New Kits Let Kids DIY Their Own Halloween Costumes & They’re Seriously Adorable

Halloween is a magical time when the leaves start turning colors, Reese's peanut butter pumpkins are sold in bulk, and kids get to dress up as their favorite characters to go out and get literal buckets of free treats. But before they can hit the streets to beg for Halloween candy, they have to decide on a Halloween costume, and every parent knows that's where things get rough. Store-bought costumes are expensive, and it's hard to find what they want. Luckily, there's another way to do Halloween that just might put an end to the costume woes. You can now order special kits to let kids build their own DIY costumes, and the options are totally cute.

KiwiCo created DIY kits for kids that let them create and wear their own masks, capes, wings, and even a flying saucer outfit.

The Build-Your-Own-Costume kits are available online and retail for $10 to $45, depending on which one you choose. Included is everything needed to make the costume of your kid's choice (minus the clothes kids wear underneath).

Kids can choose from lots of options, including a dinosaur, a unicorn, an alien in a flying saucer, a fairy or butterfly, and more.

KiwiCo also has kits that let kids build light-up pumpkin lanterns and their own Halloween treat bag.

And, as a bonus, many of the DIY costumes also light up.

A Kiwi Co representative tells CafeMom that every costume in the line has a working mechanical or electronic element and is designed to inspire interest in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (STEAM).

The best part is that a DIY kit lets kids put their own signature spin on their Halloween costumes.

Even among kids who order the same kit, no two costumes will look exactly alike.

Kids can change up the costume elements and wear their creations with any clothes they like. Plus, giving kids the chance to design their own costume might make them less likely to change their minds about what they want to be for Halloween every 45 minutes, which every parent knows is a common occurrence this time of year.

The only question left to ask is when will they start making these for adults?
