Dust Bunny: Fashion ears and a tail, draw on whiskers and a pink nose, and tear cotton balls up for dust. Use dark makeup smudges to look even dustier.

Chocolate “Moose”: Grab some sticks from the yard to make antlers, and decorate a vest with chocolate bars!

Old Flame: Wear old-age makeup and a large heart necklace. Cut red, orange and yellow construction paper into flame shapes and wear them as a headpiece.

Catch-22: Wear a baseball cap and mitt and hold a ball with the number 22 written on it.

Piñata: Wrap a few rolls of colourful crepe paper around yourself and wear a birthday cone hat for emphasis. Throw candy in the air when you open the door!

Smart Cookie: Tape paper cookie cutouts to a t-shirt, wear glasses, and tuck a pencil behind your ear or in your hair.

Cuddle Bug: Add pipe cleaner antennae to a headband. Wear cozy pajamas and slippers and carry a blanket.

All Right: Wear two right shoes and two right-hand gloves. (The bigger and brighter, the better!)

Monkey’s Uncle: Carry a stuffed monkey and wear a name-tag that says “Uncle.”

High-Five: Attach a large cardboard cutout of a number 5 to a hat. Ask trick-or-treaters for high-fives!
