My two year old son, Hunter, is a huge fan of the book “Where The Wild Things Are” so when the movie came out, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to take him to his first movie. He absolutely loved his Homemade King Of The Wild Things Halloween Costume and since then, is hooked on “Wild Things…GRRRR”! We have to read the book, sometimes three times in a row, each night and when I asked him what he wanted me to carve his pumpkin into, he said, “A Wild Thing!” So, naturally, I had to make him a costume that showed off his passion.
We used our “Kota” dinosaur and built it up with fabrics, batting, paint, etc. until we had our rendition of “Carol” the wild thing. I did order the “Max” sleeper online, but then made his scepter and crown. We put Max on Carol’s back and made the platform to roll them around and Hunter just loves it!
We tested it out last week at a parade and he stayed put the whole time, keeping his crown on and holding his scepter!

I like the picture very much. I think it’s very cute. Hunter looks nice in this picture
How creative! I love the idea and the end result of your hard work. This is definitely the coolest homemade costume I’ve seen this year!
That has got to be the best representation of Carol I have ever seen in a Halloween float homemade. Great Job Mommy!!!
That is the best thing I have ever seen as far as Halloween Costumes go! So wonderfully original how it was made!
Just a note to say that I too am a huge fan of Where The Wild Things Are and this costume should be marketed nationwide in all of the Halloween Costume and Party stores!
You did an AWESOME job. It proves just how patient, talented, and in love you are with your son, Halloween, and the classic book made into a movie.
Very cute! Wonderful detail. He looks like a very happy boy :)
This weekend I was fotunate enough to be stuck in a halloween parade while being chased by a marching band but the best part was being next to Hunter, in full Wild Things costume! By far the best costume there. Must have taken a creative genius to make such a detailed “carol”…even my german shepherd gave it 2 paws up!
What a wonderful job you did! And this memory is sure to be one of his favorites in years to come!
Definately the best costume! I think I’ll have my little man be that next year possibly…when he’s big enough! will have to figure out how to make a wild thing though! Great job!
What a fabulous costume!!!!! I can not believe it is homemade. You did a terrific job. Looks very professional!!!! Congrats and good luck. You certainly would have my vote!!!
