My son is obsessed with being pacman for Halloween because it’s his new favorite video game. So if anyone has any clue how to make a pacman costume that would be awesome. I’m still trying to convince him to be Spiderman again.

I would get some foam rubber and cut two pacman shapes (curved on top… jagged on bottom). I’d spray paint the foam rubber a bright color and I’d glue the two halves together and pull it over your head. Cut holes for the eyes but draw some exaggerated eyes around those.

you can just cut out cardboard, make a slit, paint it, and then maybe someone could be the dot and chase the dot! hahaha!
