I have 3 yr old twins, a boy and a girl. I want to dress them with the same theme for Halloween. I need ideas for costumes. I want them going as something unusual, not something that every other kid is going as. Last year they were Dorthy and the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz. Come on ladies, I need your help!!!
How about Woody and Jessie from Toy Story (1,2,3)? That would be cute and pretty easy to put together.
Good luck!
My boy/girl are 2yrs apart, but they have been Woody & Jesse (cowboy/girl form original Toy Story) football player and cheerleader. Like someone else mentioned, you could do superman and wonderwoman, and I also thought of salt/pepper shakers. you could dress as another holiday for Halloween, like Santa Claus and Christmas tree or present.
crayons (different colors), ketchup/mustard, oreo/millk, caterpillar/butterfly (from the book The Very Hungary Caterpillar)...

pebbles and bam-bam! lol. or one can be a jar of peanut butter and the other can be a jar of jelly? a spider and a lady bug?
when my twin brother and i were little my mom dressed us as two peas in a pod!
wow so many great ideas and all great! If you're not creative Old Navy has costumes for 2 to wear. One was best friends and I think the other may have been pb and jam.
A policeman & a doughnut
Luke Skywalker & Princess Leia
Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum
Apple & Caterpiller
A fireman and a Dalmatian.
A Monkey and a Banana
A Princess and a Frog
A Bunny and a Turtle (tortoise and the hare)
That is all I can think of right now. Good luck!
Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head
Have you read The Cat In the Hat? How about "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" -- get them matching red shirts and matching pants--and you can probably cobble together the outfit from thrift store clothes. :)
If you need some visuals, go to images.google.com and search "thing 1 and thing 2" and you'll get tons of hits. :)
My sister and I did this with our boy and girl. My son was a bee and she was a flower!
I did my little ones at Thing One and Thing Two from Dr. Seuss. I see a few people suggested this but I am telling you, I haven't seen anyone do them besides us. We just used red sweat suits and self stick felt for the labels on the shirt. For the hair I took stocking hats and used blue foam glued to it. It was the best and very warm for a cold time of year.
Good luck!
Hansel & Gretel; Mickey & Minnie; Dora & Diego; Dora & Boots;
any 2 favorite Seasame Street characters; two different color m&m's
2 super heros? Last year my daughter was wonder woman and loved it! She by far had the most fun with this costume and got the best responses. You could go with a certain one that fit each of their personalites, or ones that come from the same story.
my husband and his bro do matching costumes every year. Last year they were Jamie and Adam from Mythbusters, the year before Mario and Luigi. Your twins might be cute as Mario or Luigi and the Princess, or the Princess and Yoshi or something.
My daughter is going to be Jessie from toy story so I'm trying to get her dad and uncle to be buzz and woody. We have a dachshund, so she'd be the perfect Slink!
I also think R2D2 and C-3PO would be adorable if your kids are into Star Wars.
Snow White and one of the seven dwarfs?
Nemo and Dory?
Timon and Pumba?
Thing 1 and Thing 2...a friend of mine did it with her little ones one year and it was so cute and so easy to make herself.
Wendy and Peter Pan, Woody and Jesse, Little Mermaid and Flounder, Jack and Jill, two peas in a pod, hershey kisses, cheerleader and a football player, peanut butter and jelly...
I hope you find something you love
What do they like? TV, movies, games, toys, storybook... thousands of options from Nemo & Dori, to a lion tamer and lion/ or other circusy things, to dinosaurs, to thomas the tank engine, zoe & elmo, angelina ballerina & fireman sam, Alice & _______ from wonderland, red riding hood and wolf, dragon and knight, king and queen, etc...
There's also retro or semi-adult stuff they would be clueless about, but probably dig; I dream of jeanie/ jeanie & major nelson = astronaught + geenie costume... ginger rogers and fred astair... james bond & money penny... indiana jones & marian... luke & leia from starwars (hey, they're even bro and sis)...
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5911494/2010_twi... these are some great 2010 twin costume ideas that would be so fun!!!

Simplicity 9375BB, 0648BB, or 4003BB
McCall's 9494, 7743 or P218

When my b/g twins were 3, we dressed them as a doctor and patient. They were homemade costumes and were very inexpensive. It was adorable. She was the doctor and he was dressed with bangages on his head, leg, and arm. He told everyone he was in an automobile accident....lol. I think they may be Luke & Leah from Star Wars this year, not sure. Hope you come up with something you like.
I just had to answer b/c I have almost 3 year old boy/girl twins and they went as Wizard of Oz last year too. Dorthy and the Cowardly Lion. I'm not sure what we're doing yet this year, but I'm thinking about Mickey and Minnie or maybe Toy Story something(I know it's going to be VERY popular this year but they love it). I'll be reading your responses for more ideas. Good luck!
The two frogs from the Princess and the Frog
Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Dr. Sues
Dragon and princess
Beauty and The Beast
Mad Hatter or Chessier Cat and Alice
Sun (night) and Moon (day)
How about Raggedy Ann and Andy?
Tinker Bell and Peter Pan
What's their favorite cartoon? They can both go as cats, dogs, any kind of animal. They can go as french fries and ketchup, macaroni and cheese (lol), Pebbles and Bam Bam, Max and Ruby....
I love the policeman and the donut. That made me laugh.
are they offering you any suggestions? they are old enough that they just might. My dd is only 21 mo but when I asked her she said a monkey or a kangroo so I borrowed a monkey (lucky) and bought a kangroo on sale at babies r us, cheap. I will let her pick it that day. good luck and have fun!
How about Fred and Daphne or Scooby and Shaggy from Scooby Doo? Mickey and Minnie Mouse? Raggedy Ann & Andy? Tom & Jerry? Garfield & Odie?
I have twin boys who are complete opposites. One year I dressed them as a black sheep and a white sheep. Sooooo cute! Everybody loved it. (I made the outfits from a pattern). Well, I cut it out. A friend sewed it for me! There are a ton of cute things you can do. Have fun!
Have you tried Beauty and the Beast?
peter pan and tinker bell
here's the first things that came to my mind:
raggady ann and andy
have fun on Halloween!
Thing 1 and Thing 2
Dora and Diego
Mine want to be a ghost and a witch but I tried to get them to be a ghost and scooby doo. I thought that would be appropriate since they chase each other around all the time. Ruh Ro Raggy
There's always the M&M costumes around. Do them in two different colors. With out twins, boy/girl too, we did ladybug and a bee one yr. Look for any of the disney characters and do two from the same story.
We have preschoolers come through our office trick or treating, and sometimes their parents join them. Last year, there was a little kid dressed as an egg, and the mom was bacon. SOOO cute! It was by far the most memorable of all the costumes, and could be really cute for your twins!
Little red riding hood and the big bad wolf. Little bo peep and her sheep. =)
A roll of Charmin and Mr Whipple
A tooth and the tooth fairy
Organ grinder and monkey
I just had to add my two cents but there are some wonderful ideas here. A pair of dice or Mario and Luigi.
Charlie & Lola
Scooby and Scrappy Doo
Dora & Diego
Any two of the Little Einsteins
Mickey & Minnie Mouse
Donald & Daisey Duck
Emily Elizabeth & Clifford The Big Red Dog
Batman & Catwoman

Anyone of the Smurfs or Papa Smurf and Smurfette
Aerial and either Sebastian, Flounder, or King Triton
Jasmine and Aladin or The Genie
Snow White and one of the Dwarfs
Belle and The Beast
Sticks of Wrigley's doublemint gum.
Ugh raggedy Anne and Andy is so over done and the kids I'm sure don't even know who they are. I know this is also over done but what about cowboys and cow girls?
I saw in target one of those best friend necklaces but as a costume! How cute, but probably not for a boy.
salt and pepper shaker
Cruella De'ville and a puppy
What about Raggedy Ann and Raggady Andy? While it may seem common, when is the last time you saw them knock on your door for halloween?
How about dressing one up in red with a pointed hat and one in yellow with a pointed hat and have them go as ketchup and mustard?
Last year my twins were Thing 1 and Thing 2. I bought red sweatpants and red turtlenecks, white fabric, and black puff paint. I am not a seamstress (doing good to sew a button on!) and I simply cut out a cirlce, loosely sewed it onto the front of the shirts and wrote on them with the puff paint. My girls would never keep a wig on so I sprayed their hair with blue hair dye. They looked great!
