You'll need

How to

• Draw an outline of the skyscrapers and buildings on the cardboard to represent a city skyline. The roof of each building can be sloped, curved or shaped like a staircase.
• Using a sharp knife, cut out the cardboard along the outline. Keep your child at a distance whenever you use the knife.
• Once you are done, let your child paint the city skyline black. Leave it to dry.
• Once the black paint has dried, cut squares and rectangles from yellow and orange-coloured neon papers to represent windows. Let your child apply glue on it and stick it on the buildings.

There you have it. A larger-than-life city skyline, perfect for the background of a superhero photo booth.

Optional: You can cut out stars and superhero comic book call-outs and stick them on a black cloth and hang it behind the skyline.

Fun and easy DIY props for a super photo session

Let the children bring out the superhero in them using wrist bands, swords and shields. These props are not only perfect for birthday parties but also for pretend games.
