Halloween is going to be here almost before you can say, BOO!, three times fast. At our house we’re up to our Halloween eyeballs in costume plans. It’s a tradition! We’ve been making Halloween costumes for nearly 40 years now. Our grand kids have helped design their own new creations some years. And sometimes they’ve chosen to wear costumes from Halloweens past. We still have final decisions to make with Kennedy this season. But other than that, we’re ready to go. Are you ready for the Halloween? We’re sharing a variety of the Best 40 DIY Halloween Costumes for Kids. Grab your supplies and get your Halloween on!
