My son is 2-1/2, and really doesn’t understand about Halloween yet, which means he’s been refusing to talk costumes with me. So I’m going to have to figure out one for him, as once he sees other kids dressed up for it, he WILL want one.
- Puzzle pieces – Cut out and paint cardboard, attach to clothing.
- Race track – Black outfit painted with car lanes, toy cars attached.
- Construction worker – He loves construction equipment.
- Dog
- The color blue – A little subtle for his age, but it’s one I call a pigment of the imagination.
- King – He loves playing dressup with his sister and being the king.
- Fireman – Another little obsession of his.
- Bug of one sort or another.
- Painter – Just let him have some fun before trick or treat time, and the costume almost makes itself.
- Clown
- Computer geek – He loves computers already.
- Superman – His favorite superhero.
- Suggestions??
I generally make the kids’ costumes at home. My daughter is already on notice to finalize what she wants, which as of last night was Cinderella. I tried to talk her into “Cinderella in rags” because kids always want to do “Cinderella at the ball” and so she’d stand out more, but she doesn’t want that.

That puzzle one seems cool. These are some great frugal ideas.
my 13 is up on Working at Home Mom
Very creative thinking.
Happy TT!
How about a lego block? Just get a cardboard box he can wear.. (put a hole in the top) and you can decorate it with paint or sparkly gift wrap paper.
🙂
Love those ideas especially the race track! Good luck coming up with something he will be excited about even at his young age!
Happy TTing!
Even at 40-something, I love Halloween. And I love the puzzle-pieces idea. Great thinking.
Those are some creative ideas! We’re pretty much stuck on princesses too, although my oldest wants to be a butterfly this year.

Really great list. My friends 4 year old begged and begged to be Spiderman. When they got to the store to get the costume, he started crying that he didn’t want Spiderman. He now wanted Batman.
Good luck!
[…] Besides, Halloween is coming and I still haven’t made my son’s costume. But I did get a start last night. He finally informed me he wants to be a blue dragon. Of course the stores only have red dragon costumes. […]
