5 DIY Halloween costumes for kids

Halloween is one of the biggest days of the year for kids. They might say it’s all about the candy, but we know a great costume makes the day.

The Care.com team came up with some easy costumes you can make at home — and step-by-step videos to make it simple. Costumes don̵7;t need to add stress and shouldn’t leave you in the Halloween Costume Hall of Shame, like the costume that was three inches too short all over or the great pencil costume your 4-year-old couldn’t sit down in. To avoid that fate, check out our new do-it-yourself videos for turning your little ones into everything from spaghetti and meatballs to a snowman.

Not crafty? No need to worry — these are no-fuss, no-muss costumes. Our easy-to-follow directions mean that when your child wants to be Taylor Swift, you can make it happen. Your kids will love how they look and you’ll love how easy it is to pull together!
