The temperatures are (finally) dropping and fall has officially begun. With the start of October, many kids look to one of the most fun days of the year — Halloween. Halloween party? Check. Candy for the trick-or-treaters? Check. All that’s left is the costumes.
Get creative this Halloween and help your kids stand out from every other ensemble from the Target Halloween aisle.
- The Jellyfish
Take a clear umbrella and attach streamers and ribbons around the edge so they hang like a jellyfish. Have your kiddo dress in colors to match and you’ve got the world’s cutest sea creature. Extra points if you add string lights to the inside of the umbrella to make it glow! - The Lumberjack
Break out the flannel shirt and jeans and you’re halfway there to a cute little lumberjack! Add boots, a warm hat, some makeup or felt for beard and an axe made out of cardboard to complete the look. - The Mermaid
Cut pieces of multicolored felt into scale shapes and attach them to a pair of your kiddo’s leggings with hot glue. Throw on a mermaid tee and she won’t need her sea legs anymore! - The Risky Business
What kiddo doens’t look stellar in a pair of sunglasses? All you need in a button down and some socks and your baby will be the coolest kid on the block.
Skip the long lines at the store and dress your kids in their Halloween best. A little creativity goes a long way.
And the best costume award goes to… you!
