Seeking Halloween costume ideas for my 4 year old & almost 2 year old.-sisters Last year my older DD was Old Macdonald & my younger DD was her sheep.

Any ideas for this year?

Thanks!

My brother and I were M&Ms once. My dad bought some felt, cut two circles, made a place for our limbs and head, then sewed it together and glued a giant M on the front. It was a cold night that night for trick or treating so we wore long sleeves underneath that were the same color.

My son's 1st Halloween he was a red m&m. I chose red because he had a red union suit that he could wear underneath. We were flat broke so the felt fit our budget perfectly.

My kids we really mickey and Minnie mouse when they were 3 and 5.

At about that age, oldest ds was a Dr. He used his Dr. playset complete with scrubs.

His 2 year old brother was in his pajamas in his stoller decked out as a hospital bed with a water bottle on an iv pole. Easy and budget friendly.

Whatever the kids want to be?

Why does everything have to be witty and Pinterest worthy?

Until my kids were out of elementary school, I made (or put together) their costumes. It was a bit more challenging with coordinating 3 costumes (2 boys, 1 girl) that went together, but the best I did were Alice, Mad Hatter & White Rabbit; Batman, Batgirl & Robin; Princess Leia, C3PO, and an Ewok; Woody, Buzz & Bo-Peep.

I had fun and the kids seemed to enjoy it.

Another one of my favorites was (when #3 hadn't joined the group yet) was Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.

One year my niece was Dorothy, and the boys were the scarecrow and lion. It was a hit!

I personally think its really cute when siblings have costumes that are somewhat matching, you can only do it for so long until they're older and don't want to be "matching" with their sibling... not everything is done for pinterest.. having matching costumes for kids isn't new.

Mine never matched. By their second Halloween, they could voice who or what they wanted to be and that's what we went with. The more I tried to steer them toward matchy, matchy, the more they dug in on what they wanted.

My 7yo wanted to be Ash Ketchum from Pokemon, but only if his 2yo brother would be his Pikachu! My boys love being coordinated. Last year it was Star Wars stuff. The baby was Wicket, oldest was Vader.

A little because it's not a sibling costume, but when DD was 3 she went trick or treating as a gypsy. I made her a white flannel blouse and used some neon striped fabric (the stripes were actually daisy faces in lines, hot pink, lime, orange, yellow, white) that I'd bought in 1972 to make her skirt, then decked her out with Mardi Gras beads that my sister in NOLA sends every year. We lived in MI, where it's cold on Halloween, so I made the shirt and skirt big enough to go over her snowsuit, and the skirt was long enough to just not touch the ground. Well... she still wears that skirt. She's going to be 23 in a couple of weeks, but she still wears that skirt!

I've just always let my kids be what they want to be. If they all want to be whatever character is assigned to them in the theme that's great. I know plenty of families that pick a theme and "Oh guess what little Jonny. We're going as the wizard of oz so you get to be the winged monkey!" There's always a "star" of the theme and someone gets the second banana costume.

Honestly most 2-year-olds I have known would have rather been a monkey than a wizard or Dorothy or whatever. I'm guessing OP's 4-year-old has more of an opinion than her 2-year-old at this point.
