Halloween is just around the corner, so it's time to start thinking about costumes! If you're looking for some family-friendly ideas or group Halloween costumes, then look no further; any of these will be a crowd-pleaser for sure! I’ve had so much fun creating these over the years; one year, my daughters and I did DIY Lego brick costumes.
Where's Waldo is a classic children's book character who is always getting lost in crowds. He's the perfect costume for a family of four, as each person can dress up as a different character from the book. The dad can be Waldo, the mom can be Wenda, the son can be Wally, and the daughter can be Woof. You can also do this as a solo costume, it works great when your job requires a lot of moving around.
Scooby Doo

It's the perfect costume for a family as each person can dress up as a different character from the movie: the most popular Lightning McQueen, Mater, Finn McMissile, and Sally Carrera.

This one requires a little creativity, but it can be done. My son loves building and I wanted to be sure I could make something happen with this idea. I found this construction cone costume and costume jacket for him. If you have more people, throw in a traffic light, or a stop sign.
