Those who happen to be gifted with needle and thread will have the benefit of customizing the costumes to fit their children, as well as saving some money in the process. If, on the other hand, you¡¯re sewing machine challenged, these costumes can be found in a variety of places, such as your local party store, costume shop or online merchants.
With more families enjoying the Halloween festivities as a group, there are lots of costumes that can be adapted to a large number of participants. Should this be the case, some of these suggestions can be expanded to include the entire family. For instance, Winnie the Pooh characters, Care Bears, Sesame Street characters and a scarecrow or two with several crows would adapt quite nicely to a family costuming scenario. Many of these can also be incorporated into single-parent families, or simply be used for a group of friends that wish to celebrate together. |
