Pink Tee, Orange Shorts, and
Purple Backpack. If you'd like, add a dark wig, or map to complete the look.
ET phone home! While this costume is more about the props than the clothes, it's a simple one. If you have a stuffed ET GREAT!!! If not, you can simply wrap a teddy bear in the blanket and put a flash light in it as ET's "Heart". For Elliot you'll need a
Red Hoodie, Milk Crate, Flashlight, Blanket, and
Bike(Optional). If you don't have a milk crate, you can use a laundry basket.

Where's Waldo? (Or Wally if you're in the UK). Dress up in a

Glasses and you'll always know where Waldo is. Add a walking stick and backpack to top this costume off!
As a child of the 80s and 90s, Beanie Babies were a BIG part of growing up. If you have an

this printable.
