Bob the Builder Costume Ideas

A Bob the Builder costume was the most stress-free costume I've ever had to "construct"!  Last year my son Daniel, age 6, wanted to dress up as a construction worker on Halloween.  It was a cinch!
  
What's more, he used the hat, apron and toolbelt for many days of dress up play long after Halloween was over.

You can even make a girl's version using a pink hardhat and matching clothing... see description below for ideas...

Dan the Man with a Plan!

A Bob the Builder costume is easy and fun to put together.  As you can see from the photo, I dressed Daniel in corduroy pants, plaid flannel shirt and red turtleneck.  (I wanted him to be warm while trick-or-treating!)  Yellow workboots or hiking boots look great if you have them. 

I then added a kid-sized work apron from Lowe's.  It even had a nametag to personalize it.  (Note:  Lowe's and Home Depot hold classes for kids to do simple woodworking projects.  The classes, as well as the aprons, are free of charge!)

Now it's tool time!  No self-respecting construction worker is caught without his trusty tool belt.  We had one from a playset, but you could easily make one from a wide adult belt found at your local thrift shop.

Next, add a few carabiner style hooks to the belt and attach assorted play tools, a flashlight, coiled rope, or what have you.

For the final touch, put on a yellow hardhat which can be found at any party or costume store.

GIRLS CONSTRUCTION COSTUME -

If your little girl wants to dress like the guys, here's what to do:

Start with jeans and a flannel shirt in pink or pastel plaid colors.  If you can find pink suede work boots at a thrift store, it will really add to the look.

Finally, add a tool belt and top it all off with the pink hardhat shown below.
