subject: Halloween Costumes For Kids That Are Exciting [print this page] Halloween can be a busy time for mothers. Besides the typical cooking and running of the household, they will now have to fret about goodies for Trick and Treat, Halloween parties, decorations and costumes for the kids. What's a mother to do when she hardly has time to brush her hair? Don't fret, supermom, here are some no-fuss, easy-to-make halloween costumes for kids that will have you thanking your lucky stars. Oh, your children will adore you for these costumes too.
1. Cartoon/TV/Movie Character
The simplest costume to make is something that is already made for you. The clothes that are found in your children's closet will allow them to dress up as characters which is fantastic and convenient. Well, don't encourage your kid to go as Bugs Bunny or something. Here are several characters that you and your child will adore.
Rainbow Bright
Everybody loves this cheerful ray of sunshine. And all that is required is a brightly-colored skirt, an equally bright shirt, rainbow knee-high socks and you are ready to party or go trick or treating. Also you must not forget about the pigtails and the star sticker on your daughter's cheek.
Harry Potter/Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley
Okay. Countless kids might go as the famous kids from Hogwarts, but if your tiny tot insists on dressing up as one, then fantasic for you! All that is required is a black toga (a black cloth will do), a wand and a pair of glasses for Harry. If your little girl is dressing as Hermione, then just mess her hair up into tangled curls. If your son wants to be Ron, just put an orange wig on him - if he isn't already a redhead.
Ninja
If your child loves doing karate, why don't you encourage him or her to wear a ninja costume? All that is required is an all-black outfit and a black face mask (an old knit hat with holes for the eyes and nose would be sufficient).
2. Animals
If your kid asks you to make an animal costume, you should not worry. You don't have to sew an entire cow costume to make the kid happy. Use face paint instead to draw whiskers, snouts and other effects. And for floppy ears for your puppy? You can always purchase headbands with various types of animal ears painted on them. As an alternative, you can make ears out of cardboard and colored paper. Dress your kids up in solid colors for the body. For example, all white for your kitten and brown for your puppy.
3. Prince/Princess
Going as a Prince or Princess will be great for you because it is an easy costume to make. For this, you will need a frilly dress or a regular tux and a crown.
Here is a tip: Start thinking about your costumes several weeks before Halloween. This time will allow you and your kid to brainstorm ideas about costumes that will be easy to make and both you and your kid will like. Remember, on Halloween, costumes are vital for your children. Make sure you decide on one that your son or daughter will be proud of.
Good luck with your trick or treating and stay safe.
