Not that I sew that slowly (although right now my sewing machine and I are in a fight over some curtains I was making for the living room), but every time I try to sit down and work on a costume something more important keeps coming up.
Poopy diapers, dinner, blogging, playing Candy Crush!! You get the drift…
Halloween Costumes for Kids
I have found some super, duper cute ideas for DIY Halloween costumes…
Wild Thing Costume by Kathleen Phillips
Seriously cute, right? I absolutely love the idea of creating costumes based on your child’s favorite book characters. It is a wonderful way to get creative and show off a little personality. This is a totally adorable DIY costume.
Shark Costume by Fiskars
This is a super easy and economical idea for a fun costume. This is sure to be a hit with your pre-teen boys. The best part about this costume, I think, is that it is subtle enough to be worn as a hoody outside of Halloween night as well.
Swing over to Primary.com and grab a gray hoodie…
Animal Masks by Petit Poulou
I love these cute and versatile masks for both boys and girls. These would be the perfect addition to a costume or even great just for playtime at home.
Penguin Costume by Make It and Love It
This is definitely one of my favorite costumes EVER…Love it. My little penguin would FLIP for this outfit. The best part…she also has tutorials for coordinating Mary Poppins and Bert costumes. Adorable.
M&M’s from Evite
This is a super easy group costume…all you need is a felt or vinyl “M” and some solid color t-shirts (Primary.com has you covered!) You can add leggings or tutus or even jeans on the bottom!
Alvin & the Chipmunks from Brit&Co
Those same solid shirts and leggings can turn your trio into those cute little singing chipmunks…easy peasy!!
Jake from State Farm from Twenty-Two Words
It’s Jake..from State Farm. Yeah, sure it is. But seriously, if you have a red polo and some khaki pants…you are in business!!! Just grab an inexpensive headset.
Rain Cloud from Make It Love It
I love this little rain cloud. It’s a little more of a DIY than some of the others, but Primary.com can get you started with black leggings and a black shirt…easy peasy!
Crayons from Costume Works
Umm…hello adorable. Dress your little cuties up like crayons with solid shirts and leggings! Too, too cute!

Thank you for reading my Easy Halloween Costume Ideas!
I love the penguin! It’s so cute!! Thanks for linking up to Party Time on Moms & Munchkins and we hope to see you next week.
Oh my gosh – those are all ADORABLE! The Wild Things is probably my favorite. I wish I knew how to sew – I guess it’s never too late to learn!
Hi Holly,
The Wild Thing costume is actually my creation :) Thanks for sharing it– I’m flattered! Can you give me credit instead of Costume Works? Thanks!
oh my gosh these are all so cute… I especially love the raining cloud costume! I remember the days that my niece would let me do this with her & she loved to be involved in it but as she grew up she wanted store bought costumes… what a bummer!
Omgoodness…I just can’t! How clever…the alvin, simon, and theodore costumes crack me up. I love the rain cloud one and the baby costumes are the best! My 2 year old is going to be a bumble bee and the costume is super cute. Thanks for sharing this. LOVE!!!
Wow these costumes are absolutely amazing! I wish I could make these but I can’t sew lol
I’m not at all into Halloween, but how cute are these costumes?! Especially the baby-penguin….so adorable! But also the rainy cloud – actually, I wouldn’t know which one to pick.
Oh my gosh I love these make-it-yourself ideas! I’m a big lover of halloween and I never get to dress up because of the prices of outfits… But this is making things super easy to do!! Thank you for this :)
So many cute costumes. Of course I love the little penguin. But I bet the Jake From State Farm one would get a big reaction too. So funny.
That shark costume is so close to the one that’s on my blog this week. You know what they say great minds ?
