Your kids will be posing everywhere, saying, \u2018I\u2019m Batman!\u2019 in their deepest voices. Fancy taking on the role of a villain?

Some can be totally funny, and quirky costumes are definitely in!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Minions<\/strong> \u2013 You want to be bright yellow, stand out from the crowd and be one-eyed, right? We know not all minions are one-eyed, but that would still be pretty quirky. It\u2019s not hard to put this costume together. If you have blue dungarees, a yellow shirt and goggles, you can 100% DIY this Halloween costume.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Devilled Egg <\/strong>&#8211; Okay, so this is definitely niche, but on a toddler, it\u2019ll be pretty cute. Get some red-horned headbands and white and yellow fabric (preferably felt). Measure the white fabric around your child, cut it into the shape of a fried egg, and stitch it together. Then, to create the yolk, cut out a piece of yellow felt and stitch it onto the white fabric. And you\u2019re done! Simple and easy\u2014and only needs three steps!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Walking Pinata<\/strong> \u2013 So, this will probably require creative brains and a lot of time \u2013 but hey, Halloween is still over a month away! You\u2019ll need:\n<ul>\n<li>An oversized t-shirt\/dress<\/li>\n<li>Lots of different coloured crepe paper<\/li>\n<li>Fabric glue<\/li>\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n<li>A lot of patience!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li>First, you\u2019ll need to place your shirt or dress around something flat so it\u2019s secure and you can easily stick the paper onto it.<\/li>\n<li>Next, grab your coloured crepe paper and cut fringes into it. Then, start applying the coloured pieces onto the dress with the fabric glue. You should start with a line of blue crepe paper, followed by red, green, pink, and so on. There should be a line for each colour (like how a pinata looks). Once your top or dress is fully covered with the crepe paper on the front, turn it around and do the same thing on the back!<\/li>\n<li>After the crepe paper has been added to the whole outfit, it\u2019s ready to rock and roll! But to make your outfit look more like a pinata, decorate a party hat with the same coloured paper and dangle some strips off the tip. It\u2019ll finish the pinata ensemble, and it\u2019ll definitely be a costume to remember! Except no one will be hitting you to get sweets\u2026because you\u2019ll be asking for them instead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taco<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s a shame Halloween isn\u2019t on a Tuesday because then it\u2019ll be TACO TUESDAY! Either way, dressing up as food is always fun and a huge hit. So, how about getting a taco outfit &#8211; whether it\u2019s for your kid or for you?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Candyfloss<\/strong> \u2013 A sweet but funny costume and you can dye the cotton wool any colour, because who can tell you what colour candyfloss is? Whether you chose lime green, baby pink, sky blue or just plain white! You\u2019ll need lots of cotton wool and a dress or outfit you can stick the wool on using spray adhesive until it looks like a huge ball of candyfloss! Then, make a cone for their head out of the card and add some more cotton wool to the base of the cone. Then you should have a cone of candyfloss ready for trick or treating!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Quirky Halloween Costumes<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;]\n            <div class=\"dowtk-blog-image\">\n                \n                \n                    <picture class=\"attraction-cta__image\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1748908637.jpg\" alt=\"glow sticks halloween costume\" class=\"lazyload\" \/> \n                    <\/picture>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            [vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Glow In The Dark Stick Man<\/strong> \u2013 Do you really want your kids (or you) to stand out? Then listen up! Halloween is always when the nights have gotten dark and what\u2019s better to brighten up the night with a little bit of groovy light? All you\u2019ll need is to dress up in black (head to toe!) and buy a bunch of glow sticks! Stick them to the clothes using sellotape, in the shape of a stick man. Make sure to crack the sticks before sticking them on (this is technically a last-minute costume), and once you\u2019re ready to go, boogie on down the street with your colourful outfit!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ghostbusters Costume!<\/strong> \u2013 Now, dressing up as the actual Ghostbusters isn\u2019t entirely quirky; it\u2019s a classic film! But the Marshmallow Man is pretty quirky and, dare I say, cute. Soft and squidgy, it\u2019s a fab costume!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Edward Scissorhands<\/strong> \u2013 Fans of Tim Burton and Edward Scissorhands unite!

So, the only question is, w<em>hat&#8217;s your favourite film?<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Minnie Mouse or Mickey Mouse <\/strong>&#8211; You can go as their original characters, or you can make them a bit spooky with makeup or face paint. Maybe they\u2019re ghosts now or showing some bones? Facepaint and creativity can make the most amazing costumes!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marge Simpson<\/strong> \u2013 The famous yellow family that we all know and love. With so many characters from the show, you could dress up as anyone! But how often can you dress up as someone with BIG hair? You can make her big blue hair using plastic bottles stuck on top of one another, wear a green dress and red pearls and paint yourself yellow!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cruella De Vil <\/strong>&#8211; Whether this is for your kids or for you, a white and black dress and wig are a must! Then add a red belt, red shoes, and maybe something spotty to complete the outfit. If you have a Dalmatian dog, then you\u2019ve hit the jackpot. If not, you could get a teddy and hold it around with you. Or get a pumpkin trick-or-treat bucket and customise it to be black and white with spots!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mirabel from Encanto<\/strong> \u2013 Everyone loves Encanto, right? With its colourful and vibrant storyline, incredible songs and lovable characters! Well, you can score a Mirabel costume this year for Halloween! And channel your inner goodness while singing about your family!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<h2>Famous People Halloween Costumes<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;]\t<div id=\"thb-image-6abebe7cc14cb\" class=\"caption-style1  alignleft   thb_image_link wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"thb-image-inner size_100\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"910\" height=\"599\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"thb_image   attachment-full thb-lazyload lazyload\" alt=\"taylor swift in a purple sequin playsuit\" title=\"image00008\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image00008.png\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image00008.png 910w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image00008-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image00008-768x506.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image00008-370x244.png 370w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image00008-800x527.png 800w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image00008-20x13.png 20w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image00008-185x122.png 185w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image00008-740x487.png 740w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image00008-400x263.png 400w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image00008-73x48.png 73w\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taylor Swift<\/strong> \u2013 We can&#8217;t think of a better ICON to go as for Halloween this year than the Queen of Pop herself!
