Step 1: Raid the Toy Bin

A good rummage through the toy bin or play space is a great place to start. Use your little one's favorite toys as inspiration. Perhaps there's a stuffed animal that comes to mind, or you have an aspiring chef who loves kitchen play time. Dig, sort and ponder the possibilities.

Step 2: Toy Translation

Once you've identified the toy or theme, now it's time to get creative. A direct interpretation of their favorite toy or play set is an easy option. If they love doll play, they could "twin" with their favorite dolly. Or have them compliment the toy's theme. Truck lovers could become construction workers, while kiddos with a love for their stuffed pig could be a farmer. 

Crafting a costume for your kids should be fun and stress free. The best part, they can enjoy playing with their dress up attire all year long!
