What are your kids dressing up as for Halloween? I know my kids start thinking about Halloween costumes as soon as the school year begins. They also like to help create their own DIY Halloween costumes.

Cartoon and movie characters are always popular Halloween costumes, as are dark and scary figures… my kids are into anything that will scare the living daylights out of people, including zombies, vampires, skeletons and the Grim Reaper.

Here are 30 DIY Halloween costumes for kids. If your kids are still searching for the perfect DIY Halloween costume, Netflix characters provide inspiration for kids too!
