I have been gone for 5 days and Halloween is on Saturday. I need to get going on my kid Halloween Costumes. Personally, I love having the kids come up with something creative we have at home.
One year my youngest was Huck Finn and another Cereal Killer. We used things we already had at home or bought things he could reuse. Here are 5 Easy Kids Halloween Costumes you can make with clothes and items you already use.
Simple Last Minute Halloween Costumes
Easy Elf on the Shelf Costume
Who says you can’t dress for Christmas at Halloween. This year our last minute DIY costume was Elf on The Shelf. You simply need red onesie PJ’s, a Santa Hat and White Felt.
Care Bear Costumes:
Most adults remember the Care Bears. Create a family of Care bears with simple Sweat Pants and Felt. This should only take a few minutes and you have a great family costume. This Could not be easier.

Such a cute post! I wish I had this to read as my daughter was growing then I wouldn’t have had to buy those expensive costumes. Great post!
Great collection and easy too! I especially love the cat lady – totally made me chuckle. My kids love to dress up as minions. I have dressed as a purple crayon before 🙂
These are so great! I especially LOOVE the salt girl one!!!! So cute!
These are all so cute. I think the scuba divers are my faves!
All great ideas for last minute costumes! I love the stick figure one especially and the crayon one would be easy to make, too!
I love the hair on the crayons – it’s adorable – and the cereal killer is quite clever!
I love all of these! Such cute idea!
Oh my goodness those scuba divers are adorable! Adults could do these as well!
Some of these are hilarious! I love the crayola crayons!

My favourite is the raincloud costume it is so creative and different from the normal witch or devil Halloween costume that people tend to wear.
