Do your kids love Odd Squad? My son loves it. It is his favorite show. We have limits on how much TV he watches and which shows he watches. He likes many of the PBS kids shows, but Odd Squad really seems to speak to him in a way other shows do not.
When my son said he wanted an Oscar costume so he could dress up like his favorite character, I got to work. Most of the costume items were purchased from Amazon, so that was easy enough. When it came to the badge though, I could nkt find anything. Thankfully I have tons of crafting items from various projects, so I got out my craft foam, metallic paints, gold fabric paint, and hot glue.
First, I printed out a picture of the badge so I would have a visual to go off of. Then, I free-handed the pieces onto the foam. I did the badge shape, a circle, and the animal that is in the center. Then, I painted the badge part gold, the circle silver, and carefully traced my animal with puffy fabric paint.
After everything dried, I added some detailing and the number 56 on the badge. I painted some bananas with puffy paint, then once dry, went over them with gold paint.
Once it was all dry, I hot glued it together and put a clip on the back. Done!






That's so cool. Looks so much like the real Odd Squad badges. I know Roro will have fun wearing his lab coat and badge, solving odd situations with logic and reasoning...good, educational and entertaining show! Good job designing the badge.
