Shark Attack

If your mini-marine-biologist can’t get enough of their Educational Insights Shark Mask, turn it into a DIY shark costume like @magicalfindsandfun did! Slip your sweetie into a blue sweat suit, add felt triangle teeth and eyeballs to the hood using fabric tape, and “Here’s Brucey”!

Awesome Astronaut

The space explorers in your family will love this far out astronaut costume idea, courtesy of @thesweetertasteoflife! Start with a white, crewneck sweatsuit, add a silver bike helmet and plastic COVID face shield, grab your GeoSafari Jr. Talking Telescope, and head out for an evening of stellar stargazing and tasty trick-or-treating!

Wildlife Explorer

If your little one dreams of spotting lions, tigers, and elephants on safari, they’ll love this savannah-inspired ideas from @rascals_and_rainbows! All you need is a khaki shirt and pants, pith helmet or plastic safari hat, and your GeoSafari Jr. Talking Wildlife Camera! Bonus: your kiddo can amaze their animal-loving friends and family with more than 120 fun animal facts, spoken in the voice of real-life Wildlife Warrior, Robert Irwin!

Brave Firefighter

We love this idea from @readysetrico! Turn your little one’s flare for all things firetruck into a firefighter Halloween costume, complete with Design & Drill Bolt Buddies Fire Truck. Using yellow duct tape, add horizontal safety stripes to your kiddo’s black pants and shirt (or sweatsuit), add black boots or tennies, and top it with a play firefighter’s hat.

STEM Scientist

Support your kid’s love of science with a simple DIY STEM scientist Halloween costume like these from @discoverandco and @funwithfarrah! Simply add a lab coat and lab glasses (plastic, please!) to whatever your kiddo wants to wear underneath, grab your Nancy B’s Science Club Microscope (younger kids might be more comfortable carrying the GeoSafari Jr. Talking Microscope), and set out to make some Halloween discoveries!
