Barbies, crackerjacks and crash test dummies – they are all cuter when they are kids Halloween costumes. There is something about a little face peaking out of Frankenstein eyes that just melts our hearts.
The animal kingdom is represented with peacocks and jellyfish. Many kids like to dress up as food, such as steak, A1 sauce and a chef salad. Cotton candy, push up pops and gumballs are also very popular. Personally, we love the four year old who agreed to be half Hall and half Oates.
In addition, ideas here range from Optimus Prime, Inside Out characters, a mailtruck, Sharknado and even a haunted castle!

Cut out the bottom of a round laundry basket, cut a piece of cardboard to use as a back board(connect the back board to the laundry basket with wire). Paint a line on the backboard. Then you cut a slice out of one of your brothers old basket balls and put it on your head!
From the very start, I have always encouraged my daughter to be an individual..to think outside of the box and to go over and above what is required. Of course, I thought that this would help make me a good parent, but in reality, it has given me one imaginative, creative young lady but also … Read more
Our family loves sushi. If you ask my 4-year-old what she would like for dinner, the answer is always the same… SUSHI!

Students are able to choose a popular literary character to dress up as, in lieu of dressing up as a witch, ghost, or superhero.
