Halloween is here and your budget demands cheap Halloween costumes for kids. What can you do with $5.00 or less to spend on a little boys Halloween costume? Head to the dollar store where you will find all kinds of accessories for little boys that can be used for Halloween costume making. Combine dollar store items with regular clothes to make cute boys Halloween costumes.

Construction Worker Halloween Costume
Little boys love to imitate big boys. The dollar store has hard hats and other construction items for boys. Purchase a cheap tool belt with plastic tools and a yellow hard hat. Blue jeans and a plaid shirt make the little boys construction worker Halloween costume look authentic. Total cost for this Halloween costume is just $2.00 plus tax.

Fireman Halloween Costume
The dollar store sells all kinds of play hats for little boys. Purchase a red fireman hat to start with. Check for a cheap plastic disposable rain coat in yellow. If you can't find a yellow one, get a can of spray paint and paint a clear one yellow. Use the same yellow spray paint on a pair of old pants. Black boots or shoes complete the little boys fireman Halloween Costume.

Cowboy Halloween Costume
Yee haw! What little boys haven't played cowboy or dreamed of riding and roping? A Cowboy hat and pretend gun belt with gun can always be found at the dollar store. If your little cowpoke has a pair of boots, slide those on. Cowboys wear blue jeans and plaid shirts just like construction guys. Sew on a bit of fringe here and there if you like. Don't forget the blue paisley bandanna for an authentic touch.

Pirate Halloween Costume
The dollar store has no shortage of pirate accessories. From eye patches to swords and such they've got abundant pirate accessories for little boys. Tuck a pair of brown pants into boots and add a shredded over sized t-shirt for good measure. Fasten a black belt around the waist of your little swashbuckler and his dollar store Halloween costume looks like a million bucks.

Vampire Halloween Costume
The dollar store carries fake blood, face make up and fangs for little boys who want to be vampires on Halloween. Some dollar stores even have capes. If your dollar store has no capes, you can make one from a scrap piece of fabric. Little boys wear white shirts, bow ties and black pants with this dollar store Halloween costume.

Please note: The first concern of all parents should be their little boys and girls safety on Halloween. Go here for costume safety tips.
