Just choose from any one of these 34 DIY kids costumes that you can whip up in a flash. No tricks here!
Toy Story
A quick trip to Target will sort you out for everything you need to make all of the add-ons. (via Brit + Co)
Sesame Street
You can DIY the whole duo's ensemble with your faux fur stash to whip up these muppety, feather-filled family costumes. (via Brit + Co)
Baby Astronaut
While the jumpsuit totally makes the look, a good jumper will do the trick. For the patches? Amazon for the win. (via Lovely Indeed)
Donut
You can transform into your favorite sweet treat with an inner tube and foam hair curlers (genius, we know!). If sprinkles aren’t your thing, you can always go with chocolate glazed. (via Studio DIY)
Snail
There’s no fussing with masks or itchy wigs. This costume is basically just a backpack and should help keep complaints to a minimum (hopefully). Just try not to leave a snail trail on your way through the neighborhood. (via Oh Happy Day)
Cloud
If you’re looking for a totally original costume, this is about as unique as it gets. Chances are you probably won’t see another cloud walking around on Halloween. (via Oh Happy Day)
Moonrise Kingdom
These getups look great on their own, but paired together they are complete perfection. (via Oh Happy Day)
Pineapple
Show your love for the sweet tropical fruit with this simple no-sew costume. (via Delia Creates)

Cotton balls and a rubber duck are in every well-stocked bathroom. Adorable kid not included! (via Brit + Co)
Giraffe
It's time to repurpose those gymnastics tights and leotards and get creative with the sponge brushes. (via Brit + Co)

You've been dying to try this since you saw Up all those years ago. The time is now to finally do it. (via Brit + Co)
Morton Salt Girl
All you need for this one is a trip to the grocery store for a cheap umbrella and some salt. (via Brit + Co)
School Supplies Family Costume
Any onesie can be pink with some dye packets, and a permanent marker will cover the rest. (via StudioDIY)
Finding Nemo
The best part about this one is that it has the option of being gender neutral. The tutu is between you and the kid. (via Week99er)
Finding Dory
Bust through that supply of leftover crafting felt, and add big blue eyes and some fins to a well-used T-shirt. (via Brit + Co)

HOLD. THE. PHONE. There is no better group ensemble for the gang from your birthing group. The concept works as they got older as well. (Mom Ali Hynek via The House That Lars Built)

Looking to match your little man while you hit the 'hood going door to door? Jeans and Converse will save the day, and the jacket is likely needed anyway. (via Brit + Co)
