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…
We made this raving rabbid costume couple of years ago for Halloween. We used a big salad bowl as a mold for the paper-maché head, 2 small glass pots + 2 small decoration balls (= 2 mad eyes), about 3 meters of white fleece, pink material paint and a bit of cardboard (for the ears … Read more
As usual my daughter’s school gave just 2 days notice that they were holding a world book day (UK) fancy dress contest. As were not one for shop bought costumes it had to be something simple, quick and easy to get bits and bobs for. Then, just to make it that little bit more complicated I asked my daughter’s … Read more
Yeah, those are words you should never utter around me. As a kid my mother never “bought” us costumes per say. We always got random items on clearance (ie. My awesome blue glitter wig that I used every year to be an alien, a rock star, one of the Jem’s Holograms etc) . This last Halloween … Read more
My son told me that he wanted to be a “Knight of Olde” for his book character day at school, so I took up the challenge. After perusing many sites, I decided to go with a tunic and cape costume. Off to the the fabric store I went and purchased a yard of black felt, … Read more
My son is obsessed with the Nightmare before Christmas movie. Obsessed!! It has been his favorite movie since he was 3. So when I asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween, I should not have been surprised when he announced Jack Skellington. Little did I know this costume would become my obsession over the course … Read more
I tend to go big or go home for Halloween, when my daughter wanted to be a peacock for Halloween I wasn’t about to let her go trick-or-treating with a couple feathers in her tail. First came finding the feathers. Peacock feathers are expensive at most craft stores…so instead I went right to the source. I found … Read more
My brother, Luke, is 12 this year, and he was having trouble thinking of a costume. So I thought of the saying ‘When life gives you lemons…’ and we came up with this! We wanted to keep the costume plain. No logo tee shirts, no bright colors. So Luke just wore jeans and a white … Read more
While watching Pocahontas, my four year old daughter decided she wanted to be the hummingbird, Flit for Halloween. Easy enough, but I felt like no one would know what she was! Good thing her siblings are still young enough that I get to pick their costumes so enter; Pocahontas and Meeko. I just dabble in … Read more
This Egyptian God Ra costume was supposed to be a one night super fast costume for my son’s 6th grade Egypt day at school. They were to all dress as something Egyptian. Most just wrapped sheets around them and put on eyeliner. Of course my son wants to be the Bird God Ra. Sigh. No pattern, … Read more
My son decided to tell me this year he’d like to be Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. He knows I make every costume, why this?? lol, but I took it head on, and worked on it simultaneously with Alice for my daughter. So, I started with his sword. It’s a .99 cents only store … Read more
Take an old pair of over sized pants and cut them off mid calf and make a jagged, uneven hem for this clown costume. Use an old shirt and cut holes in it, wash to give it a frayed look, then splatter with fake blood. I picked up a pair of suspenders from the thrift store for $1 and used … Read more
I made this scary Exorcist Costume by taking an old night gown and mixing up a nice green pea soup color and painting it on the front of the gown to make it look like she threw up on herself, like in the movie The Exorcist. I also got some old house shoes for her to wear. She … Read more
