Our 11-year old was on a field trip to Florida this week. When he was leaving, he asked with the biggest grin, “Will there be any signs at the airport when you guys pick me up?”
So, naturally, we greeted him in the only acceptable manner.
I used a cute photo of him from the day he left and removed the background with Photoshop.
I found a free site to turn it into a multi-page poster we simply printed at home. Just align the margins of each page, snip off the extra paper, and tape them together on the backside. Highly recommend the site https://www.blockposters.com/
Once taped together, we cut out the head shape. Then we attached it to a giant piece of cardboard with rubber cement, and added a spare piece of wood from the garage to the back. We wrapped the handle with duct tape to jazz it up a bit (protect from splinters).
Of course, we had to take him on a little adventure on the way to pick up. “He” got so many laughs and compliments in the airport. It was so fun to bring smiles to complete strangers. 
Our 15-year old tried to act like he didn’t know us. 
Until this moment. 
From this moment on, we couldn’t pry it from his hands. 
Mission accomplished. Welcome to the dark side, baby.sweets4ever. 
. I love this idea!
