In Children, Halloween, Seasons & Holidays by Adam's Crossing Apartments

It’s spooky season! While Halloween is just around the corner, this year’s celebrations may be looking a bit different. The kids might not be hitting the streets, going from door to door picking up candy, but you can still celebrate from home! Let’s not forget that we can still participate in the most fun part of Halloween: dressing up! Perhaps the whole family can dress up together and enjoy some Halloween fun at home. In fact, there are many family Halloween costume ideas. Not sure what to dress up as? It’s time to get inspired!

1. Tiger King: Family Edition

We all remember at the start of quarantine when Tiger King appeared on Netflix, blowing up the internet. If you’re familiar with this documentary, then you know Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic all too well. Not to mention, you know exactly how you might need to dress to look like them! Check out this adorable idea from Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert. One parent can be Carole, dressing in flower crowns and animal print, and one can dress as Joe Exotic in an outrageous button down. Then, the kids can be tigers! Everyone will get a kick out of this costume, just when we thought we’d forgotten about Tiger King!
