You can use paint. We used markers instead, so there is no drying time and no mess. Plus, we already had our markers out. Color whatever color you’d like his superhero outfit to be.

Now, use a corresponding color of cardstock for the cape and mask. For this, simply cut a triangle from the cardstock and use the 1.5” punch to get a circle. This craft really uses nothing but your basic shapes!
