This costume went right into our dress-up bin after Halloween, and got lots of wear for pretend zoo emergencies, safaris, and animal rescue adventures.

Hat: A basic baseball cap would be a good addition to this costume, or go for a safari look with a pith helmet. We almost always make our own Halloween costumes, but that doesn’t mean I am an expert seamstress, by any means! Amy is happiest surrounded by her husband, her three amazing kids, stacks of books, and craft supplies.When my oldest daughter was 4, she loved the idea of taking care of animals and decided she wanted to be a zoo keeper for Halloween. With a background in psychology, early childhood education, and elementary teaching, Amy is a supporter of playing dress-up, digging in the dirt, and squeezing out puddles of glue. At her blog, Let’s Explore, Amy shares her family’s experiences creating, imagining, and playing together. Cargo shorts or pants: If you don’t already have a pair of cargo bottoms on hand, grab a pair to add to your child’s wardrobe after Halloween. Our zoo keeper costume was so fun and easy to put together, and we loved adding all kinds of details to make it special.
