The costume:

Recipe for Giant Lego:
Ingredients
One part cardboard box
Six parts circular containers (butter, cool whip, etc) of the same size
One part blue spray pain
One part black Spray Paint
One part Manilla Envelope
One part White Spraypaint
One part hot glue gun and sticks
One part sharp knife/boxcutter
Directions
1. Plug in hot glue gun and let heat.
2. Burn Self while testing to see if it is hot enough
3. Glue the fatter end (or open end/end with lid) of each of the six containers to the box in positions pictured above
4. Burn self
5. Take naked lego outside and paint the front and four sides blue. Do light coats on the part with the plastic containers, lest they drip.
6. Let Dry
7. Go back inside and unplug glue gun after you realize it's robably burning a hole in the wood floor
8. Find out that you already did that
9. Rejoyce
10. go back outside and decide which end of the partially naked lego will be the top, where your head goes through(top) and which will be the part where your feet come out (bottom).
11. Cut out SMALL FLAP from bottom of box.
12. Cut hold big enough for head in top of box
13. Turn box to back side and tape together in this manner: lay down the SMALL FLAP first, then the two LONG FLAPS. Tape long flaps.
14. Paint back of lego black
15. Use boxcutter to cut out "LEGO" stencil
16. Cut self
17. Spray LEGO stencil in white on black side of lego
18. Guestimate where one armhole should go and cut it out
19. Try on box to make sure armhole is correct before cutting second armhole
20. Get stuck in box and wait an hour before your mother gets home to help you out of the box.
21. Cut second armhole
22. Put on lego
