Looking for some quick and easy Halloween costume ideas that won’t break the budget? I’m here to save the day! Putting together fun costumes for fancy dress parties, dress-ups, imaginative play and Halloween events doesn’t have to be expensive, or even involve any DIY, you probably have lots of useful stuff at home already.<\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

With Halloween coming up I thought it would be fun to play dress ups with Emma and see how many Halloween kids costume ideas<\/strong> we could put together with just the items we had at home and already in her wardrobe.<\/p>\n

Costumes aren’t just fun at Halloween time, dressing up is a great way to encourage imaginative play all year round. Dressing up is a fun way for kids to explore different parts of their personality and interests, challenge gender roles and foster their imaginative process. When kids dress up they can be anything, and aren’t limited by the ‘rules’ of the real world.<\/p>\n

We put these costumes together with some of the items from Emma’s costume box (mostly picked up for a few dollars at the thrift store), but most were just her everyday clothing with a little twist.<\/p>\n

Add a couple of my accessories, little make-up, and we managed to put together four fun costumes that Emma loved, with not a single cent spent.
\nI’ve listed what we’ve used for each costume so you can easily put one together too.<\/p>\n

Carmen Miranda<\/h2>\n

This has got to be my favourite costume of the lot, I mean who doesn’t love a fruity turban! I was inspired by this pretty fruit print dress that I picked up at a clearance store a while ago for only $10, with a few accessories and a little creative use of soft toys, we had ourselves a Mini Carmen Miranda<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This dress up is perfect for encouraging musical play.<\/p>\n
