With this cute (and super-simple) Halloween costume idea, your kid may get to hold the candy, but you get to pull the strings.
- A pair of jeans (or brown or black pants)
- A white T-shirt
- Construction paper
- Double-sided tape
- Suspenders, a scarf or a vest
- String
- A popsicle stick
Dress your kid in a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt.
Cut some paper buttons (whatever color you want) out of construction paper and tape them on the front of your kid's shirt.
Add suspenders, a scarf or a vest. Use your kid's copy of Pinocchio for inspiration!
Cut four pieces of string, each approximately 5 feet long.
Tie a string to each of your kid's wrists and ankles.
Tie the other ends of all four of the strings to the popsicle stick, for the puppeteer—that's you!—to hold.
To finish out this idea, head out trick-or-treating on Halloween with your kid! (Added bonus: Nobody will give you dirty looks for having your kid attached to a "leash" while you're trick-or-treating!)
