Biblically Inspired Halloween Costumes

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)

    My friend said she had put her son in a frog costume with a sign that read, “Let my people go!” One of the plagues on Egypt!

    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!

    Henry James once said, “Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.” And in honor of God’s best act of kindness in sending JESUS to the world, today I am sharing my top 6 favorite Christ-centered Christmas Acts of Kindness  #ontheblog ! ❤️❤️ ALSO Baby Zion is excited to tell you that we are partnering with  @zonderkidz  to give away TWO copies of the brand new  @thebeginnersbible  special Gift Edition to one amazing winner - one Bible to keep and one to give

    Ryan is outside hanging Christmas lights and the boys are hiding “turkey feathers” in the back yard for one another to find. Zion is crawling around pulling all the things off and out of all the things and I am getting ready to put on my  @spanx  faux leather leggings so that I can eat all the mashed potatoes later at Grammie’s. Happiest of Thanksgivings from our crazy crew to yours!

    Ungrateful eyes: Messy pantry. Christmas boxes. Laundry on chairs. Dirty floors. Dishes in the sink. Sugar ants taking over. Grateful eyes: Chubby, happy baby. Christmas magic actually happening early this year. Full bellies. Clothes to wear. House buzzing with life. Chubby, happy baby

    It can be so hard to keep this time of year about Jesus and not the 2-page Christmas Wish List one of our boys recently hung on the refrigerator. ‍♀️ Today I am partnering with  @zonderkidz  and  @thebeginnersbible  to share a bunch of fun and simple ways you can use their amazing products to celebrate the Christmas story in your home this holiday season! These products are the perfect stocking stuffers and are so helpful in bringing God’s Word to life for little ones. And the best news is that  @thebeginnersbible  is no assembly required!

    One of the funniest comedy bits I have heard is by Jim Gaffigan on bedtime. As a father of 5, he says, ✨ “Bedtime is a crisis. It’s like a hostage negotiation… but in reverse. I will meet your demands… just stay in there!” ✨ In an effort to make it not a crisis every night, I am sharing 5 simple ways we try to help our boys get calm for bed  #ontheblog . Also, I am partnering with  @hmhkids  to giveaway a copy of the latest book in the  #littlebluetruck  series. It is the sweetest book - the perfect way

    Ohhh sweet Baby Z. How can it be that we have had you with us for one whole year already? These last 12 months have been our favorite. Your smile and sweetness have made all of our lives brighter. ⭐️You keep waking up with more and more teeth. ⭐️You eat everything we give you - except . ⭐️You love to stand at the piano, hitting the keys and shaking your leg happily. ⭐️You haven’t slept through the night yet, but that’s okay. When you wake up, we all go running because we can’t wait to see you. ‍♀️ ⭐️You love

    So thankful that Hurricane Dorian took a turn away from our area because if it hadn’t, we would not have been able to pop over to Mom-Mom’s house and celebrate her birthday with her yesterday. . I’ve been all tangled up in knots trying to think of something to get my mom for her birthday because what do you give to someone who you wish you could give EVERYTHING? No new shoe or gift card can express how much I love and admire and appreciate this lady. So we showed up on her doorstep with birthday headbands and party blowers

    Just when I think that my little website might be winding down, the Lord brings an opportunity my way that makes me think He is not finished with Happy Home Fairy yet! I would love it if you would click the link in my bio to check out an interview I got to do recently for  @voyagemiami ! I feel so blessed to get to share some blog history and my heart there. Thank you all for hanging with me and supporting what I do. I truly love sharing life with y’all! ✨

    Jet came to school without shoes, the baby didn’t make it out of his pajamas, the boys desperately need haircuts, and we read nothing on the summer reading list. We didn’t feel put together today, but we felt the fresh hope of new beginnings and sharpened pencils! ✏️✏️  #backtoschool

    It seems that every day Baby Z wakes up with more teeth! I am always looking for things that he can chew on that are safe and cute. I was SO excited when I heard about Christina at  @the_joyful_teether  because she makes the most adorable, high-quality paci teether clips for little ones. ✨ I especially love that she has designs in neutral colors. But BEST of all is that Christina loves Jesus and makes her teething toys with His love and for His glory. Grab one for your baby or a gift for the teething baby in your world! *NOT
