Once again, it's that time of year when kids busily dress up into a variety of costumes and go from one door to another knocking "Trick or treat!" Yes, it is Halloween once more and surely, as early as now, children are excitedly planning their different ideas for their Halloween costumes. Now, Halloween may be a time for scare but likewise, it is also a time for fun and pranks. So instead of scaring your kids way to trick or treat, why don't you get them, or better yet, make them a funny costume they can wear. Not only will it help you save some bucks, it will also cater to your creative instincts and would also add more fun and laughs in your kids' experience. To help you out with those funny Halloween costume ideas, here are some tips you can use.

For this Halloween, you might want to have your kids to have a yummy or healthy look so you can go for vegetable or fruit-inspired costumes. The variety of choices you can go for are endless, from carrots, to pumpkins, which are popular this season, to grapes and more.

For a carrot-inspired costume that is very easy to make, all you need are some orange felt, an orange ski cap, and some glue and scissors. The steps are relatively simple. First, you cut the orange felt into a size that can fit your kid's physique. You can fit the felt by wrapping it around your kid then glue the side together. Mark a spot for armholes then cut them. Then, have your kid wear the orange ski cap to complete the look of a carrot stick.

Another easy-to make costume is one inspired by grapes. You need to have green or purple sweats, or long sleeves and pants of the same color will do, green or purple balloons, some safety pins, glue, purple or green paint and a piece of green felt. Using fabric and balloons of the same color, what you need to do is to pin the balloons into the fabric in a triangular shape. You can have decreasing number of balloons as you go down a layer. When you're done, take the piece of felt and make it into a hat. It will be best to glue the sides together to secure them in shape. Then, for the final touch, paint your kids face with the same color as the balloons.

For a classic funny choice, you can also have your child go as a jack-in-the-box. Color your child's white. You can use white powder or make-up. Then paint the typical clown's face over it using dark makeup. You can give the child a wig or a funny headdress then let him wear clothes in bright color. Have a box painted in bright colors. You can choose any design you want. Cut a hole at the middle that would fit your child's waist. Put together the entire ensemble and you'll have yourself a walking jack-in-the-box.
