RE: Frugal Costume Ideas

Using a set of sweats-pans and a hoodie. A neutral color you can make any sort of animal costume. Sew on glue on felt to add spots, stripes, etc. Make ears of whatever shape the animal has, add a flt tail, if appropriate and use an eye pencil to add some whiskers to your child's face-and after Halloween you can remove all the spots and stuff if stitched on and continue to use the sweats. Pajama sleepers work equally well, but you'll need a hat or headband to attach ears,

Bicycle shops give away old tubes, get one or even two or three, paint them the colors of a childs favorite cereal, example tan for cherrios, or one red, one blue and one green for fruit loops then have the child dress in all white. Cut out a large maybe 20" long depending on the size of the child, spoon from a cardboard box, cover with foil and there you go a bowl of cereal costume.

Another idea-

Buy a large balloon, blow it up and tie it, then secure it to a headband. take an old pillowcase and paint it like a package of gum. Cut a hole in the closed end for the child's head and one in each side for the arms. You don't have to be fancy with the paint job, just paint the words bubble gum in big letters on front and back of the pillow case. You could use a large Tshirt instead of the pillowcase. Have fun.
