I ran into Walmart to see if they would happen to have some and instead found the perfect thing…someone else already did the work for me and made a fleece zebra sweat suit! I am not a big fan of most animal prints and zebra print particularly can be hard on my eyes unless done in small doses but for actually dressing up to BE a zebra, it’s perfect! Of course my daughter was content to just wear that to pretend to be a zebra but I knew we could do a bit more work and make it really cute. I had planned on finding a white hoodie and sweat pants to paint but wasn’t finding anything. This year my 4 year old daughter asked me to turn her into a zebra. You can see the costumes I’ve made in the past here. Other years I’ve made key elements paired with some items we already had to make a really fun costume. Some years I’ve found great deals on Ebay or at Goodwill and gotten a store bought costume (my littlest will wear his big brother’s skunk costume this year which was an awesome Ebay find).

Every year for Halloween I try my best to make the biggest impact I can with the costumes for the least amount of work and money – it’s a necessity with 3 kids.
