Halloween is quickly approaching and one of the best costumes to make or find is a goblin costume. The best thing about being a goblin is that the costume can look just about any way that you want it to look. There is no typical goblin costume so you can really put your imagination to the test if you decide to make your own, or if you decide to add onto a purchased costume.

A simple way for you and your child to create a goblin costume is simply by purchasing some sweat clothes, and a winter type hat. From there, you can add things to it by using Velcro, iron-on transfers, stitching, or even safety pins. You and your child can create the ultimate goblin costume simply by using your imagination. Some goblins are scary, and some goblins are not. If you do not yet have the creativity to make your own costume, you can go online and get a plethora of ideas as well. Many retailers also sell these costumes, and they are usually available for boys and girls.

If you really want to get some great reviews for your costume, take the time to create a non-toxic odor to go with your goblin. There are many scents available that are both pleasant and unpleasant. Make your unique costume not just scary, but stinky as well. The only question that remains is if your child would be able to go trick-or-treating for two hours with that smell all over him or her.

Get creative and see what you can do. The sky is the limit. Halloween costumes are great family building activities, so let your child be creative and see what he or she can come up with.
