How cool is this creative costume idea? Perfect for a rainy Halloween! Grab a clear dome umbrella and glue “tentacles” around the edge – these can be ribbon, streamers, even strips of plastic bags or bubble wrap! Mix up the textures and colors for the best result and add glow sticks or battery-powered string lights to stand out at night! Pair with an all-white outfit and get ready to wow the neighborhood!

It doesn’t get much easier than this costume! Cut a wind-up key shape from cardboard and paint it gold or silver, then dress your little one up in their fancy clothes. Use face paint or lipstick to add some rosy red cheeks and fasten the key to the back of their outfit – that’s the whole costume!

Easy and fun! Dress your little one in a purple or green outfit and blow up a bunch of balloons to match. Carefully safety pin the ties of the balloons to your child’s outfit and finish with a green bow on a headband for the “stem.” Just beware of popping!

This is a staple Halloween costume for a reason – it’s super cute AND super easy to throw together last minute!
