The idea for this Buddhist Monk toddler costume came from my American husband who loves my Asian culture and history.

This is my son “old man Charlie”! When deciding on a costume this seemed like a natural choice. His wardrobe is already pretty old man like (lots of cardigans) and we had the glasses – all we needed was a walker and mustache! He hates to wear his glasses, and he’s never worn a mustache … Read more

We couldn’t decide on a costume until the week of Halloween for our daughters first costume, with such little time we could either do something generic or make something ourselves.
