20 Halloween Costumes with Helmets | Seizure Helmet | Baby

I am so tired today, I have a bad foot. So when I looked in Kevin’s room and saw him relaxing with a book on his bed, I couldn’t resist laying down next to him. He’s wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jersey today.

It was my intent to take him with me to the Acme and they give you an extra 5% off if you wear Eagles gear. But my foot hurt too much to go. I was laying there, just thinking about things and it hit me.

Duh! Football players wear helmets. Right then I made a plan to get online and see what I could do to fix up his seizure helmet to match his jersey.

I found big sheets of felt, which I think with two-sided tape will do exactly what I want to do for the day. But, while I was perusing costume ideas, I found a whole bunch of costumes that could also include a seizure helmet.

Costumes with Helmets

I am not a DIY or crafty person, I need simple.

As you may have heard, Target is selling adaptive Halloween costumes now. I have mixed emotions about it. Kind of “meh” about the fact that they only have 4 to choose from.

But, at least a major retailer like Target recognizes that we exist. And, they sold out within days so that’s a good sign. Target says they will restock, so keep checking back.

DIY Halloween Costume Ideas for a Helmet

I found most of my inspiration for these ideas on either Pinterest or at Oriental Trading Company. They have a pretty inexpensive selection if you prefer to buy instead of DIY.

If you search any of these costumes on those sites, you’ll see dozens of options that can either be ordered for pretty cheap. Or, go to Goodwill for your Halloween costume. Surely you can pick up a jersey or coveralls there.
