Halloween is just around the corner and now is the time to start thinking about Halloween costumes for kids. It does not have to cost very much for you to put together an outfit for your child, all you need is some imagination.
For girls you could try a variety of different outfits as you could even make fairy outfits into a scary fairy for the night! If your sewing and making skills aren't up to much then start with something simple.
To make a really easy ghosts costume for either a boy or girl, cut down a sheet so they don't trip over it, make a hole in the centre for heads to go through and let them loose on the face paint!
To change this simple outfit into a more sophisticated get up for older children, you will be able to buy things such as Dracula's teeth, witch's hats and broomsticks, and bats wings from local shops and stores for very little money.
Entire outfits can sometimes be bought for very little money from large food stores, but these tend to sell quite quickly so be sure to be fast when looking to buy one to avoid your little one being disappointed.
Boys like anything that is gory and horrific, so use an abundance of gory face paints and fake blood capsules, and break them on their old clothes. Cut up unused items of their clothes and rub a bit of dirt in. You can buy plastic sheet capes for a minimal amount of money, which can be used again and again.
Letting older children paint their own face with a little bit of guidance from you would add to the fun and excitement for them. In many toy shops you can buy additional small items like pretend spiders, cobwebs and fake blood to make kids costumes more realistic.
