The Little Zebra is determined to make Halloween even more stylish and memorable this year as the Halloween night approaches, promising chills, treats, and above all... an ultra-fun evening! Just imagine: streets shrouded in an eerie atmosphere, kids all excited about collecting candies, and houses adorned in the festival's colors.

Step One: Choose Your Halloween Costume
As you've probably guessed, Halloween is all about costumes. And what a pleasure it is to search for THE costume that will steal the show! For an ultra-stylish look, consider a velvet witch costume in pink or blue from Meri Meri. For little aspiring knights, the Souza for Kids costume will be perfect! Looking for something out of the ordinary? Opt for an animal cape from your child's favorite animal by Wild & Soft or a dinosaur costume from Great Pretenders. Ultra cute, isn't it?
But that's not all! The Little Zebra is delighted to introduce you to the costumes from the new brand Den Goda Fen. Yes, we never do things halfway here ;-) Discover the velvet magician costume for a mystical look or a cute little lion cape for baby for the most adorable roars!
Step Two: Let's Get into Halloween Makeup!
After choosing the costume that suits your style, it's time for makeup to turn a simple costume into a true work of art. Thrills guaranteed!
1 | Easy Halloween Makeup: Ideas from The Little Zebra :-)
Temporary tattoos are the superstars of easy makeup. Why? Because they're fun, easy to apply and remove, and super trendy. Go for temporary tattoos from Meri Meri with an Halloween theme or from DJECO to dive into your child's favorite universe: dinosaurs, unicorns, space... And for the little ones? The tattoos from My Little Day are perfect and ultra cute!
2 | Halloween Makeup Ideas: For Even More Fun!
Halloween makeup doesn't have to be complicated to be successful. Here are some easy ideas (find them in French here >):
The Little Ghost: use white eyeshadow to color the child's entire face. Then, with black eyeshadow, draw two large circles around the eyes and an open mouth. Ultra simple and cute!
The Cute Pumpkin: use orange eyeshadow for the face and black eyeshadow to draw typical pumpkin features. Don't forget the little green leaves on the forehead!
The Black Cat: a light beige base and black details for whiskers, nose, and eyes will suffice. Add some glitter for an even more stylish look!
The date is approaching... So, what are we going to do for Halloween activities?

Do your kids love crafting? Great! Here's a funky activity to create a Halloween pumpkin without even getting your hands dirty: the egg carton pumpkin!
Cut out a row of three compartments from an egg carton.
Paint the compartments orange. Let them dry.
Add a scary face with a black marker. Crooked smiles, spiral eyes, anything goes!
Make a small hole on each side and add a piece of string to create a little handle.
There you go, an original and eco-friendly decoration! This lovely idea comes from here >.
