Colorful & Cute! How to Make Easy M&M Costumes for Kids

When you are running a daycare, you have to be creative with budget. With prices of Halloween costumes and at full capacity, I had to think outside the box. I also wanted it to be a group costume so my assistants could also dress up like the kids. It just happened to be that I had a few assistans and quite a few kids whose names started with the letter "M". So of course, dressing up as M&Ms was the perfect solution! Not only was it an affordable DIY costume, it was an activity for the kids because they got to paint it!
