Family-friendly Halloween Costumes

We posted a little while ago about some great ideas we found on Pinterest to make your kids costume. Be sure to follow us on Pinterest for all kinds of tips and ideas!  It’s really hard to come up with ideas or attempt to make costumes ourselves. But with the right idea, Halloween can be simple and fun.



Let’s start with movie themes.  It's easy to look like Mary Poppins with a long blouse and felt hat from the thrift store.  You can also look like Bert--just paint that old broomstick black and find a newsboy cap.  To be Dorothy from Wizard of Oz, all you need is a blue dress and a picnic basket (and maybe a stuffed animal). 


You can also try looking like you just popped out of your favorite book.  Haven't you always wanted to be Harry Potter, and isn't Smeagol from Lord of the Rings a great choice if you want to go scary for the Halloween party?  Game of Thrones is a popular pick this year.  If you already look a little like a character from a kids' book, why not go as Where's Waldo?  We have to admit, people will probably be able to spot you right away.
