12 Halloween Costume Ideas for Kids
All Hallows’ Eve is just round the corner and while you might be looking forward to get your hands on DVDs of Freddy and Jason and spine chilling Gothic novels, or preparing to scare the hell out of your friends with a brand new spooky story, or even planning an elaborate trick to scare the guts out of them; you must not forget the kids. This is the time of year when every kid is looking forward to the ‘trick-or-treat’ and attending the costume parties. The one thing they want to make sure is, to be the one wearing the scariest or the most ‘out of the world’ costume of all. So here are some creepy costume ideas to spook it up for them.
1. The Joker
The days of goblins and skeletons are gone. Thanks to Mr. Nolan, the joker fever has caught up again and the upside to this costume is that, it is more about the makeup and hence you won’t have to worry much about the actual costume. And the downside? Well, he won’t find the clowns much funny anymore. But if the joker idea sounds too dark to you for a kid, simply dress him up as joker’s nemesis-the batman and watch your boy superhero his way to Halloween fame.
2. Dwarf
What with Hollywood’s recent fixation with snow white, dressing your kid up as a dwarf seems a great idea. Besides, it will look realistic and finding a costume and a beard shouldn’t be a problem. Let him take his pick from the seven dwarves and dress him up as the lovable character.
3. The Avengers
If you are not worried much about novelty, this should be the easiest choice as the shops are overflowing with avenger costumes all thanks to the recent blockbuster. From Thor and the Hulk to Iron Man and Captain America, you will be spoilt for choice.
4. Hobbit
Transform your kid into Bilbo Baggins and he will surely come back with a lot of treats from guising around the neighborhood. Besides, with Tolkien’s masterpiece soon coming out as a blockbuster, join the brouhaha and make your kid a part of the classic.
5. Angry birds
If there is one game that has caught the attention of the public, it is gotta be Angry Birds. So take your pick and dress up your child as one of the angry birds and make sure he/she looks the cutest of the lot. Besides, after the superhero costumes, this is the one in high demand right now, so don’t wait for the twelfth hour if you liked this costume idea.
6. An Olympic star
The London Olympics has just ended and it is the perfect time to dress up your kid as Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt and if it is a girl, as Serena. And the only thing your kid would need is a matching haircut and sportswear. How simpler could it be?
