Barbies, crackerjacks and crash test dummies – they are all cuter when they are kids Halloween costumes. There is something about a little face peaking out of Frankenstein eyes that just melts our hearts.
The animal kingdom is represented with peacocks and jellyfish. Many kids like to dress up as food, such as steak, A1 sauce and a chef salad. Cotton candy, push up pops and gumballs are also very popular. Personally, we love the four year old who agreed to be half Hall and half Oates.
In addition, ideas here range from Optimus Prime, Inside Out characters, a mailtruck, Sharknado and even a haunted castle!
If the child in your life like to chose their own costume, this will rouse his/her imagination. If you like to choose your kids Halloween costumes, then enjoy! The costumes here will entertain you with their range of possibilities. Watch out kids…
My daughter told me she wanted to be a peacock for Halloween. I was excited because it was a unique costume that she came up with all by herself. She designed the whole thing and I made it for her. On Halloween she got a lot of compliments on the beauty of it and the … Read more

My husband created the boat from a cardboard box. We then painted it to match the boat from the Jaws movie. We added so much detail to the boat trying to get it exactly; yellow barrels, wire, ladder, windows, life ring, tower, lines, letters on the back spelling orca, lights and the funnest accessory was … Read more
Our son Paul who is 5, dressed as a minion. The costume was actually not too hard to make and I think I spent the majority of time going to thrift stores looking for overalls that would fit him. These were a sz 4t, a bit small but we made them work. To make the … Read more
My daughter wanted to be Sally from Nightmare before Christmas this year for Halloween. Not wanting to spend $50 on an outfit that honestly was going to fall apart before the end of the night, we set out to make our own. We went to JoAnn’s and picked out 14 fat quarters at $1 a … Read more
My son Sean was an upside down old man. My husband doubted that we could pull this costume off, I am so glad we proved him wrong!! We bought men’s pajama bottoms and a windbreaker jacket at a thrift store. They were oversized, but needed to be. We had him wear the jacket as pants … Read more
Halloween costume-making is truly a labor of love. And, as with all efforts of labor and matters of the heart, there invariably arises a bit of turmoil and chaos. I’m delighted to say the creator and designer survived the ups and downs in our efforts to create ZOMBIE FREERIDE. This costume was the brainchild of … Read more

I think this can match … Read more
The adventure of Bowser, oh what an adventure! The journey of making the costume started when Jordan (Grandson) so desperately wanted to be his favorite character from Mario, only to find out they do not sell Bowser anywhere. What a disappointment, huh? Absolutely not, my sweet Jordan would not be disappointed and his wish was … Read more
I’m always up for a challenge, so I love to let my kids pick whatever they’d like for Halloween, and then do my best! My daughter so far has always had some sort of dress (witch, princess, etc), but now, at the age of 4, she chose to be an Astronaut! However – it had … Read more
I love making Halloween costumes for the kids, but I’ve noticed as they get older, the costume choices are becoming more challenging! This year, my 7 yo son hit me with a real stumper – he wanted a Minecraft Ender Dragon, with wings that ‘really worked’. Ok. No problem. Anyone who knows minecraft, knows how … Read more
