Easy Halloween Costume Ideas

Easy Halloween Costume Ideas for busy parents:

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I was usually the homeroom parent for parties in preschool and grade school and would make elaborate costumes for my children and myself to wear to image[4]these celebrations. I’m not sure who enjoyed these events more – me or my kids!  Sadly, my kids are college-aged now and create their own costumes to wear to mark the occasion.  I still manage to dress up to hand out goodies to the neighborhood kids on beggars’ night. My weimeraner, Pearl, is now the object of my costume obsession.  She has grudgingly become Princess Leia from Star Wars, a hippie, a crazy Cyclone fan, and more over the years.

Today, parents are busier than ever it seems, with all of the work and activity demands on them. Check out some simple costume ideas for kids that can be made at home. Many of these can be made from items you may already have.  Think of it as re-purposing and recycling these items.

Have a SAFE, FUN HALLOWEEN everyone!
