You’ve probably seen the classic Halloween costume where the husband is the hunter and the wife is the deer. It’s always a big hit because your hubby’s never opposed to dressing in camo!

And since he already owns everything he needs to be the hunter, you’re at least 50% of the way there. Just put on some brown clothes or faux fur, get yourself a pair of antlers, apply your deer makeup (using a tutorial video if needed), and you’re all set!

But what about the kids?

Here are some fun DIY hunting and fishing costumes that the whole family can appreciate!

And be sure to check out the last photo!

It’s another husband and wife costume combo that’s sure to get a big laugh!

How cute is this? Any Power Wheels would work here, or if you have an older kid, you can put their animal in a wagon as the deer cart.

This is so creative! We’ve all seen kids dressed as a fisherman or a fish, but who would’ve thought to be the bucket of worms?
