Brief Description: I had to “squish” the the cardboard into shape for the breastplate. My son has sensory issues and will not wear a helmet that goes over his head (he’s Ok with bike helmets, or puts up with them because the will to bike is stronger, lol…) Anyway, I didn’t make a helmet because he wouldn’t have worn it anyway. He also didn’t want wings.
