DIY Trick-or-Treat Wagon
Is your family ready for trick-or-treat season? I admit that trick-or-treating with two kids can be challenging, especially with so much Halloween excitement! But one of the ways that we stay prepared is making sure we have all of our Halloween essentials in tow. This year we packed up our trick-or-treat survival kit in this festive DIY Trick-or-Treat Wagon!
Find out how to stock your own as well as how we found adorable and affordable kids costumes at our Family Dollar!
Trick-or-Treat Is More Fun with Family Dollar Kids’ Costumes, Starting at $5
Once a frugal mom, always a frugal mom. I have the hardest time buying my kids’ Halloween costumes every year. I can never justify paying so much for an outfit that my kids will maybe wear once, twice if I’m lucky. My kids are constantly changing their minds too. One week it’s all princesses and super heroes. The next week it’s fairies and monsters.
Family Dollar takes the stress out of getting Halloween costumes for my kids. From classic costume ideas and even licensed kids’ favorites, there’s definitely plenty of variety to choose from. And with lots of great options starting as low as $5, I can grab costumes that look great and my kids can enjoy without breaking our budget. I’m proud to say that this year we only spent $10 total on my kids’ Halloween costumes at Family Dollar. Aren’t they cute?
My daughter’s witch costume is an adorable addition, and even comes with the pointy hat!
And my son loves his new ninja costume, complete with stealth mask.

That wagon is so great! I’ve never thought of using props like this for Halloween. Genius!

I think this is the best idea ever! She’s like a little Halloween princess with her carriage and ninja bodyguard! So cool!
Theresa says
I also have a hard time paying a lot for a Halloween costume that my kids will never wear again. I’ll be sure to check out all of the options Family Dollar has so I can make this Halloween an affordable one.
Tracy @ Ascending Butterfly says
I like that ‘jack-o-lantern’ paper lantern, Do they light up on their own or do you put it over a bulb?
christie says
Comes with the bulb! Would you believe it’s only $1 at Family Dollar?
Rosie says
I wouldn’t have thought to look at Family Dollar! Amazing prices and cute, too. The kid are getting big!!! The wagon is an adorable idea!

I love the idea of trick or treat wagon! These days it’s just my youngest who goes trick or treating and this would be perfect for her! I love the costumes as well.

Cute idea. Love the wagon.
Carol Cassara says
I can’t believe how affordable these costumes and decorations are! I love the costumes that you guys picked, so adorable!
Our Family World says
This is an awesome idea especially if you have very young kids. They can just sit in the wagon and have the older siblings pull them along. Your kids’ costumes are cute too. I guess they are all ready for the big day.
Wendy Polisi says
I love the idea of pulling a little wagon like this. The younger ones are always getting tired and pulling them is easier than carrying them.
kristi says
So many fun ideas. Love this for Halloween. We go to a few Halloween events, so this is perfect for us.
Arlene says

Mary Gardner says
These are such great ideas and I wouldn’t have thought about Family Dollar for costumes. But that wagon is just the best!
Amber Ludwig says
SUCH a great idea with the wagon!! My son’s legs are always tiring right out about a half hour into trick or treating. Decorating it makes it so much more fun!! And yay for saving cash on some super cute costumes!! Total #momwin!
