Unique Halloween Baby and Toddler Costumes

So you've taken your child out for trick or treating for Halloween, and discovered that there are ten other children wearing exactly the same costume. What's a parent to do? Here are some unique homemade Halloween costumes which will make your baby or toddler stand out from the crowd.

Food Baby and Toddler Costumes

Homemade Baby Burrito Halloween Costume

Decorate a dark brown shirt with fabric paint. Use red for hot sauce, yellow for cheese, green for lettuce and white for sour cream. Put the shirt on, then wrap a light tan or white blanket around the body of your baby or toddler. Pin at the front with safety pins. Finish off the costume by placing a little bit of green yarn or shredded tissue paper on his head to indicate extra lettuce.

Homemade Macaroni and Cheese Halloween Costume

Get a bright yellow shirt for your baby or toddler. Put a little orange fabric paint on the shirt at random. Then take some styrofoam packing peanuts into a well ventilated area and spray-paint them yellow. Add dabs of orange with craft paint. Attach them to the shirt with hot glue. Hot glue some of these to an old hat or cap. Also consider putting some on a pair of old shoes.

Homemade Hot Dog Halloween Costume

Start with a hooded brown sweatshirt or jacket. Then get a large piece of orange felt or foam. Use red and yellow felt or foam strips, or red and yellow craft paint to create mustard and ketchup strips on the orange foam. Apply this with tape or glue. Finish the costume off by dressing your baby or toddler in brown pants and shoes.

Homemade Pez Dispenser Costume

For this costume, you'll need a long, slender cardboard box. Cut holes in the box where your toddler's arms should be. Paint the box any color you like, and mark the side with the Pez logo. The head can be just about anything you want. You could create a mask which looks like Spiderman, a dog or a cat, a monkey, Mickey or Minnie mouse, Darth Vader, Snoopy, Kermit the Frog or Daffy Duck. Get creative; the sky's the limit!
