Quick and Easy Superhero Pencil Case Craft for Kids

To create the Captain America pencil case, we started with a blue color rectangular pencil case and used red, brown, blue and white foam sheets and with a pair of googly eyes. The smile is a simple line drawn with black permanent marker. All the shapes were cut free hand using the pencil case as our tool to gauge the size.  You could also use stencils, rulers and shape patterns to help you create a more uniform look.  We were content with having our cases have a more natural handcrafted look.  The Iron Man index card case uses yellow and white foam sheets, a red index card case and a black permanent marker to create the outline and lines to simulate Iron Man’s armor.

While we certainly have knowledge of our favorite superheroes and how they look, dress and so on, to help ensure we designed them correctly, we simply looked up a few pictures on Google for inspiration.  In addition to creating a foam “look” for your pencil case, you can further personal with your child’s name or any other style touches you wish to embellish the case with.  The comic book universe sky is the limit here, you could easily create a Wonder Woman, Hulk, Batman, Superman or even a Black Widow pencil case.
