Halloween is almost here, so we thought we'd get a jump on both it and our children's book theme week with this roundup of homemade character costumes for kids. Adorable all!
What other characters would your children love to go as?
1. Alice from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Misha Lulu Blog
2. Olivia from Ian Falconer's Olivia, Making It Lovely
3. Max from Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, via Apartment Therapy
4. Corduroy from Don Freeman's Corduroy, Mommy Shorts.
5. Madeline from Ludwig Bemelman's Madeline series, City Craft Online.

The Corduroy costume is soooooooo cute!
Adorable! My friends daughter is going as Olivia this year so I am going to email her that link.
These are the sweetest things I've ever seen, but Max's wolf suit broke my heart right in two - perfect!
That Alice in Wonderland in the house girl is my niece Bela! What a surprise! You should see her as Frida ;-)
All great costumes!
The Alice in Wonderland costume and the Wild things and where to find them costume are the best in my opinion! So adorable.
So adorable!
Gee, Thanks! Made by Little Orange Shop on etsy.com

Love them so much. I've pinned the Alice in Wonderland costume to my Alice in Wonderland Pinterst Board.
My 1 year old daughter and I are going as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.
I'm making a cardboard wolf head and wearing her on my back in her little red riding hood cape.
Should have pictures up soon here here
