I’ve been getting a LOT of requests for Halloween costumes for teachers and also group costume ideas for teachers! Well, luckily… I’ve got a whole blog full of ’em!
Today I thought I’d round up all the different costumes that would be school appropriate and fun for the students to see, too. Some are for individuals, some are for groups and for some I combined several costume ideas to create an even larger group! There’s a few family costumes we’ve done, and I’ve added some quick notes about how to turn those into all adult costumes!
And one last note, while I tend to wear dresses for my costumes, most of these ideas can be easily re-created on t-shirts so they are more budget-friendly and/or appropriate for school, too!
DIY Solar System Costume
Science teachers, unite! This DIY solar system t-shirt would be SUCH a fun costume for you! And if you have a teacher pal who wants in on the action, you can easily make a t-shirt version of my rocketship dress too!
DIY Fruit Costumes
We have SO many fruit costume tutorials, and it is the BEST group costume because it’s simple, everyone knows exactly what you are and every single one of them can be made with a t-shirt and a few simple craft supplies like felt! Check below for all the tutorials:
- DIY Pineapple Costume
- DIY Strawberry Costume
- DIY Citrus Slice Costume
- DIY Banana Costume
- DIY Apple Costume
DIY School Supplies Costumes
I mean, sometimes you just have to go with the classics and embrace a school supplies costume theme, the perfect halloween costumes for teachers!
I’ve shared the tutorials for a pencil, sheet of notebook paper and an eraser (you can re-create this for adults by using a pink tee or dress!) but you could easily add in some crayons and a marble notebook (just splatter paint a black shirt!) if your group has more people!
DIY School Lunch Costumes
This juice box costume is one of my all-time favorites we’ve created and it would be PERFECT, along with a whole bunch of lunch inspired costumes like a pb&j costume, an apple costume and a cookie costume! I’d also love to see a whole bunch of different juice flavors (just using different t-shirt colors!), how fun would that be?
DIY Popcorn Costume
While red and white stripes are SO fun for a popcorn costume, you can also just wear any sort of red pants or skirt as the bottom! And the shirt is made with just paint and crumbled paper!!! Score!!
DIY Cactus Costume
All you need is some yarn and a green shirt or dress to create this DIY cactus costume! It’s perfect to stand on it’s own, or you can find a variety of shades of green and make a whole desert’s worth of cacti costumes for the team!
DIY Soda Bottle Costumes
These bottle cap hats are made with just a pie tin and yardstick! Grab a bunch of colorful tees and some scissors + felt and you can make a whole coolers worth of sodas and lemonades! Find the tutorial right here.
DIY Pizza Slice Costume
If wearing a cardboard pizza slice costume isn’t practical, take the concept and do it on a yellow t-shirt! Paint a brown (crust) and red (sauce) band around the bottom and then add felt or painted toppings!
Each teacher can decorate theirs with their favorite pizza toppings, and I think it would be SUPER funny to have the assignment/worksheet for the day in a pizza box so you had to pass them out to the kids from there. (Do people still pass out worksheets or is it all digital? Am I old?)
DIY Weather Costumes
Be a ray of sunshine with an easy DIY sun costume headpiece!!! A few other cute costume ideas to pair this with for a full weather spectrum: raindrops on a blue tee, lighting bolts on a black tee and cotton balls on a blue or gray tee for a snowy sky! Perhaps even a rainbow painted tee, too!?
DIY Frosted Animal Cookie Costumes
Another craft store creation: t-shirt or dress and pom poms, plus a quick headband made of felt and BOOM! You have a frosted animal cookie costume! I love the idea of doing this as a group halloween costume for teachers with all different animal ears. This one is so simple and can easily be thrown together at the very last minute.
DIY Palm Tree Costume
Live somewhere warm? Or somewhere that could use some worth come October 31st? Wear a palm tree costume to instantly bring the tropics to your school! You could wear any tan/khaki/beige outfit for this because all you need is a DIY palm headpiece to complete it!
DIY Hot Dog, Ketchup + Mustard Costume
If there’s a trio of teachers looking for costume ideas, how about hot dog, ketchup and mustard costumes!? This is another one easily created with t-shirts or monochromatic outfits.
Go even further and add more summer/carnival/amusement park food like a burger, cotton candy and popcorn!
DIY Flamingo Costume
Ok so I went with a lawn flamingo costume for this, but you could swap the leotard and leggings for a pink dress or t-shirt add a baseball hat beak and tail to any pink outfit to be a flamingo! And your colleagues could adapt the idea to all different birds, too, to create quite the flock!
I hope these ideas for halloween costumes for teachers helped you pick one to wear to your school this year!

These are SO cute! I’m having a hard time deciding which one is my favorite. Maybe the popcorn one?? When I was younger I was grapes. I got purple sweats and my mom pinned a bunch of blown up balloons all over me. I obviously couldn’t sit down all day haha.

No doubt, fashion is life and if we have to compete with the world then we have to adopt today’s fashion. I will visit additional reading to know more about fashion so that Ii can write essay on it. I prefer reading fashion blogs like this so that I can get new things about today’s fashion.

Well, this is definitely worth sharing on my Facebook! Even if Halloween is still not there yet. I’m not a teacher, but I hope my mate agrees to wear beer bottle costumes. 😅 Thanks for the inspiration!
