What Is a Good Halloween Costume That Kids Will Recognize?
I’m probably going to be responsible for passing out candy this year, and I was thinking of wearing a costume that the kids would be able to guess.
I’d like to be something/someone from pop culture, not something generic like a witch or a clown.
Any suggestions of pop culture icons that are easily recognizable to kids (ages 4 to 12) that I could be for Halloween?

Any Disney Costumes!! My husband dressed up as the beast, our daughter was Belle & I was Mrs. Potts. It was so fun!
tinkerbell or Michael Jackson… HeHe
How about something from harry potter? Everyone will recognize that. You could also do wonderwoman,or some sort of superheroine
How about SpongeBob?
try spiderman! or superman! or an x-men character like storm or hulk
Looney toons, Disney characters, barbie, Dora the explorer, Hello Kitty,……
How about Winnie the Pooh characters? also disney characters work like a charm.
Use tights, leotards or Sweats
Skunk
Black with white strip down the pack.. be careful everyone may run
Turtle
Green with a piece of poster board attached to the back. Simple cut the poster board into a large oval, make random marks like a turtle shell, and paint.
Puppy
Brown, tan or white, either paint, or pin paper spots on. Make floppy ears and bobby pin to hair over your ears. The tale can be most anything, depending on what type of doggie you wish to be. Add a little make-up.
Snowman
Buy white sweats, christmas socks, white keds tennis shoes, a cheap black hat, fake snow, mittens, scarf and black pom poms for the coal!
Spray paint the hat to look like snow and added a cheap red bird from the craft store. Buy a white mask and cheap carrot from the craft store and glued it onto the nose part of the mask. Glue the pompoms on the sweatshirt and that’s it. Cheap, simple and adorable.
A Bunch of Grapes
Using green or pruple sweets, attach balloons of the same color with safety pins. Ppaint face and hands same color.
purple tights, purple (long sleeves) body suit , 12 purple balloons and a green felt hat. Balloons are pinned (by the tied off end to the fabric in a triangle shape, 3 on top, 2 in middle and 1 at bottom (on front and back).
Bag of Jelly Beans
- lots of different colored balloons
- large clear plastic bag
– colorful ribbon
- two safety pins
- two pieces of white cardboard
Blow up all the balloons. Cut two leg holes in the bottom of the bag and two arm holes near the middle. Write on each piece of cardboard "JELLY BEANS 2 CENTS EACH". Safety pins signs to front and back of bag. LOOSELY tie around shoulders with a colorful ribbon. Cut off excess bag around face
Or you could use a box…
Thomas the Engine & Friends
Get a small box big enough to fit around your childs waist. Paint box
blue (for Thomas), or green (for Percy) etc. With colored construction paper add stripes and train number to sides, also add black train wheels. On front make a 3D face with construction paper to match your train of choice. Attach a belt from a robe to each side and harness over shoulders. Dress it up with a conductors hat.
Lego Block
Take a medium sized box (apple/orange boxes were a good size) cut two round holes in the sides for the arms. Hot glue 6 cottage cheese containers on the top of the box (the flat part) like a Lego piece. Spray paint the whole thing whatever color lego you want to be. Take a smaller box that will fit on top of their head snugly and hot glue one cottage cheese container and spray paint it the same color. Just slip into the open part of the back of the box and stick your arms through the holes.
Hello. – In my opinion, Anime character, Bratz Doll, a Fruit Roll-Up, a PlayStation3 Box.
Good Luck.
Have a nice day.
Go as your favorite musician.
