Our Experience Making Our Halloween Costumes

As a mother I always try to do my best to show how and allow my kids to be creative. I think making Halloween costumes is a great way to do it. I just love the whole process of deciding what they want to be and then picking the materials for the costume.

DIY Halloween Costumes doesn’t have to look all fancy and perfect. It’s all in the IDEA, so allow your children to be the creators:
