Best Outdoors Costumes for Kids

So around this time last year I wrote a blog all about safety for people trick-or-treating on Halloween. In it I included a small list of suggest costume ideas with “built in safety features”. And while I cannot stress enough how important it is to be safe on Halloween, it also needs to be fun! I mean it is the one time of the year when you can dress up to be anything you want! (Unless your high-school has a very informal Homecoming and it is the perfect chance to bust out a home-made Powerline, from A Goofy Movie, costume.) So live it up! And while you can go to a store and just pick out a costume-in-a-bag I give you my list for Best “Outdoors” Costumes for Kids with the hope you make it your own!

Hunter

I like the idea of a hunter, because there are so many ways to do it. You could be a rifle hunter or bow hunter. You could be in full camo or add a flare of safety and throw on a blaze orange hat and vest. I think the best would be an upland hunter though and let the little one wear a bird vest and use that as their trick-or-treating bag.

Fisherman

Just like being a hunter, there are so many options here. I think the idea I like about this one is that you could set up a fishing net to be your trick-or-treating bag (properly lined so the treats don’t fall right out of course). Or better yet, get one of our huge fish pillows and empty it out to make the candy-bag!

Big Mouth Billy Bass

Remember those old, obnoxious singing fish? Yup! Take one of the largemouth bass pillows, empty it and form it so the child is inside that with a big round piece of cardboard on the back to make the plaque. A big red button would also be a nice touch.

Duck Dynasty

Now this costume idea has been around for a few years now, which is nice because the fake beards are easy to find. Let a whole group of kids pick who they want to be and dress up! Just make sure they have the whole smorgeous board of catch-phrases at the ready!

A Campfire

Note this one will take some creativity and handiwork, but pretty much use empty wrapping paper tubes to make the fake logs (think of it like a tutu for ballerinas). Color up a t-shirt to make it look like an open flame and bada-boom! Maybe even add a stick with some marshmallows on it for brownie… err… mallow points!

Got an idea of your own? Share it below! And please remember to be safe while trick-or-treating this year and don’t forget to come by and visit us  during our Halloween Event!
