She's been everything-pumpkin, witch, ghost, skeleton, Wednesday, bat, spider
She can't think of anything and I can't!

What are you Dd's around this age being?

A mummy might do.

Druid? Cailleach? Fae with elemental face paint. Traitor if you watch the show?

Stompythedinosaur · 26/10/2026 13:09

Zombie, werewolf, black cat?

Or can't she repeat a previous costume?

My 9 year old is being “the King (or Queen) of death” in a skeleton costume, crown on top and a cloak.

DD was a black cat. Everyone loved it! Bought the costume + cats ears headband and drew on whiskers with eye pencil

What about a zombie version of something. Like zombie bride/princess/school girl

Or Disney baddie? Ursula / cruella de ville for example

I thought zombie thing too, but it's literally the only thing she's scared of 😂I'm thinking a cool mummy could be good...and easy

Who cares, my 8 year old has been Spider Man 3 times a Ninja twice and a baseball player twice, we let him choose his own costumes and that's what he wanted and I was a witch basically every year as a kid.

Annabelle is a creepy doll, said to be possessed by a demon.

Growingaseed · 26/10/2026 17:24

A china doll could be quite cool! A bit like Annabelle but less specific

Whatafustercluck · 26/10/2026 18:00

She's being kidnapped by an alien (one of those inflatable ones).

Yay could have a lot of fun as the Other Mother.

I love Coraline!
