Transform sleeper pajamas into a variety of costumes.

Sleepers make the perfect starting point for a costume. They come with built-in
feet, making them a good choice for cold-weather trick or treating, and the
solid-colored sleepers make it easy to find coordinating pieces. With a few
modifications, they can be transformed into a multitude of creatures. After the
Halloween fun is over and it's time for a nap, the costumes can still be used as
pajamas once any parts, such as tape, safety pins or craft foam, are removed to
prevent choking hazards.



Animals

Sleepers can be transformed into a zoo of animals with tails, ears and
other parts made from craft foam or felt. Pin ears to the hood of a sweatshirt
or sweater, draw a nose and whiskers with eyebrow pencil and wear matching
mittens to complete the costume.
Insects

Cuddly sleepers become creepy crawlers with the addition of a hat
bedecked with pipe cleaner antennae and bug eyes made from cotton balls. Wings
cut from craft foam and pinned to the shoulders complete the look. Make a
caterpillar with stripes of black electric tape around the sleeper arms, legs
and body.
Action Heroes

A sleeper with a big letter "S" pinned to the chest and a towel cape
around the shoulders changes a mild-mannered child into a crime-fighting hero.
Bulk up a sleeper by wearing extra clothes underneath and become the Incredible
Hulk.
