Since Mother Nature and Father Time are quite abstract figures, you can pretty much take these costume ideas and fly with your creativity and inspiration. Obviously, your personal connection with nature will serve as the guideline in creating your Mother nature costumes.
Some of you may find inspiration as you hike through the woods. Maybe pick up a few branches, leaves or flowers. In fact, anything you find can be incorporated into a special Mother Nature costume.
Others may connect more with the "motherhood" aspect of being Mother Nature. For instance, if you are pregnant and have a good-sized belly during Halloween, you can turn it into the earth with blue and green body paint.
If you are planning to do a couple costume, Father Time is also a great costume idea. He is the perfect escort for Mother Nature.
Enjoy connecting with nature and casting life into this cool costume concept. Don’t forget to share with us your creation!

I used the dress I made for my 5 yr old daughter for last Halloween 2013, as Queen Tara from Epic. The skirt was supposed to represent petals from a flower, as it did in the movie. It took quite a bit of trial and error and questimating. It did have a very small train … Read more

As a nature lover, I felt inspired while hiking with the dog through the woods and that’s when I decided to be Mother Nature. I teach weather and natural disasters, so with a shirt for modesty it was a good costume for school and without the layer it was a flirty night out at our … Read more
Wow—this beautiful handmade mother (daughter) nature costume was an ever evolving concept.

I’m a mom, and what sort of costume fits best to us moms, but Mother Nature?! This was a super easy costume to throw together. I used a burgundy colored “fairy” costume, made of a sheer fabric, and tied it back with a burgundy/silver ribbon. I found silver sandals at the thrift store for a … Read more
