If you stopped by earlier this week you probably read the Happy Home Fairy’s thoughts on Halloween (if you missed it, read about it here), so today I am going to share my TOP TWELVE super FUN ideas for Biblically Inspired Halloween Costumes!!

As always, if you’re reading the list below and you are inspired with your own ideas, I’d SO LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT THEM!!  Make sure to leave a comment below!  Thanks for visiting! 🙂

 

The Happy Home Fairy Presents…

The TOP TWELVE Biblically Inspired Halloween Costume Ideas

1.  Dress in army fatigues and be in the Lord’s army! (Read Joshua 5:14.)

2.  Wear all green, wrap silk vines all around you, cut out construction paper fruits and stick them all over yourself.  Write the Fruit of the Spirit on each fruit (love, joy, peace, patience, etc.).  Voila!  You are the Fruit of the Spirit!  Don’t forget lots and lots of sparkly green glitter!  (Read about the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23.)

3.  Wear a bathrobe, look really messy, and stick clumps of “seaweed” (green yarn) all over with a fake fish or two thrown in.  Hold a sign that says, “On my way to Ninevah!” and you’re Jonah thrown up from the whale!  If you really want to get crazy – douse yourself in some tuna fish juice. 🙂 (Read about it in the book of Jonah.)

4.  Dress as a glamorized hair dresser.  Make a big pair of scissors cut from cardboard and wrapped in aluminum foil.  Stick some sparkly jewels on the scissors for added pizzazz!  Tada!  You are Delilah!  Walk around all night going after the boys’ hair!  (Read about it in Judges 16:4-21.)

5.  Wear camel’s skin clothes, a leather belt, and a dark beard with bugs stuck to it.  Walk around holding a jar of honey and a walking stick or pitcher of water.  You are John the Baptist!  (Read about it in Mark 1.)

6.  Go as a pile of salt – Lot’s wife.  (Read about it in Genesis 19.)

7.  Dress as a donkey and talk A LOT.  You are Balaam’s Donkey!  (Read about it in Numbers 22.)

8.  Wear a crown and a beautiful queen’s outfit.  You are Queen Esther!  (Her story is in the book of Esther.  What a great role model for little girls.)

9.  Wrap yourself up like a Mummy and slap on a name tag that says, “Hi My Name is Lazarus!”  (Read about Lazarus rising from the dead in John 11.)

10.  Put on your coolest spy gear and you are Joshua and Caleb!  (Read about their ultimate spy mission in Numbers 13-14.)

11.  Wear a bathrobe and carry a basket with 5 small loaves of bread and 2 cans of sardines – Jesus feeding the 5,000 can be read about in Matthew 14:13-21.

12.  Wear a red shirt with a big letter ‘C’ on it!  You are the RED SEA!  🙂

And if all else fails, there’s always Adam and Eve – before the fall.  🙂

I am totally kidding.  🙂

Happy Bible Costume-ing!

    You DID inspire me! I thought of another idea immediately after reading yours: Dress in dirty construction clothes, smear some cement (or paint) on yourself, carry a trowel in one hand and a brick in the other and you’re Nehemiah building the wall of Jerusalem! (Read about it in Nehemiah 2)

    Thanks for the great ideas! I’m looking for something for me and my husband, our church is thinking about doing a trunk or treat for the children and the adults get to dress up and pass out candy….fun! I have not had the chance to do this since my kids were little! I am so excited, thanks for sharing:)

    Being the Roman Centurion who was saved is always a hit with the boys! Or For a couples idea, Joseph and his wife (who was Egyptian) is easy to find since Pharaoh and Cleopatra outfits are pretty common! If you’re really tight on time, all a man needs is a suit and briefcase to be a tax collector. A pregnant woman and her husband could be an easy interpretation of Mary and Joseph! and what pregnant woman doesn’t want an excuse to wear a bathrobe all night! Haha!

  • Presenting the newest UFC fighter! We were leaving school on Monday and Zion said he had to go potty. He raced into the bathroom, slipped, and fell face first into the toilet. At first I figured he would get over it, but he couldn’t calm down and every time I tried to ask him a question, he would stare past me blankly. Then his nose started to bleed. A trip to the ER gave this mama some peace of mind that his nose was not broken ! But MAN. What a ride. This all came after he split his chin

  • When I was growing up, he was the one who would rearrange my bedroom furniture every month when I got inspired. He was the one who rubbed my tummy when I had stomach aches. He would tell me I was beautiful when I fretted about being heavier than the other girls in my class. He always challenged me to do my best and use my gifts for God. Fast forward and he is the one who reminds me to take our garbage out. He fills up my gas tank when I come over on empty. He always knows what to

  • I heard an analogy recently that has made such an impact on the way I view reading the Bible. The Bible is food. Just as we eat often throughout the day to keep our bodies healthy and fueled, so we must treat the Word of God. If we don’t eat, we get hungry. And when we are so starved for food, we will look anywhere for it. Even if it means consuming junk. And the more junk we taste, the more we crave, and the less healthy we become. Such a challenge to consume the Word every day. No matter

  • The one place where I feel safest, happiest, at peace. In a world so crazy, His face grows ever more precious. Very grateful to be a part of this night of worship a few weeks ago. No agenda other than to lift Him up in unity with other Jesus-loving people. Many tired and worn out, but never giving up on seeking the presence of God. Hewillrestore. Being in His presence does not have to be formal like in these photos. Seeking His face happens over washing dishes and folding laundry and trying to get your littlest one to eat something

The sea salt dark chocolate granola by @purely_elizabeth. The boys and I were talking about Proverbs 25:28 that says, “People who cannot control themselves are like cities without walls to protect them.” I have no walls when eating that granola.

  • Motherhood is kicking my behind these days. I have been texting my friend often “I’ve lost all control.” One child went to school without shoes today (and we live 45 minutes away). One child has had a fever since Friday night and has needed me constantly. One child is deficient in a vitamin causing extreme growing pains that keep him up all night. One child has been constipated for days/weeks/months it feels. One child dropped a dozen eggs on the kitchen floor as we were racing out the door. Two children need the basketball uniform washed every night this week.
