Cool Zootopia Halloween and Party Costumes for Kids

Judy Hopps Kids Costume
Nick Wilde Kids Costume
A big hit in the kids' animation movie market has been the animated stereotype-buster Zootopia, featuring the plucky Judy Hopps as a bunny police officer and Nick Wilde as a smooth con artist. If your kids are in love with the movie, why not get them some fun costumes based on the main character to dress up with for Halloween?

Above is a fantastic costume that will let your child dress up as Judy Hopps. You can get the matching carrot recorder and official badge to match right here. You can also get a version of the costume where the headpiece is just rabbit ears: find that here. Either costume would look great with the headpiece replaced with this cute replica bowler hat with attached rabbit ears. Meanwhile, on the right is an awesome Nick Wilde costume for kids. 

So there you have it! Some super cute Zootopia themed costumes that you can use for Halloween. I hope you found everything that your need and have a ton of fun.

Ready to start swimming? Just keep swimming? Well make sure your children don't get lost by having them stand out in one of these lovely costumes based on the inspirational Finding Dory and Finding Nemo movies by Disney Pixar. There are many to choose from, so I have just picked out a few of my favourites.

Finding Dory Party Dress Kids Costume
First up we have the leading lady herself, the bold blue and zany Dory. Dory costumes come in two styles, ones that make her look just like her favorite fish, and colorful party dresses that draw on Dory's iconic look. You can also get costumes that transform you into Marlin from Finding Nemo and Hank the Septopus from the sequel.

How to DIY Dress as Misty from Pokemon

Misty Cosplay Wig
FPT Womens Basic Crop Tank Top
Decent Misty costumes are actually quite hard to come by, as I learned when I was trying to make a costume for my very first anime convention back in my teens. I wouldn't ever order something pre-made, as they tend to be cheap knock-offs by companies that mysteriously disappear two week later, and I've never seen any with good reviews. Luckily, this is a super easy costume to make from ordinary clothing, many of which you may have lying about the house. This is how to do it!

Red Solid Suspenders
First up, Misty rocks a cool yellow tank top with a cropped bottom, pretty much exactly like the one on the right. It's fine to substitute this with a yellow t-shirt if it's cold out, the look is still very recognizable. Just combine your choice with a set of red suspenders like the one on the left.

I'll be really surprised if any of you didn't already have a set of high waisted denim shorts at home, so if you do that's half of the costume sitting about in your closet already! If not though, this is a great set to use. Attach the suspenders to the shorts and voila, that is the basic costume completed.

Finally, just finish off the look with your basic accessories. If you already have red hair, just give yourself a messy side ponytail, while everyone else would benefit from the awesome wig at the top of the page. Misty also wears Vans-style red and white shoes, and I've featured a very similar pair below. Why not finish off the look with a replica pokeball

Vans Unisex Sk8-Hi (Canvas) Skate Shoe
So there you have it! That is my guide to making your very own cosplay of Misty from the Pokemon series. I hope you found everything that you need and become the very best. Perhaps even the best there ever was. If you enjoyed this post and would like to see more, be sure to check out the rest of my blog for all of the best costume and cosplay ideas on the net!

DIY Velma Dinkley Costume for Women and Girls (Scooby Doo)

Rubie's Costume Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. Velma
Big Girls' Velma Costume 





















Ready to head off into the dark and solve some mysteries? Who better to go as but the intelligent and savvy, but hopelessly short sighted Velma from Scooby Doo? Pretty much every generation has grown up with one version of the show or another, and the basic look of the characters has always been the same, so it makes for an instantly recognizable and nostalgic costume. While you can get some great premade costumes out there, such as the two above, this is a very easy costume to make out of normal clothing. You'll probably have some of the things you need already, so just fill in the blanks!

Purl Women's Oversized Baggy Chunky Knitted Jumper Pullover
MBJ Womens Basic Versatile
Stretchy Flared Skater Skirt

(available in kids sizes here)
Bright orange fashion was all the rage a few years back, and you might still have an old orange sweater hanging in your closet. If so, fantastic, because that'll be the centerpiece of your costume. If not, you can pick a perfect Velma style jumper above. You can get an orange jumper for kids here.

Next up, you will need a red pleated skirt or a skater-style skirt in red, to go with the jumper. A bit of an odd combo, but I guess Velma isn't the fashionista of the group, and hey, she pulls it off. If you don't already have one lying around, the one on the right is a good shout. 

OG Vintage Buddy NERD Wayfarer
Blues Brothers Clear Sunglasses
That is the basics of the costume. With those in place, you'll need to highlight the look with some great accessories. Velma wears knee high orange socks, so be sure to pick those up here. You can replace them with orange tights or longer socks if you anticipate being a little chilly. As for shoes, red or black flat Mary Jane style shoes are perfect, and you can find some wonderful red ones that fit the costume right here. And don't forget the glasses! You won't be able to see without your glasses! 


Simplicity Hair Bob Light Brown
Straight Short Cosplay Wigs
If you fancy going all out, you can do up your make up in such a way as to totally enhance the costume. The tutorial above is a great way to start, plus it has guides to other Scooby Doo characters too. I also like this video tutorial on how to make fake make-up freckles, which would work well with Velma's look.

Finally, if you don't already have a short brown bob, have no fear! You can just tie your hair up and add a wig to replicate the hair style without having to take a pair of scissors to your head. The one on the right works well, and brown bob wigs are available at pretty much any party store. 

So there you have it! That is my guide to making your own easy Velma Dinkley costume for all you Scooby Doo fans out there. I hope you found everything you need and have a great time dressing up.

You can get the matching colorful wig and detachable tail here!

Next up we have the kind friend to all animals, the beautiful sun-yellow Fluttershy. Her gorgeous costume is featured on the right - isn't it the cutest? Each set comes with everything you see in the picture aside from the pink hair - I recommend picking up this luscious pink wig to match the look.

Leg Avenue Women's My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic 5 Piece Pinky Pie
Are you the joker of the group? Then you'd best pick yourself up a Pinkie Pie costume, stat! Above is a super sexy Pinkie Pie costume that is sure to make you look absolutely fabulous this Halloween.

My Little Pony Costumes for Girls

Disguise Hasbro's My Lil' Pony Rainbow Dash Tutu Prestige Girls Costume
My Lil' Pony Rainbow Dash Classic
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a hit among people of all ages, and it's easy to see why - colorful characters, cute but simple story-lines with good morals, and an imaginative set of toys to go with it. I bet there are loads of kids who'll be dressing up as ponies for Halloween this year! To help those of you shopping for a pony fan out, I've collected all of my favorite My Little Pony character costumes into one place for you to check out. Let's get started! (If you are looking for costumes for adults, you belong here, and if you are shopping from the UK or EU, head here)

First of all, we have my personal favorite of the ponies, the incredibly colorful Rainbow Dash! She's hardworking, loyal, and has the best design in my opinion. I'm a sucker for rainbows!

You can actually find two Rainbow Dash costume styles out there. Above there is a tutu-dress version, perfect for fancy dress birthday parties where there will be lots of running around and dancing! Each set comes with the dress, a detachable tail, as well as the ribbon bow headband. Pretty cute!

Meanwhile, on the right we have a more realistic style of pony cosplay in the style of the character itself. It comes with the Rainbow Dash jumpsuit, a detachable tail, and the pony face headpiece. That's everything she needs for the perfect Rainbow Dash look. 

My Lil' Pony Pinkie Pie Deluxe
Next up we have the pony who is everybody's friend, the funny and adorable Pinkie Pie! Above is a great Pinkie Pie costume to get you started, a lovely, silky pink dress with a detachable tail. It comes with the arm and leg warmers and the mask style headpiece too. I love the cutie marks on the dress! You can also get an absolutely stunning Pinkie Pie wig here to finish off the look.

Alternatively, if you like the more dressy style of costume, there are not one, but two wonderful Pinkie Pie dresses to choose from! The one on the left comes with a detachable tail and the matching pink bow head piece, while the one on the right has a set of leggings in addition to this. Both are available in small, medium and large.


Disguise Twilight Sparkle Tail Costume
Twilight Sparkle Wig Costume Child
For some reason you have to buy all of the pieces of the Twilight Sparkle costume separately, which is a pain but doable. Above is the tail, on the right is the wig, while the boot covers are available here and the wings here. You can pick up the official dress to go with it here, but I personally think a plain lilac party dress like this one would match the accessories much better.

So there you go! Those are all the best costumes available for your pony princess to dress up as her favorite My Little Pony character for her birthday or Halloween. I hope you found an outfit that is perfect and have a lot of fun with it.
