10 Crazy-Clever Halloween Costumes You Can Make for Kids


A Barista And Frappuccino

A white onesie, DIY whipped cream hat and Starbucks logo are all you need to make your kid’s costume come to life. As for you? Just shop your closet for anything white and a green kitchen apron.

Peter Pan And Tinkerbell

OK, so you might need to order your toddler’s costume online, but for mom, all you really need is a vest, a belt and a green hat. 

Shark And A Lifeguard

You could probably DIY the shark suit if you’re feeling crafty and have the time. (Or buy one here.) Then, for mom, you really only need a red sweatshirt and a whistle.

Mrs. Potts And Belle

If you’re a wiz with a sewing machine, great. But if you’re like the rest of us, Amazon Prime is your best friend for both mom and kid ensembles.

Vendor And A Bag Of Popcorn

Just grab some red and white fabric to cover your baby carrier and superglue your favorite snack to a white beanie for the cutest costume around. (Don’t forget to keep some extra popcorn on hand for trick or treaters.)
