10 DIY Non-Scary Costumes for Girls

Looking for the perfect Halloween costume for your little girl? These 10 non-scary costumes for girls will make the night of fright a delight!

When the kids and I went looking for Halloween accessories and a costume for my nine-year-old son, there were so many options for the ready-to-scare set. From bloody zombies to the scariest clowns imaginable, there was literally something for every fear. But depending on your community, your family, your school and your kids, you might not want to go the Headless Horseman route (which was, admittedly, a pretty awesome option). After a lot of negotiating (mostly because we’re headed to a strictly do-not-scare Halloween party in a few weeks), we agreed on a fierce ninja costume for him.

Are you in similar shoes?

At a school my children attended in Connecticut, there was a strict rule that kids had to wear non-scary costumes. The good news? Halloween can be loads of fun when you focus on the joy of dressing up and enjoying Halloween fun. These 10 non-scary costumes for girls are fantastic options.
