Or how about a hiker? Just add a backpack filled with their favorite toys, and they're ready to explore the great outdoors (or at least the neighborhood).

Kids love playing with their food, so why not let them dress up as their favorite treat? A pizza slice costume is as simple as drawing a red circle on a yellow shirt and adding some green construction paper for the pepperoni. Yum!
And let's not forget the classic bubble costume. Just blow up some balloons, attach them to a long string, and voila! Your little one is a bubble ready to pop with fun.

And if you've got a spider lover, grab some black clothes, draw some legs with fabric paint, and add a cute spider ring. They'll be web-slinging in no time!
Heroes Among Us
Who doesn't love a superhero? With a red shirt, a blue towel for a cape, and a makeshift 'S' on their chest, your kid can be Superman or Supergirl in a flash. Add a mask and they're ready to save the day!
