Final Week, Mates: Zombie Costumes For Kids!

G’day to all the mums, dads, and little ankle-biters out there! Halloween’s just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by dressing up our young ones in the spookiest outfits? This year, why not give the classic ghost and witch costumes a miss and opt for something a bit more undead? That’s right, we’re talking about zombie costumes Australia for the kiddos!

Now, we all know Aussies love a good dress-up, and Halloween gives us the perfect excuse. And while our Halloween might be a tad warmer than the chilly Octobers up north, that doesn’t mean our costumes can’t be just as chilling!

1. DIY Zombie School Uniform

If you've got a school uniform lying around that's seen better days, this one's a ripper of an idea. Start by making the uniform look worn out. A few rips here, a coffee stain there, and you've got the makings of a schoolkid who's just come back from the dead. Use some face paint to give them that undead pallor, and maybe even some fake blood around the mouth for that just-snacked-on-the-teacher look.

2. Zombie Sports Star

Got a little footy fan in the house? Or maybe a netball star? Turn their sports gear into a zombie athlete costume. Scuff up the shoes, dirty up the uniform, and maybe even add a makeshift cast or bandage to show a sports injury gone very wrong. It’s a bit of fun and adds an Aussie twist to the zombie theme.


3. Beach Bum Zombie

We Aussies love the beach, so why not a beach-loving zombie? Grab those boardies or that old swimsuit, add some sunburn (or sun-dead?) makeup, and maybe even a surfboard with a bite taken out of it. It's a laugh and definitely something you won’t see in other parts of the world!

4. Outback Zombie Explorer

For something uniquely Australian, how about an outback explorer who met an unfortunate end? Think Akubra hats, khaki shorts and shirts, and maybe even a zombie kangaroo sidekick (just a plush toy, of course). Add some 'dirt' (brown makeup) and 'blood' for effect.

Tips for Safe Zombie Makeup:

·         Always do a patch test with face paints to avoid any allergic reactions.

·         Opt for non-toxic, kid-friendly paints.

·         Avoid putting makeup near the eyes.

·         Remember, less is more. You don't need a lot to create an undead look.

Now, before we wrap up, here’s a pro tip for the parents: while the kids are having a blast trick-or-treating, why not host a barbie for the adults? Throw on some snags, have a cold one, and enjoy the evening Aussie-style.

Finally, Halloween in Australia might not have the long-standing traditions of other countries, but we sure know how to put our own spin on it. So, this year, let’s embrace the undead and let our kids have a blast as the cutest little zombies Down Under. Whether you're going DIY or buying zombie costumes Australia, just remember to have fun and stay safe. Happy Halloween, mates!

The cost of buying or making costumes When you hire a specialist to make your costume, you have to consider the cost of their labour and the fabric costs.
