Pikachu, a mouse-like Pokémon with electric powers, is one of Ash Ketchum's prized Pokémon. Ask any trainer about Pikachu, and she will know its specs before you can say "catch 'em". With these hats and face paint, you'll give your guests a taste of Pokémon role playing.

MATERIALS

Yellow poster board
Black markers or paint
Glue
Scissors
Stapler
String
Red face paint

DIRECTIONS

1. Custom cut a headband out of the poster board for each guest.
2. Cut two long ears for each hat out of poster board.
3. Have your guests color the ends of their Pikachu ears with black markers or paint.
4. Attach the yellow and black ears to the headband with glue. When the glue dries, complete the hat by stapling the end pieces of the headband together.
5. With face paint, adorn your guests' faces with red circles on their cheeks.
