I have been searchin the web forever it seems like and cannot find a jack skellington costume for a toddler. Any ideas?
Thank you for your ideas. I was searching for a friend who is obsessed with jack and wants to dress her 17 mo old up as him for halloween. I didnt find one for her to buy but did find great ideas on making it herself, so I’ll give her the links and let her decide if she wants to make it or not. Again thank you all!

I was just answering a question about toddler halloween costumes and spotted yours. There are some great ideas on costumes including making your own at the link I will put in the source box.

Hope it helps

Any ideas for homemade Halloween costumes for kids?

We had so much fun when the boys were little making their costumes. Being a single working mom of 3 boys we didn’t have a lot of money so had to really inventive. The old standby was a hobo: Use old torn clothes, preferably too big, a rope or twine for a belt, old shoes. Buy a cheap straw cowboy had in the toy section and then run it in the dryer or give to the kids and tell them to take it outside and challenge them to make it look ratty, sit on it, walk on it, drag it behind your bike, we even ran over one with our car one time, this was my boys favorite step, then put a plastic daisy in the rim. For a beard we used Karo syrup to paint the beard and mustache on then stick coffee grounds to the syrup.

Good Luck and have fun with this project, take pictures of the whole project you will laugh for years to come.
