Dress Up in GI Joe Costumes This Halloween

You'd be hard pressed to find a costume theme that kids are more excited about this year than GI Joe costumes. Children everywhere are using their wild imaginations to become the onscreen military team that fights Cobra to save the world.
Let your oldest kid act out the role of first sergeant, Duke, who's always looking out for his team members. The young ones in the family can choose who among the characters they'd want to mimic - be it the ninja who can expertly engage in hand-to-hand combat, or the brave annihilator of Cobra commander.
Ninja Assassins
For your little ninja warrior, a GI Joe costume he'll love wearing is the classic kiddie black jumpsuit and mask. There's an array to choose from online. Just add the right footwear to complete the fun outfit - black boots.
A second option is going with the all white look. The ninja Storm Shadow has an all white outfit, complete with white shoes, sword and throwing stars.
It never hurts to do a litle background research on the GI Joe characters in order to create a more authentic look. An example would be Snake Eyes, a member of GI Joe, who covers his face completely to disguise the awful scars he has on his face from a traumatic event in the past.
The Girls of GI Joe
Got a little girl that wants to be a part of the action? No problem! She can easily become Scarlett from GI Joe with a toy cross bow, or the Baroness with a snug fitting black jumpsuit and black wig.
GI Joe Accessories
Some of the little details you can add to yout child's GI Joe costume are gloves, swords, plastic visors and patches sewn on their costume. If you want to go all out you could spring for one of the deluxe muscle armor costumes that look like they came right from the movie screen.
And don't neglect to bring your digital camera along to catch all the memories. You want to save the moments so you can reflect back on them and share them with family and friends.
