We’ve also come across an incredibly cute list of Halloween costumes that a 'friendly budgetarian traveler' created, and we’re getting all sorts of feels with it. It’s definitely got some trendy Halloween ideas that could work for both kids and adults- but especially cute for the youngsters. You’ll find one of the trendiest costumes going around this year from the “Squid Game”, along with how you can easily make it yourself.
Kids Go Vintage
We've also decided on a favorite costume from the list above and thought it was a great idea to highlight; it is surely the ‘Go Vintage’ costume. What a brilliant and underrated idea to dress your kid up with! You’d just need to dive into grandma or grandpa’s closet, find some old postcards and you won’t be able to control the cuteness. Amazon has a wide array of vintage outfits for kids.
Cruella Halloween Costume
Brace yourselves, parents! This one is for all the cute little rebels out there. Disney’s Cruella De Vil and the original 101 Dalmations are both movies that share the main character, Cruella, and are loved by so many. We are bringing you the Kid version of the costume below. Polka dots, pearls and some crazy hair will do it! Sorry boys, this one’s mostly for the girls.
We hope we’ve helped with some ideas for next week. Remember, at the end of the day, the best part about Halloween for kids is all the candy that goes around. That’s why we added Ellen Degeneres’s hilarious video with some more last-minute costumes and some candy-hungry kids. Enjoy!
