Get a friend to dress up as Lavagirl’s imaginary co-hero, Sharkboy, so you’ll have the whole gang together at your next upcoming convention or Halloween party! Sharkboy lost his father at sea in an accident, but was taken in by sharks and raised as one of them. He has a bit of a crush on Lavagirl, but the pair never become more than just friends, and he even appears jealous of Max sometimes, because Lavagirl mothers him and give him a lot of attention. Maybe I’m just tired of this project and ready to move on to the next one (does anyone else do that too? It saves me so much time, especially when I am layering different cuts of fabric to get 3 dimensional elementsto the costume.

Each project begins with a passion for true quality–embroidered patches, faux fur cut with care, and hand-selected fabrics that are as durable as they are comfortable.You may want to show off this side of his personality by engaging in deep conversations or solving puzzles at the party. I mean, the fact that he is part boy and part shark is impressive enough, but when you consider he managed to be raised by sharks and not get eaten by them, that’s about as impressive as it gets. This year we needed the costumes a full week before Halloween for a friend’s Halloween themed birthday party. There was also some pilling in several areas where there was friction from movement after being worn for a few hours.

Finally, finish off the costume with a pair of gray fishing boots to create the impression that you're swimming through the water like a shark. My 6 year old discovered the Sharkboy and Lavagirl movie just before Halloween and he HAD to be Sharkboy! The matching gauntlets and boot covers are both made out of foam, and the boot covers are designed to work with most pairs of shoes. This year, against my recommendations and trying to nudge them in a different direction, my kids decided they really wanted Sharkboy and Lavagirl Halloween costumes. You can also cut out two matching pieces of gray craft foam to glue to a pair of boots to create your own pair.I made my husband a Thor costume a couple years ago (still one of my favorites ever) with the same techniques. Honestly, we're not sure where folks come up with the unique superpowers available in our favorite characters on page and screen! Bring your inner superhero to life at your next cosplay convention with this costume guide for Lavagirl, one of the imaginary friends of main character Max in the 2005 film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl! I guess it’s now a Halloween tradition, and I’d hate to break that tradition so I guess I will continue to complete costumes late the night before we need them.
