Because I haven't been able to pull anything together.
I'm sorry!!
I tried, I really did, but I just couldn't put together anything coherent. The best I can suggest is, if you want to make your own costumes, you could trying using sweatsuits, face paint and felt. For instance, Uniqua would be in a pink sweatsuit with pink felt spots attached (maybe stitched or hot glued) and then follow the instructions on the Nick Jr. website for the Uniqua face paint. (Or you can watch the video demonstration.) You could twist some pipe cleaners around a headband for her antennae.
Do the same thing for the other characters:
Tyrone - red and blue striped shirt, orange sweat pants, orange face paint
Austin - Blue sweat pants, blue and yellow striped shirt (or blue shirt with a strip of yellow felt around it), purple shoes, purple face paint
Pablo - Beanie with a propeller, blue top coat, yellow sweatsuit, blue face paint
Tasha - Dark orange dress with light orange flowers cut out of felt and stuck on, red shoes, yellow face paint
I hope you find this helpful! Personally, I'm doing it the easy way and buying my childrens' costumes.
