I randomly came across a picture today of a fantastic
Halloween costume that includes a wheelchair.
I was so excited about the find (I’m kind of a Star Wars geek), that I
immediately posted it to a parents group I belong to on Facebook. Meanwhile, I got to thinking about other
possibilities for costumes that include wheelchairs.
With Halloween just about a month away, it’s
a good time to start working on costumes, especially if they’re going to be
complicated or require a little construction (last year I waited waaaaaay too
late to create a Paper Mache Yoda mask for my son who told me he wanted to be
Yoda way back in August). I’m determined
to get an early start on the costumes this year so I’m not scrambling at the
list minute or spending a lot more money than I had planned on.
While my kids don’t utilize a wheelchair regularly, I know a
lot of families who do. I thought it
would be fun to go through pictures of wheelchair costumes and post as many as
I could find in one spot. Maybe the
pictures will inspire you. I’ve tried to
include links to the websites where I found them, especially if they included
instructions on how they created them. I
love this time of year! I’m excited to
get started on our own family’s costumes.
