Witch
Every child wants to be able to fly the skies with their very own broom and pointy hat, your little magician not excluded. Once again, you will use a little green eye shadow to color their faces, drape black fabric over their shoulders for a witch’s cape and add a pointy black felt hat and you have a darling little witch’s costume. For added effect, add a black jumper under the cape and add some silver glitter for a “magical” feel to your child’s outfit.
Pumpkin
A pumpkin outfit for Halloween is as easy as counting to three. Take a large bolt of orange fabric, cut out arm, leg, and head openings for your little one, and sew on a pumpkin face and your little one can be walking around like a traditional gourd!
Bag of Leaves
The easiest costume by far, simply take small trash bag and cut out openings for your child’s legs and arms.

Pull out a few pieces of newspapers colored brightly in red, orange and yellow to show off the best part of the fall season.
