While Halloween is not an official holiday in the Philippines, the country has all but embraced the tradition, with most establishments offering trick or treat events that kids can enjoy. But while the day is meant for the young ones (who look forward to candy!), it seems that it’s their parents who go all out for this celebration.
18 Halloween trick or treat costume ideas for kids
From thinking of the theme, creating the costume, and taking dozens of photos of the outfit that they painstakingly DIY’d, parents deserve all the applause. Just look at the Halloween costumes they’ve shown us over the years — some even celebrate Halloween as a family!
For 2019, we didn’t even need to ask parents to send in their children’s Halloween costumes — they just sent it straight to our SmartParenting.com.phParent Chat and Facebook page inboxes! Here are the best ones we’ve seen so far, and it looks like the kids were all raring to yell, “Trick or Treat!”
These Aladdin and Jasmine costumes were made from recycled materials! Mom Stephanie Chua used flour sacks, paper sacks, coins, old fabric, and paint to create the look.
Isn’t Amari a beautiful Jasmine? Meanwhile, Stefan is a dashing Aladdin!

Bumblebee
We were so impressed with this costume that dad Jefferzon Lee made for his son, Jayden. Using old boxes, he was able to create a Bumblebee costume that actually transforms from a car into a robot! Take a look:

That's Jayden in “car form,” on the left. On the right is how the costume looks like when not worn. Can you say, “wow?”
Mommy Sunshine did a brilliant job of making daughter Sky stand out using clothes and materials that she already owned. Popular characters need not be too difficult to put together!

These three boys absolutely loved dressing up as their favorite characters! Edward Matias is Batman, Miguel Famorcan is Harry Potter, and Geno De Guia is Spider-man!
Mommy Tin Parallag did a great job depicting her daughters as the characters from the Pixar movie! Khloe, 11, is Sadness; Khelsea, 9, is Disgust; and Khylie, 6, is Joy!

Maria from The Book of Life
For her daughter Ruchira’s costume, mom Weng Cortes fashioned a hat from a plastic candy jar and cigarette carton, while the candles were made from bond paper and the fire made out of feathers. She also sewed curtain laces on an old dress and finished the look with makeup!
Of course, mommy Weng had to have a side-by-side comparison with the actual look!
PHOTO: In a world full of scary fictional characters, mom Aii Martinez’s daughter chose to be Mcdonald’s fries! Her brother came as Large Fries, and her sister came as a regular drink. LOL. So cute!

Minnie Mouse
For this Halloween trick or treat costume, mom Macy Dela Cruz bought half a meter of pink fabric and formed it into an apron-like dress. She painted the white circles on the fabric and used an old headband, shirt and leggings for the inner clothes.

Nanay Julie is a Harry Potter fan and she crocheted the scarf and the cloak for her daughter, Helen. She says, “What better way to show my love for the book series than by creating a Gryffindor costume for my little one?”
