Halloween Costume Ideas for Siblings
Dressing up with your sibling for Halloween can be lots of fun. Choosing coordinating costumes will make you stand out from the crowd, and dressing your children in matching costumes might just let them earn more treats than tricks on Halloween! Here are some coordinating Halloween costume ideas for siblings.
- Kids Halloween Costumes: Quick and Cheap Homemade
You can buy a Halloween costume anywhere, but I maintain that homemade is best. Quick and cheap is even better. It's not difficult to come up with really cute and clever costumes with junk you've got laying... - Halloween Cookie Recipes for Kids
Kids' Halloween recipes are so fun, and guess what? They're not just for kids! Adults get a kick out of eating crazy Halloween foods too. Nothing livens up a Halloween party like festive food. Halloween...
1. Thing One and Thing Two
Dr. Seuss characters make great costumes because of their wacky appearance and recognizable dress. For 2 siblings, Thing One and Thing Two from The Cat in the Hat are great choices for costumes. With bright blue hair, red wigs, and “Thing One” and “Thing Two” signs across the chest, sibling “Things” cannot be missed! For 3 siblings, consider dressing one as the Cat in the Hat and the other two as Things.
2. Wizard of Oz
Wizard of Oz costumes are popular all over the country and make great costumes. If there are several siblings involved, the Wizard of Oz is a good choice since there are several characters for siblings to dress as. A Dorothy costume is as easy as a blue dress and red slippers. A Cowardly Lion costume can be made by using brown sweatpants and yarn for the mane. Aluminum foil can be used to create a Tin Man, and a little straw will go a long way for a Scarecrow costume.
3. Dalmatians
Dressing siblings alike in any animal costumes is a possible choice for sibling Halloween costumes, but for a particularly striking costume, try Dalmatians. These costumes will be “spotted” from a long way away! Since originally there were 101 Dalmatians, you can involve all the relatives you can gather in this costume and see how close you can get to 101!
4. Superheroes
With the popularity of superheroes and the recent surge in movies based upon popular comics, dressing siblings as superheroes can give them confidence on Halloween. Siblings can either go as superheroes in the same comic (Batman and Robin, for example), superheroes of different comics (Spiderman and Superman), or a superhero and his villain (Batman and Joker or Wolverine and Magneto).
5. Crayons
For small children, crayons can be a great and easy costume. Simply hang 2 pieces of posterboard of the color crayon you want on the front and back of the child. Use a black marker to decorate the posterboard as the wrapper of a crayon. Finally, fashion a cone of the same color to use as a hat.
6. Cheer Squad
Have more than one future cheerleader? Borrow cheerleading costumes from cousins and friends and encourage your kids to show their sibling pride!
7. Pirate and Parrot
This is perfect for the siblings who are a little more removed in age. If the older one wants to be a pirate find a parrot suit for the younger one (the who doesn't really care about his/her costume and is more interested in the candy that comes along with it). Bonus points if the younger one starts to say, "Polly wants a cracker." Too cute!!
