Whether you’ re dressing a construction-obsessed child or looking for something creative and unique, we’ ve got some ideas for you!

Here, you’ ll find costume sets, do-it-yourself( DIY) ideas and even some punny options to help you construct the perfect and memorable Halloween look.

Construction Worker Costumes

Dress your little construction worker in a play costume set, complete with hard hat, toy hammer and saw. Pair it with a flannel, jeans( or overalls), work boots and a bright safety vest to make your child feel like they’ re on the jobsite, ready to build!

Construction Costume for Pets

Don’ t forget to involve your furry friend in the Halloween festivities. Buy a miniature high-visibility vest to add cuteness and safety to the constructioninspired costume, complete with“ hard” hat. Accessorize the look with tool chew toys. This adorable costume will make your pet stand out as one of the safest trick-ortreaters on the block!

Get the whole family involved with creative constructionthemed outfits. Each family member chooses from one of the following( or make up your own!):

• A construction worker( mentioned earlier)

• A construction cone( mentioned on the next page)

• A traffic light( Dress in all black and tape three circles— red, yellow and green; cut from construction paper— to your chest and abdomen.)

• A pile of rubble( This one’ s great for kids pulled in a wagon. Surround the child with“ rubble.” This could be a bunch of blown up gray balloons, bunched up gray felt or fabric.)

Have an expecting mama in the mix? In theory, you’ re kind of like a construction zone as you“ build” a baby. Tape an“ under construction sign” on your belly and wrap yourself in caution tape. Dress the rest of the family in construction gear such as hard hats, vests and tools.
