I have been planning the kidlets’ Halloween costumes for MONTHS — deciding way back in FEBRUARY that we would play with a Dr. Seuss costume theme. Or, more specifically . . . Barney Kneeknuckles (who will be a whopping 2.5 months at Halloween) will be the Cat in the Hat and the two older Kidlets will be Thing 1 and Thing 2.
It’s perfect.
Last year, for the Little Lady and Mr. Boy, I made the majority of their costumes — they were supposed to be Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy (from a children’s book series), but everyone thought Mr. Boy was a GIRL bumblebee! Even with the ‘stache we drew on his face, we still heard (over and over), “What a cute little girl!”
(grumble, grumble, grumble)
With three costumes on the docket this Halloween, I have been utilizing Pinterest (the ultimate time-waster) to find tips, tricks and tutorials for Dr. Seuss costumes. I picked up all of my supplies this weekend … now just to make everything!

You kid looks very lovely and cute as a bumblebee. The small girl in pink dress looks very adorable. All the costume ideas are very interesting and I may use one or two for my kids too.
I try to alternate making and buying for each kid each year. Last year I bought Q his Batman costume and made an adorable Strawberry Shortcake for Z. So this year, it was Q’s turn for the homemade ensemble…. but he wanted a store bought Wolverine (despite the fact that he has NEVER seen an X-Men show of any kind. Go figure.). So I’ll be making a Hello Kitty costume for Z. I think it is going to be super cute!
Oooo — PLEASE share when you finish. My daughter LOVES Hello Kitty.
Those are great! I love the peacock, so adorable!
My little guy is obsessed with Buzz so he is going as Buzz, these are great costume ideas!
These are such cute ideas – I love them!
I love the peacock! How cute.
Great ideas!! I thing that most important is to be innovative and different and of course make you child feel SPECIAL. Because she-he is waiting a whole year for this day.:)
I am not making their costumes. That would be disastrous! Heck, I don’t even know what they are going to be LOL!
I love the Audrey Hepburn one. TOO CUTE!
