30 Quick and Simple Kids Costumes Homemade For Halloween
Kids Costumes Do not Have to Be Complicated
What happened to the ” great ol’ days” when a
Halloween costume was your Dad’s old shirt and cap, along with a burnt cork
beard? Kids costumes do not need to complex to be cute!
Each of these fast and effortless costumes starts with a couple of straightforward
materials like hooded sweatshirts, sweat pants, posterboard, craft
foam, felt, face paint, and a small imagination.
Pirate
Black sweats, white shirt, red sash and bandanna, cardboard sword
covered in foil, parrot beanie baby cheap lace wigs, stubbly face made with burnt cork
or tobacco sprinkled on vaseline covered cheeks
Kid Hit By Lightning
Gray sweats with large yellow felt zigzag pinned to the front,
blackened zigzag tears in here and there on suit, hair gelled to stand
straight up, burnt cork “burns” on cheeks
Wrapped Present
Cover a significant box with colorful wrapping paper. Make a hole in the
bottom and invert over child’s head. Add lots of matching ribbons in
child’s hair.

represent a pair of dice. Cut hole in bottom and invert over children’s

Placard Costumes
Yet another fast and uncomplicated concept for kid costumes is a “placard costume” in
which the child wears a hooded sweatshirt and pulls front and back
cardboard panels (the placard) on over it. Shape the placard (poster
board works fine) as needed for the costume desired, and design it with
markers or felt pieces. This sort of costume could be adapted to a lot of
diverse themes, such as:

heights can be “plain” and “peanut”!)
