We’ve all been there. You ask your kid what they want to be for Halloween and they give you some long, complicated explanation of a costume that has never been made before and seems impossible for your own mind and hands to conjure up! That was me a couple of years ago when my youngest said he wanted to be a piece of pie for Halloween. I thought that costume was going to kill me, but it did turn out pretty cool! You can check it our {HERE}.

Before you ask your kid what they want to dress up as, why not take a gander at these 15 Coolest Kids’ Halloween Costumes to see if you could “suggest” a costume for them? I have costumes listed from super easy to more complicated. This way you can decided how much time, energy and creativeness you want to put into this costume that will only be worn once, maybe twice if your lucky. Good luck and happy creating!!
