You could get all 3 pieces in a single color and your baby could be a gummy bear! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costumes-3/page/2#post-2640767 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 08:44:29 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2640767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO will be Max from Where the Wild Things Are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costumes-3/page/2#post-2640766 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 08:41:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2640766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD 5 - ballerina (perfect we can use the expensive dance recital costumes)</p> <p>DS 2 - shark (just a hat) with a white shirt and some silver basketball shorts</p> <p>DD 3 months - leftover giraffe costume.

Her nickname is Toots McGee. I hope she doesn't hate me when she's a teenager! I wasn't even going to dress her up since she's so tiny. But the Lucy Darling baby book i got her has a spot for "first halloween" so i bought the costume when I saw it go on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costumes-3/page/2#post-2640680 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 21:00:44 +0000 anonysquire 2640680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had horrible luck receiving our actual Halloween costumes in the mail :( so it's onto plan b!!! </p> [attach=1857/16/ofh9l8.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costumes-3/page/2#post-2640353 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 15:29:34 +0000 JenGirl 2640353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: That is a great banana!</p> <p>My son is going to be Oscar the Grouch, I'm going to be Big Bird and my husband will be Cookie Monster. </p> <p>For Oscar the Grouch, I just bough green pants and a sweatshirt, I had a coworker make a green knit hat with eyes on top, and I'm making a trashcan out of hot/cold bag liners that I'll put on suspenders.</p> <p>For Cookie Monster, we just bough a blue sweatsuit and had the same coworker make a blue hat with eyes and I still need to make some fabric cookies that I'm going to stick onto some gloves.</p> <p>For Big Bird, I found a yellow skirt and top at Goodwill, I bought orange tights, that I'll paint pink stripes on, and I'm making a yellow feather headband thingy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costumes-3/page/2#post-2640284 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 13:28:09 +0000 csross217 2640284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 6 months and is going to be a cabbage patch kid!

If you can find a yellow hoodie sweater and glue a little black stem on top of the hood, a cream colored shirt, and find some leggings in yellow, brown, or black it could be super easy. </p> <p>Also there's this: The 4-6 size might work because the sizing runs small. </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rasta-Imposta-Lightweight-Childrens-Costume/dp/B002IREYJG/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1476814779&#038;sr=1-1&#038;nodeID=14194752011&#038;keywords=banana%2Bcostume&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Rasta-Imposta-Lightweight-Childrens-Costume/dp/B002IREYJG/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1476814779&#038;sr=1-1&#038;nodeID=14194752011&#038;keywords=banana%2Bcostume&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1</a></p> <p>ETA: I know they run small because we got my son a costume from that brand recently.

Costume making is not my strong suit. Recycling used clothes and online costumes is how I roll until I can up my maker skills.

Instead, we're flipping it, and DD1 is going to be the dalmatian, but she thinks she's being Marshall from Paw Patrol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costumes-3#post-2638229 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 06:58:44 +0000 OhCaptain 2638229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is going as a cat ($5 carters costume found at the consignment store) and my son (he's 4) has requested to be a speed limit sign.

The only banana costume I can find for toddlers is going to cost $60. I want him to be happy but I don't want to spend that much money, especially when I already have a dragon and lion costume for him to pick from!

He wore it this weekend for a trick-or-treat event in our downtown. Everyone was commenting on it and singing the Paw Patrol song when he walked by, and he was eating it up, strutting all over town!! The little ears on the hat flop when he runs and it's amazing - I have to try to get it on video!</p> <p>I got A a crocheted Skye hat on Etsy. Then she'll just use it as her winter hat, too. </p>
