If you’re anything like me, I tend to wait until the last moment to plan any kind of dress up or costume outfit for my kids. It’s just too hard and all of the pre-made dress up outfits at the stores are so expensive for an item that is just worn for fun a few times.
So this Fall, I have been trying to think through some fun dress up ideas for my girls that don’t cost a ton and can easily be made with items found (mostly) around the house.
Let me know what you think of this list and if you have any other ideas… I’d love to expand our dress up box options with some new outfits!
Mailman
Details at Making of a Mom
This dress up outfit is so fun – grab a mailman vest from JoAnns Craft Store and you’re basically set. I like this one because it gives the kids a chance to be creative and create their own letters and postcards to put in their mail bag! Just grab a canvas tote from around the house to use as a mailbag and the outfit is complete.
Boo from Monsters, Inc.
Details at The Bump
All you need for this cute costume is a pink shirt, purple pants, and white sneakers. Pull hair back into pig tails and its the perfect last minute dress up idea.
Bag of jelly beans
This one I have seen so many times, and every time I still think its the most clever costume! Just grab a clear trashbag and a bunch of colorful balloons and you got a cute bag of jelly beans costume. You can add the Jelly Beans logo and the nutrition facts too, but I think it looks just as good without.

My thoughts about Blue Apron:
