Halloween: Farmer Costume (Wheelchair)

A large painted cardboard box is all you need! My husband is paralyzed and said that he couldn't wear a Halloween costume. But, wheelchairs can make a great costume.

Supplies:

  • Cardboard Box
  • Paint: Green, Brown, Yellow and Black
  • Straw Hat
  • Wheels
  • Wooden Rod to connect the wheels

Instructions:

I made my husband's farmer costume by painting the box to resemble a tractor, put some wheels on the front of the box. ( His wheelchair provided the back wheels.) He wore a farm hat and he was ready to greet trick or treaters on the front porch! Our Granddaughter thought it was a great idea. Who says the disabled can't have fun at Halloween, too? The possibilities are endless!

Honorable mention for including the handicapped in the festivities. My brother and I get left out because of our limitations. This is wonderful encouragement. Next year!

This is a great idea! Next year maybe think fire engine, caterpillar, humvee, whatever.
