My 8 yo was the Joker last yr and it cost a couple bucks. He had jeans, white shirt, clip on tie, and a jacket. we bought the face paint and used my makeup to make him look just like the Joker in the most recent Batman. By the end of the night, the make up ran and looked just like the real Joker. It was such a success that he’s doing it again this yr.

My mom used to make all our costumes. I remember being a crayon, made from felt; and a 50’s girl with a felt poodle skirt that my mom painted the poodle on. I also remeber the Ragedy Ann costume she made me. And the Minnie Mouse. These memories make me feel so loved.

Great costume for boys, get a black sweatsweatpants and a black sweatshirt, put glow in the dark tape down the middle and use sticky tape to tape mini cars and you are a road; or same black sweat suit and tape bones cut from construction paper and you are a skelton. This way the sweat suit is still usable after halloween.
