Based on Faith Academy Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 My dd, age 10, wants a simple outfit for Halloween. She doesn't want anything fancy or anything that calls for a lot of items to be put on. Can you help me come up with some ideas? Tia!!

Tap Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 About the same age, dd was a penguin. She took a black hoodie and stuck on a large white patch for the belly. She wore black leggings and either made a beak with a stretchy string and paper or drew it on (I don't remember). alternatively, a cat is always super simple 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundrycrisis Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Our 11 yo has decided to go as a plague doctor. I ordered a $15 mask and he's reusing a black robe from a previous year's costume. He doesn't believe us that he needs a hat because the robe has a hood. As long as he's happy :thumbup: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecropia Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Some "punny" costumes are super easy. Pig in a blanket -- pig nose & ears and a blanket Smarty pants - tape a bunch of smarties candies to her pants Ceiling fan - letter stickers on a blank shirt "Ceiling Fan", walk around with cheer poms 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Does she have any western clothing? Like cowboy boots or similar? She could wear jeans, plaid button up, cowboy/cowgirl hat. Pirate? Eye patch, bandana, white puffy blouse maybe, pants and boots. Skeleton? Shirt and pants with skeleton bones or one long piece that drapes over you with the skeleton drawn on it. Either a mask or face paint. For young kids I see these sold as PJs. In some stores now you could find a skeleton shirt but I don't know what you'd do for the pants. Scarecrow? Overalls, shirt, straw hat and some face paint. Maybe some extra pieces of straw attached as bracelets or something. Might be itchy, though. Simple witch costume. Dress/skirt with stripped tights and a hat. Works best if you have some black dress shoes or boots I guess. Old school ghost Mavis from Hotel Transylvania. Black dress, tights, red converse (if you have that) and optional cape with black lipstick. Hair might be an issue if you need to find a wig, but she could be a generic vampire. Not counting these as a lot of items to put on since they would be regular clothing, mostly. Not very original, but just some ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppy Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 My daughter bought a $5 wolf mask at target and is wearing gray clothes. Easy and it's exactly what she wants! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Library Momma Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 She can wear red, white and blue and be the 4th of July. Last year my daughter and all of her friends went as different holidays. It was cute and relatively easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Mine is doing the same! I love the Plague Doctor idea, too. There's always a Freudian Slip - wear a slip. Pin on various phrases that could be Freudian slips.

PinkTulip Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 My son is going as Waldo from "Where's Waldo." Red and white striped shirt, glasses, a red beanie, and jeans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry in OH Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Does she play a sport or know someone who will loan her a uniform? Football player, baseball player, karate kid? Team colors and pompoms - rabid fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 My dd, age 10, wants a simple outfit for Halloween. She doesn't want anything fancy or anything that calls for a lot of items to be put on. Can you help me come up with some ideas? Tia!! If she's into simple in general, she can get a buzz cut and a hospital gown and go as Eleven from Stranger Things like my dd! (she claims that's not why she got the buzz cut, but I'm not convinced) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 When my DD was about that age she went as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She's blonde, so all it took was a stylish outfit, put her hair up in a ponytail, and carry a stake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Or just buy a Gryffindor scarf. Wear with anything. Appropriate costume every yera til she's an old old lady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
