- WITCH: Make a pointed hat out of black posterboard. Decorate with star stickers. Braid your child´s hair overnight. Let braids loose in the morning so hair will be frizzy. With a black makeup pencil add freckles or a wart. Have your child wear an orange t-shirt, a black skirt and bright colored tights that don´t match.
- PIRATE: Make an eye patch with yarn and a piece of black construction paper. Have your child wear a striped shirt and dark pants or shorts. (Even better? Cut pants that don´t fit anymore just below the knee). Tie a bandanna on your child´s head. Girl pirates? Add a side braid for a final touch.
- GYPSY: Simple! Oversized blouse, long skirt (they can use your own) and lots of necklaces, rings and bracelets. A bandanna or handkerchief on head is a great touch, too.
- VAMPIRE: Have them wear all black. If you have an old black cape, tie it around their back. If not, a black tablecloth, piece of cloth or black sheet will do. Even simpler? One of your black coats or jackets. With a black makeup pencil mark their eyebrows, a little white powder for the face, and even some red lipstick to paint "blood spots" down their chin.
- CLOWN: Clothes that don´t match. Anything they want, as long as it doesn´t match! Add a funny hat, scarf or big bowtie made from tissue paper or cloth. If you have a wig, let them use it. Add funny makeup around the face, eyes and cheeks. (Some ideas, draw lines, hearts, circles, etc.) Paint nose red.
- GHOST: Don´t forget the ever famous ghost in the white sheet. Use one of your old sheets and carefully cut out holes for the eyes.
HAPPY TRICK OR TREATING!
