Halloween Made Special with Homemade Costumes & Laffy Taffy

by Chris Cate

Halloween is one of the best holidays of the year. For all of the talk about tricks, it is almost 100% treats.

Candy is the most popular treat, but the greatest treat for me is spending time with my kids. I love encouraging their imagination when they choose what to be for Halloween. I love walking through the neighborhood trick-or-treating with them. And I love eating their candy when they go to sleep. (Shhh. Don’t tell them.)

This year, my daughter and I did something we’ve never done before. We made homemade costumes. Not only was it fun, it also provided great family time for us. The idea was sparked by a campaign this year by Laffy Taffy that encourages families to get crafty and make costumes with supplies found around the house.

We chose to make spelling bee costumes and all we needed was:

  • Yellow Shirt
  • Black Pants
  • Black Fabric Paint
  • Black Marker
  • Cardboard
  • Yellow Yarn

You can watch how we did it here:
