We’re all for simple and intentional around here when it comes to holidays. In an effort to spend more time connecting and having fun, preferably outside and/or adventuring, we opt for easy, not fussy.
For Halloween, with ideas in mind, we often hit up our local consignment stores and thrift shops, and browse our neighborhood parenting network for costumes. Last year for Georgia’s costume, we did things a little differently though.
We live in Seattle. Chances are, we’re going to be presented with some precipitation on Halloween. At the very least, even if it doesn’t rain, there will be some left over puddles from when it did a day or two before. So rather than have to put rain gear over her costume for trick or treating, we turned her rain gear into a costume!
Rainy Weather Yellow Duckling Costume
Here’s our simple rainy weather or “outdoor family” friendly yellow duckling costume. The first listing for each item was what we actually used, but obviously, there are endless ways (and brands) to style your adorable duckling.
-
Yellow Rain Suit
-
Yellow or Orange Rain Boots
-
Duck Hat
- Handmade Crochet from Brooksie and Cas on Etsy: It was very important that we could tie the hat at the chin! It was much easier to keep the hat on her head this way.
- Hand knit beanie from Sassafrass2 on Etsy
-
Bonus: Duck Quacker!
- We retrieved one of our “quackers” from a recent “Ride the Ducks” experience here in Seattle. Come to think of it, Georgia’s reaction to that quacker (she loved it so much) may have even been part of the inspiration for the costume!
- Quackers are also available on Amazon

Love your idea of a costume from items on hand or from thrift shops.
Comfortable, practical and earth friendly!
