Creating Exciting Children’s Halloween Costumes

When preparing for Halloween, not only are Halloween crafts a fun way to decorate the home for the big day, but finding just the right children’s Halloween costume can make the day perfect.

In the Stores

There are other children’s Halloween costumes that are more complex and have to be found in costume stores. Some of these costumes mimic the characters that children watch in movies and on TV. For instance, for little girls, there are Cinderella costumes, Belle, Mermaid, Tinkerbelle, and Wonder Woman. For little boys there are Batman costumes, Robin, Flash, Power Rangers, and Superman.

In addition, there are children’s Halloween costumes that mimic some of the jobs that children often have dreams of having when they get older. One of these for little boys is a chef, a pirate, a police officer, a navy officer, or a police officer. For little girls there are nurse costumes, car hops, lawyers, dancers and singer costumes.

There are also children’s Halloween costumes that are made for babies and toddlers. One is the rabbit toddler costume which can come in blue or pink so that it can be for a boy or a girl. The body of the costume is soft and fits like a pair of pajamas, with a fluffy bunny tail in the back of it. The ears are floppy and sit on the top of a comfortable hat, which is also fuzzy. There are little lamb or bear children’s Halloween costumes that are designed similarly to the bunny costume.

Other cute children’s Halloween costumes are the angel costume for little girls and the Cookie Monster costume that is usually used for little boys. There are also Eeyore costumes and Elmo costumes that look adorable on little children, as well as clown and cheerleader costumes which are always a hit.

There are also costumes that work for siblings to wear together, such as the hotdog and hamburger costumes or the peanut butter and jelly costumes which make for great Halloween pictures and memories.

Ideas for Adult Halloween Costumes

Adult and children’s Halloween costume ideas can be found at any costume supply store. Often the costumes found in the store can be recreated by using materials that are found in the home. Other times the costume is so ornate or unique, the adult Halloween costume has to be bought in the store to create the effect that is desired. There are some costumes that are designed to be worn by an individual, whereas others are designed to be used by couples. There are other costumes that are made for certain theme parties, such as Independence Day.

Types of Costumes

Adult Halloween costumes that are made for couples can be a lot of fun. There are sailor costumes that can be found where the woman’s costume is a sailor’s dress and the man’s costume is a sailor’s uniform. There is also a caveman and cave woman costume for a more comic effect. Hippie adult Halloween costumes are also very fun to use, full of vests, tie die, head bands and large aviator glasses. There are also funny adult Halloween costumes that are designed for the couple to wear them together. One example of this is a Siamese twin costume so that the couple is ‘stuck’ together. There is also the famous horse or donkey costume where the first person is the head and the other person is the tail. Another funny adult couples Halloween costume is a ketchup and mustard bottle, or other such condiment that goes together.

If the individual does not want an adult Halloween costume that goes with another person, there are even more choices in costumes. Individuals can dress as angels or fairies, or as a certain insect such as a butterfly or dragonfly. There are also animal costumes that are fun, such as a cat or dog costume, or even a cow costume. There are also adult Halloween costumes that mimic different cultures such as Greek, Egyptian, or Arabian costumes. There are also costumes that are related to different periods in time.

There are also fun adult Halloween costumes such as the sumo wrestler, the body builder, or a tattoo king costume. There are others that are witty and take some thinking on the part of those who view the costume such as the ‘chick magnet’ which has the individual wearing a huge ‘magnet’ with little yellow chicks stuck to it.
