With Halloween soon to be upon us, kids are starting to get ideas in their heads about what they want to dress up as for the holiday. With costumes being rather expensive to buy in store, you may be thinking of trying your hand at making your own. I’ll be honest, my kids always come up with something super crazy and weird that they want to be for Halloween.
I’m not particularly crafty, so it always feels a little overwhelming to make their Halloween dream costume come true. Still, there are so many amazing costume ideas that require no real skill in the craft department (thank goodness).
From no-sew tutorials to cardboard cutouts to simply using basic everyday clothing to create your favorite characters, Halloween costumes for kids don’t have to be difficult. Here are 49 simple costume ideas that will make you a super hero in your children’s eyes this year.
