Who said kids on wheels can’t go trick or treatin’?

Trick or Treat can be stressful, though. Parents strive to come up with the perfect costume. And guess what! We found tons of ideas online. Easy, creative and fun ones to make.

This Bus Wheelchair Costume can be made out of a recliner box and regular box. Buy some push lights for headlights and some handicap license plate. Then you need some krylon spray paint (or acrylic – works best on cardboard!).

6) Firefighter

This Fireman wheelchair costume was a show-stopper at the Holland Bloorview’s 2012 Halloween parade.

All this costume needs is lots of red spray paint! You will also need black and silver spray paint for the complete effect. Look for plastic bowls and LED lights at home depot to make headlights. Don’t forget the fireman hat!

7) Super Mario

The super brothers!
