The kinds of getup that kids wear at this season depend on many things. Some kids are too afraid that they cannot afford to look scary. There are those who prefer famous characters as costumes rather than to look like the other kids. For parents who are now on the quest of finding appropriate costumes for their children, here are some recommendations that aim to make everything easier for you. The following will help give your kids good memories even when you don't spend too much money to attain that.
1. Ghost. This may be the most obvious look that perfectly fit the mood of the season. Your kids can easily turn themselves to look like one even without your help. With some materials and doses of imagination, they can already have a blast come Halloween. If you have old sheets at home, these are going to be great for this purpose. Fit the sheet on the child and cut holes on the part of the eyes. Using a permanent marker, you can draw things like chains, blood, spider webs or anything just to make it more spooky.
2. Hobo. Look into the closet of your husband and choose old looking clothes that you can have the kids wear. Match the clothes with an outdated hat. Using watercolor, you can paint beard on the face of the child to achieve the kind of effect that you are after.
3. Nerd. Think about all the portrayals done on TV and films about nerds. You need to start with clothes that look outdated and the kinds that won't be worn by what society considers the in crowd. Have you child on pants that is too small and shirt that is all buttoned up. The hair is vital at the overall effect. With the help of gels, you can slick the child's hair back. Do not forget old pair of eyeglasses to complete the get-up. Come Halloween, the child can bring along big books to create the statement.
4. Angel. Like the sheet that you use for the ghost costume, this can also be utilized for this purpose. Instead of ghastly drawings, you can use clear spray and sprinkle some glitter to complete the effect. Create a halo and wings from available materials, or you can buy the affordable kinds.
There are more ideas that you can adapt at this instance wherein you are not required to spend so much. In choosing Halloween costumes, these do not have to be expensive. The important thing here is that the child will enjoy and remember fun memories on the event no matter what they wear.
