With Halloween looming children will be expecting you to supply them with kids Halloween costumes for them to go out trick and treating. There are many different options for you to consider that do not have to cost the earth.
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.
You could turn the sheet outfit into something for bigger kids to wear by buying teeth for Dracula, broomsticks for witches, plastic bats and eye patches for dressing the costume up. These additional bits don't cost much money.
If you do not want to make an outfit or do not have time then they can be bought relatively cheaply from plenty of shops. Sometimes these can sell out quite quickly so once you start seeing them about grab it whilst you can.
For a boys outfit they love to dress up as vampires, ghosts and monsters. Again these can be made quite simply at home by getting an old pair of their trousers and cutting them off into a jagged hem, and using a dark t shirt. You could either buy a cape or make one out of an old dark sheet.
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.
