We’re just a few weeks away from Halloween, making it time to find or assemble a suitable costume for the annual festivities. There are plenty of ways to do this, including these creative costume categories for your Colorado kid.

Try These Creative Halloween Costumes

Monster Costumes –

It wouldn’t be Halloween without at least a few little Frankensteins or Draculas running around at a Trunk or Treat event. If you’re running low on inspiration, and desire something different, however, all you have to do is review your classic horror film library for limitless options. It’s easy to make or purchase all the following costumes: mummies, dragons, elves, werewolves, swamp creatures, unicorns, ogres, trolls, and so much more.

Historical People Costumes –

Some families prefer to keep things more realistic and perhaps educational. To accommodate this, many costume designers make costumes featuring historical figures such as George Washington, Julius Caesar, St. Joan of Arc, Thomas Edison, and others. 

Pop Entertainment Costumes –

Here’s another wide open category. You could pursue costumes that involve Marvel characters, or even dress up as your favorite baseball player, actress, or musician. Spiderman, Batman, and various Star Wars characters are extremely popular. Just remember that any costume with a heavy mask or helmet (like, Darth Vader) may be difficult for young children to endure for very long. It’s always better to try on a costume with your child to see if they can handle it first.

DIY Costumes –

Finally, those “do it yourself” costumes can be the most enjoyable of all. You can even borrow elements of all the previous ideas to make this approach work. Everyone’s seen the simple ghost costume (made from a bed sheet and two holes), but you can do this with many other ideas, and get your youngster involved. With enough cardboard, duct tape, and paint, it’s possible to build your child into a walking lego brick, dinosaur, flower pot, crayon box, and beyond.
