15 DIY Halloween Costumes for Kids (with an Educational Twist)

Schools often have themed days where creative costumes are necessary, whether it be science-related, book characters, or even a substitute for the traditional Halloween costumes and festivities. With the busy schedules that come from being a parent, it can be overwhelming to come up with these ideas and create these costumes—especially if you have to somehow tie it into educational themes. To help out, we have featured below 15 DIY educational costumes for kids!

[divider]Literature[/divider]

Edgar Allen Poe

Although many of his writings may be too dark for kids, there’s no denying the talent of Edgar Allen Poe as an imaginative writer. To dress up as Poe, you’ll just need a raven and a mustache! Hint: Finding a raven with some type of clip or wire will help fasten it to your child’s shirt.

Literary Heroine

A lot of little girls have princess dresses and costumes they’ve accumulated over the years. You can easily transition this from princess to literary heroine. There are many strong female characters in literature such as Jane Eyre, Mary Lennox, Jo March, Laura Ingalls, and countless more! You can even have your daughter pick out influential royalty from history to be a real-life princess or another  inspiring woman from history like Amelia Earhart or Harriet Tubman. Nobody has to know the fancy dress was first meant for Sleeping Beauty!

Three Blind Mice

Even if they don’t want to admit it as they get older, kids can still enjoy the fun associated with their favorite nursery rhymes. For  Three Blind Mice , all you would need is a group of three friends or siblings, sunglasses, and mouse ears!

Dr. Seuss Characters

A good mystery isn’t just for grownups! Nancy Drew is a super sleuth who has been a favorite since the 1930s, and more recently rose to popularity again with the release of the movie in 2007. There are many ways to accessorize into Nancy Drew, but basically a dress and sweater could suffice with maybe a magnifying glass or a fun wig. If you want to really make this fun, come up with a “mystery” for your child to solve!

[divider]STEM[/divider]

One of the best parts of DIY costumes is reusing things you already have around the house. To create these jet packs, paint empty soda liters, glue in cut-out flames from tissue paper or construction paper, glue liters together, and make the straps with ribbon. For those science lovers, this is a great opportunity to discuss the scientific elements of jet propulsion. For others, it’s just a great excuse to “fly” around the house!

Coding is becoming increasingly popular among both students and educators, so a “404 Error” costume is a fun way to incorporate this into Halloween costumes. If you want to keep it super simple, just create a sign that you can fasten to a shirt. For those kids who are more creative, consider reusing a blank t-shirt and apply fabric paint to design their own shirts.

Static Electricity

Finally, a way to make use of all those random single socks we end up with! Going with static electricity as your costume is super easy and can be made last-minute. Simply safety pin socks to pants (or use fabric glue if you don’t care about wearing those pants again).  If you want take it a step further, use hairspray to have your child’s hair stand straight up, too!

Minecraft has been touted as an  educational video game , and it can also make for fun Halloween costumes! With some plain shirts, black fabric paint, and a stencil cut out of paper, your kids can turn into  Minecraft players .

Adding to why they are super fun to learn about,  jellyfish use bioluminescence  to help with defense and communication. To mimic a jellyfish, have your child dress in bright colors and purchase a clear domed umbrella and tie curling ribbons (with varying bright colors) onto the tips of the umbrella.

Math often gets a bad rap for being boring, but your kid can change all that with a “numberjack” costume!  Playing off of the “X and Y axis,” you just need some toy axes, paper X and Y, and some suspenders or a flannel shirt. Glue the X and Y on the axes, and your numberjack will get some chuckles as they explain their intersecting “X and Y axes” (axis).

[divider]Other Educational Costumes[/divider]

Social Butterfly

Wordplay and puns are an element of grammar and writing styles that can make for some really “punny” costumes! For a  teen who loves social media , consider being a “social butterfly” by simply taping or gluing prinouts of their favorite social media sites.

Work of Art

Some poster board or cardboard boxes can be turned into masterpieces by gluing a poster of your favorite work of art. The  Mona Lisa  is a perfect painting to use, as you can cut out the face and “wear” it to turn your child into a pièce de résistance.

Sports Hero

For the  kids who love sports , even their costumes can be educational. Many famous athletes have written books inspiring young sports enthusiasts or teaching about elements of the game. If your child would prefer to just dress up as their favorite athlete, encourage them to do some kind of research either about their team, the history of the sport, or an influential historical sports figure.

Smarty Pants

For those kids priding themselves on their “ smarts ,” a smarty pants costume is definitely a funny play on words. Taking a roll of Smarties, use fabric paint to glue the individual candies to an old pair of pants. Voila—you have “smarty pants”!

40 Halloween Costume Ideas Perfect for Teachers or Family

By: Author Lillie Marshall

Posted on Published: December 7, 2021  - Last updated: December 15, 2021

Want some easy, funny, creative and affordable costume ideas?

I’m thrilled to welcome my friend Jess Samuels to divulge how she was able to pump out dozens of costume changes over the years — while spending very little money. Jess will intersperse her Halloween knowledge with tidbits about what it’s like to work at an EdTech company.

Teaching Traveling : Welcome, Jess! Tell us a bit about your background.

Jess: Hello! I have a long career in Student Affairs, having started working and living in a Residential Community as an RA back in undergrad. Eventually I found myself as a Director of Residence Life (teaching Introduction to University classes to first years). 

For the last 2.5 years, I transitioned over into the EdTech space at an education technology company called 2U. I was working in student support for a Coding and Data bootcamp, then as a Program Manager, and now Product Evangelist (jobs change quickly in EdTech).

While I don’t get to travel much, especially during the events of 2020-21, I do get to work with people all over the world. 2U has 11 offices, including in London, and Cape Town. While I have yet to even visit the headquarters in Lanham, MD, maybe one day I will get to meet one of my many co-workers across the world!

TT: How does an EdTech company that has offices and employees all over the world keep people connected?

J: I think that 2U does a great job at seeing the value in human interaction, especially when everyone is online.  Regardless of whether someone works in one of the 2U offices, they might have meetings with team members across time zones, or connect with someone from another state/country in one of the many social or professional development opportunities offered weekly.

I am a part of a Business Resource Network (BRN) – which is basically like an Affinity Organization from college, but for adults.  2U has several BRNs, BNet (Black Network), W.A.N. (Womxn Action Network), 2Q (LGBTQIA+ Network), TuGente (Latinx Network), APIN (Asian Pacific Islander Network), and ARN (Ability Resource Network), all of which are responsible for ongoing programming that allows us to connect with other 2Utes. 

As the Global Chair, I am ecstatic to have two members of my executive board working out of Cape Town.  While it doesn’t make scheduling meetings easy, it means that we have folks on our board offering an entirely different, non-U.S. centric perspective on every event we run, or article we post.

TT: Are there any special events that 2U is known for?

J: Internally, all 2U employees know that Halloween is a REALLY BIG DEAL. Our CEO Chip Paucek is a huge fan, and has always hosted Halloween parties at the company offices. 

Since I have always been remote, I was delighted when all of the Halloween activities were brought online — and we had an entire week of 2UBoo to celebrate — with activities planned such as trivia hours, escape rooms, video contests, pumpkin carving contests, and my favorite, the costume contest.

TT: How did you celebrate 2UBoo?

In my first year of the online 2UBoo, I decided, on a whim, to show up in costume for the first meeting of the day that week. It was just a simple Where’s Waldo Costume we had hanging around the house. 

My co-workers got a kick out of it, and I had another meeting with most them later in the day and thought it would be funny to show up in a different costume. I quickly dug a plaid shirt out of the closet and paired it with a Cowboy hat. 

Next thing I know, I started making plans for changing my costume once every meeting for the week. That first year I ended up doing 19 costume changes (see the photos here), including the much celebrated doppelganger of my Boss (who’d been there for only 1 month!). I took home one of the “Most Creative ” costume contest prizes for my version of Ruth Vader Ginsberg (no, that is not a typo).

For 2021 I knew I had to step up my game.  I took some time the weekend before to plot out all of the costume changes on a spreadsheet, assigning a theme to every day . I knew that the costume was really only 30% of the show, and having the right background was key. 

I spent hours each night downloading backgrounds and laying out my costumes so I could manage 5 min (or less) costume changes between meetings. In 2021, I took home the top prize for Most Funny costume, and 2nd prize overall by imitating our CEO Chip Paucek.

I was also inspired by the Bus Brothers , and decided to pick up my oldest from the bus in a new costume every day. It was a lot of fun to surprise my kiddo (and his bus mates) as I showed up in everything from a Chewbacca to a Maleficent costume.

TT: Wow! Did you purchase your own costumes?  How do you make this affordable?

J: 99% of my costumes were acquired for free.  In many cases (Finn, Iron Man, Spiderman), they are actually just kids costumes binder-clipped to my shirt, and with smaller masks I hide my chin with a balaclava.  Online video calls allow you to get away with a lot you couldn’t if you were walking into an in person office.

I started my costume collection when we ran a kid’s clothing swap group back in Boston gathering 100-150 people per swap, every month for almost 4 years. Post Halloween, Costumes would be dumped off in mass, and we started holding them until the following Halloween. Also, occasionally my Buy Nothing neighbors would be getting rid of costumes and I would always jump on the chance to gather more (see below).  

Since I moved to a new town north of Philly, I put a call out to neighbors, and I ended up borrowing eight of my costumes this year.  It’s pretty easy to do things cheaply when you use your extended network.  People love to help and they love to see the final results.

TT: What advice do you have for educators who are working in an online space?

Have fun with it.  Have costume days, change your background, dye your hair, have ice breaker questions in staff meetings (I do this every week!). The monotony of being on your computer day in and day out is tough, and so anything you can do to bring joy for yourself and your students is worthwhile.  Competitions and team games always get people in a different frame of mind and may shake things up.  

Connect with others as much as possible. Yes, you may be tired of being online by the time the school day is over. But online connections with people doing the same lesson planning as you, or people who you just enjoy (online book clubs are big) can be a life saver for staying connected to other human beings.

TT: Thanks so much for these Halloween costume ideas, Jess! Readers, what questions or comments do you have?

Beetlejuice

The juice is loose! With the highly anticipated sequel coming out in September, there's no question that Beetlejuice costumes will be trending this Halloween.

You can sport his black-and-white suit, along with a green wig and full face makeup to really pull off this look!

Amy and Danny from Beef

Netflix's series featuring Ali Wong and Steven Yeun is hilarious and so relatable, especially if you've ever had a bad case of road rage. It's no wonder it won big at this year's Golden Globes.

To dress like Amy and Danny, you can probably pull a few things already in your wardrobe.

Elle Woods from Legally Blonde

Move over Barbie, another lady in pink will be taking over Halloween this year. Elle Woods, from the iconic 2001 film Legally Blonde , is sure to be trending on Halloween night following the announcement of the new prequel series dubbed Elle .

While you wait for more details about the series, don all the pink you own for a fun Elle inspired getup.

Zendaya From the Challengers Press Tour

Aside from that scene, all anyone could talk about prior to the release of the film Challengers was Zendaya's themed looks from the press tour.

Because pickleball and tennis outfits are already having a moment, serving up her most inspired look will be a breeze.

Olivia Rodrigo

Fans of the angsty pop princess have been flocking to her Guts World Tour this year.

You can pull off one of Olivia's iconic tour looks with just a few key pieces.

Deadpool and Wolverine

Marvel's Deadpool & Wolverine is set to be the summer's biggest blockbuster. Channel the beloved X-Men characters by dressing up as the duo for Halloween.

Paul Atreides From Dune: Part Two

Alan Cumming From The Traitors

If you are a fan of the popular reality show The Traitors , this a costume for you! On October 31, dress up as host Alan Cumming and set out to find the "traitors" amongst your group friends.

Wednesday Addams from Wednesday

Jenna Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday Addams in the Netflix show Wednesday , was arguably the biggest show of 2022. And with season 2 in the works, everyone will want to dress up in her creepy getups this Halloween.

Yes, recreating her classic pigtails and sporting a permanent frown will get you half way there, but to really commit to the look, you'll need Wednesday's trusty sidekick, Thing.

Luffy from One Piece

A pirate's life for me! Spend this Halloween as Luffy — the One Piece character will thrill any anime-lover you come across this holiday.

Pair a red vest with your favorite worn denim shorts for a laid-back look. Rock a pair of sandals and a yellow straw hat, and you'll be dapper pirate.

Harley Quinn From Joker: Folie à Deux

Harley Quinn and the Joker are perennially popular Halloween costumes, but with this year's release of Joker: Folie à Deux starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, get ready to see more of these characters this Halloween.

You can easily channel Harley with a few pieces you likely already have in your closet, and some creepy makeup.

Janine from Abbott Elementary

Second to Janine's can-do attitude is her style. Add that to the fact that Abbott Elementary is one of the biggest shows on television right now, and you've got yourself a grade A costume.

To channel your inner Janine, opt for flowy dresses, lots of patterns and, of course, your ID badge.

Princess Disa from Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

The Amazon show is brought LOTR fans the story what happened before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings . While Princess Disa was a totally new character, she's proven to be a favorite.

They key to recreate Disa's look is going for a flowy dress with a lot of gold accessories, including some gold glitter to wear in your hair.

Evelyn from Everything Everywhere All at Once

The wildly entertaining movie is one of the best in recent years, largely due to Michelle Yeoh, who plays Evelyn Wang. The character is funny, smart and totally bad***.

You can go glamorous, sophisticated... or a little gorey!

Tanya from White Lotus

We don't have to say goodbye to Jennifer Coolidge's character just because she died. Just make sure you go bold!

Bridget and her “Ludicrously Capacious” bag from Succession

Cousin Greg's date Bridget made quite a scene when she showed up with her monstrous tartan Burberry tote. You can obviously wrap yourself head-to-toe in similar fabric to become the bag itself, but an easier option is just to dress as Bridget.

Mario and Luigi from The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Super Mario fans were thrilled to see their favorite duo hit the big screen with the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie . So, we are sure that this costume will still be on the rise this Halloween, even for adults.

To complete the their look you'll need overalls, white gloves and brown shoes. To go the extra mile, secure their hats in red and green, respectively, and add adhesive facial hair.

The "nepo baby," a nickname for celebrities who have benefited significantly from having famous parents, continued to trend this year.

With this easy-to-DIY costume, all you need is a white t-shirt, iron on letters and an unbothered attitude.

Maddy from Euphoria

Euphoria is full teen drama! With so many trendy and iconic looks from the show, there are endless options for Halloween. One that we all remember is Maddy’s New Year’s Eve dress moment in season 2.

In addition to wearing her cutout black dress, you can complete the look by creating a dramatic eye with black eyeliner, plus a dark lip.

Sari From Cocaine Bear

Some people might want to dress as the actual bear from the movie, but we suggest going as Sari, the mom who saves the day dons the cutest pink jumpsuit ever.

Ariel from The Little Mermaid

Disney brought us a dreamy reimagining of The Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey. Channel the mermaid princess this Halloween with a few items you may already have in your closet.

With this outfit, you can dress as the princess whether she is on land or in the sea.

Mabel Mora from Only Murders in the Building

Go as Mabel Mora from the hit Hulu show Only Murders in the Building . With season 4 of the comedy-mystery show coming out in August, this is an on-trend costume idea.

To dress up as Selena Gomez's character Mabel, you can wear a faux fur coat, red headphones and other shades of yellow to complete her outfit.

John Dutton from Yellowstone

If you have been following each season of Yellowstone , this year might be the one to go as John Dutton, especially since we know season 5 is the last for the western drama.

If you already have rancher gear, you are pretty much all set to pull off this costume! The main accessory to pull off John Dutton's look, of course, is the cowboy hat.

Oppenheimer and Einstein

Alone, the Oppenheimer look isn't very distinctive, but when you have your bestie or partner dress as Einstein, everyone will know exactly who you are (and be so impressed by how clever your look is).

Barbie from Barbie

Barbie was last year's hottest costume and we predict it'll be going strong still this year.

The best part is that Barbie can be anything. There's president Barbie, '80s roller skate Barbie and of course, there's Ken. So take your pick or recreate Margo Robbie's best looks.

One of the easiest versions of Loki to dress up as is the Variant. The key here is just to make sure it's loud and clear that you're a variant.

Get inspired by more of our favorite Loki costume ideas .

The Mandalorian from The Mandalorian

After being left with an epic season 3 finale of The Mandalorian , fans are raving with excitement over an anticipated season 4 and The Mandalorian & Grogu film . If you are ready for season 4, dress up this Halloween as Din Djarin for an “out of this world” costume.

To create the bounty hunter’s look, you’ll need to be dressed up head-to-toe. Make sure to have the body suit, helmet, as well as other accessories, like Baby Yoda and the blaster.

Spider-Man from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

The animated superhero film brought Miles Morales, Brooklyn's one and only Spider-Man, back to our screens. And with talk of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, a third installment in the film series, hitting theaters soon , it's safe to say he's still relevant.

You can obviously dress as any iteration of Spider-Man that you would like, including just opting for a comfy themed-hoodie.

Ethan Hunt from Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One

Last year, Ethan Hunt as he starred in the penultimate film of the decades-long saga.

The best part about this costume is, you only need a really nice suit to play the part. You can carry around a toy motorcycle too if you're so inclined.

It's not all about fun costumes this year. For folks who want to go scary, look no further than M3gan, the terrifying doll who we all thought was our friend at first.

M3gan has a pretty innocent look, so you're going to want to really play up the fear factor with some wild moves and eye movements if possible.
