If you have small children then you will know that Halloween can sometimes be stressful in the costume department. It can either be very simple to put together or it can be a time consuming project that takes several weeks. Remember that a Halloween costume idea should come from your child, dont project what you would have liked to be at the age onto your child. A great idea is to get a book from the library and look through some costume ideas. Some Halloween costume ideas are very easy to put together and you and your child can have fun putting them together.

Sunflower Fun

Very young children can be difficult to dress up; toddler costumes are often exorbitant and wont get more than one use out of them. A very cute toddler costume idea is to dress your little one up as a sunflower. This takes very little effort and you might already have parts of the costume at home. Dress your little one in a green one piece pajama suit or green pants and shirt.

Find a brown cap that fits snugly around babys head, something similar to a snow cap. Cut petal shapes out of yellow felt and glue onto the cap. If you would like to add leaves then glue green felt leaves to the collar of your toddlers shirt. This Halloween costume idea is even cuter with a little watering can to carry candy in.

Little Rockstar

If your child has started a love for rock and roll early why not let your junior head banger go as a rockstar for Halloween? This Halloween costume idea is relatively easy to put together. For boys find a black t-shirt and jeans, preferably black jeans that are a little tight fitting. Make rips at the knees and find some wallets chains to adorn your childs jeans. You can also use a leather jacket for added cool; a cool leather cuff with spikes is also a must.

For girls some leopard print is in order, a leopard print jacket over a black top and skirt says cool rock chick. Add some torn panty hose for that edgy look and have fun tying your daughters hair into a crazy rock chick hairdo. This is a great Halloween costume idea for kids who are a little older and dont want to be caught wearing anything thats too cute or cheesy. There are plenty of references that you can use for this Halloween costume idea.
