Giant squid costume

The only thing M wanted to be for Halloween was a giant squid. I searched and searched some more for a costume but couldn't find one. I tried to convince her of a really cool octopus one but she looked at me like I was not quite with it and said, "that's nOt a squid. ThAt's an octopus" M has had a thing for giant squids since she was about 3. She has read so many books about them, watched documentary's, and even begged and begged us to take her to Australia or England where they have one on…

This Halloween, go all out with a wild costume. Discover some easy-to-make DIY animal costumes for kids.

I wanted a costume that had crazy tentacles and lighting so I went with a squid/cuttlefish hybrid. I fabricated the entire body from cross-linked

Giant Squid The kid looks so mad at his mom (who was probably so proud of the costume that she made).

I'm gathering ideas for Halloween (yes, it's only June as I type this), and might as well make a gallery and share my finds.

I plan to have a grandchild that will want to be a squid for a little while anyways

I'm not sure where this trait came from, but I am a bit obsessed with costumes. I will spend time that I don't have to hand craft extravagant costumes

LOL, my sisters photograph of my nephew's Halloween costume, made by my sister.

Kimberly: Ellie's Dad made the costume using EVA foam floor mats and CDs for the eyes! Ellie has a vest on to support the costume and make it easy to put...
