Halloween inspiration from extraordinarily creative moms

I’m in a Facebook group with a bunch of other creative professionals, many of whom make beautiful, handcrafted goods, so I invited them to share their costume accomplishments with us. Have a look at these adorable costumes for toddlers and preschoolers, plus check out these strange costumes from my friend at All for the Boys.

I like the crown, cape, and horse combo for a sensitive kid who may not tolerate more of a costume. With a few accessories, he can feel in control of what he’s wearing.

Artist and mom Mari (don’t miss her painting work) made this adorable monster truck…

… and this robot that LIGHTS UP!

This school boy-wizard has a simple homemade tunic, a store-bought witch hat, and a chopstick-turned-magic wand. The key to his pulled together look is the white collar and tie peeking out. Well done, Rachel!

Another magic costume: this white bunny is being worn in a front carrier by magician mama, but it appears that she’s being pulled out of a hat. Great work integrating the Ergo carrier, Jennifer! (See more baby carrier costumes here.)

And happily ever after, this little Cinderella is wearing a costume her mom SEWED BY HAND! Mom is Fairy Godmother and Dada is Prince Charming, of course.
