I just thought this was adorable. I can remember peeling those sugary dots off the paper, and trying my hardest to separate the candy from the paper. I haven’t had this kind of candy since I was kid, but I love the graphic look of this costume.
Materials:
1-2 yards white felt (depending on the size of the kid and width of felt)
6 medium sized Styrofoam balls
Knife to cut Styrofoam
Pink, blue and yellow acrylic paint
Hot glue gun
Directions:
Your little one will look so sweet!

Who doesn’t love a slice of pizza? I will take one any way you give it to me, hot, cold, deep dish or thin, there is something about the combination of sauce, bread and cheese that can bring anyone to their knees.
So why not turn your adorable little one into an adorable slice of your favorite pizza pie?
Felt is the perfect material for homemade costumes: it’s inexpensive, you can get small sheets for lots of color choices, and it doesn’t fray, so you don’t need to hem it.
Materials Needed:
Long sleeve shirt
Pants
Needle and thread or sewing machine
Glue gun
3 yards of mozzarella cheese colored felt (ivory), try to find a heavier weight felt
1 yard red felt (pepperoni)
1 yard green felt (onions)
1 yard black felt (olives)
1 yard brown felt (mushrooms)
Instructions:
Enjoy your fresh little slice this Halloween!

To me there is nothing cuter than dressing up your kid as something edible. My friend told me a story about how her young daughter once shrieked in public “Mami Nooooo” because my friend, her mom, was closing in to give her a love bite. The baby noticed the predatory look and freaked out.
We all love to bite our children from time to time. Especially when they are small and their tiny feet and fat little murlitos are so cute they seem almost edible, (that’s weird, but true). I myself sustained a bite or two at the hands, or mouth, of my older brother Derrick.
So because we sometimes wish we could just eat our children alive, as some species of fish do to protect them (maybe THAT’S where it comes from), I figured, why not dress your niñito as something edible this Halloween!
First up on the menu! Grapes! The Romans memorably, at least in frescos, lavished grapes upon one another, before the main course so I figured I would make that my first costume I am presenting!
Materials Needed:
- 30-40 purple balloons
- safety pins
- purple sweatsuit
- brown pipe cleaners
-purple hat
- green silk leaves from craft store
Instructions:
For the Hat:
Voila, isn’t that grape?
