Katniss Everdeen Costume for Kids for Halloween

A few months ago I made a Katniss Everdeen costume guide that has been really popular. It focuses on teens and women since Katniss was 16 in the book. I've noticed from some of the search terms that younger girls are interested in dressing up as Katniss for Halloween also. I don't know if there are any plans for an official costume, but it should be pretty easy to make one, possibly using items you already have at home.

I think Katniss is a good role model for girls. She is strong, independent, and courageous, but she does have a caring and compassionate side. She is also portrayed as very human and believable.

There are a couple of ready made outfits you can purchase as well as individual costume accessories. Click the links below to check out pricing and available sizes. Buying a ready made costume is the quickest and easiest way to get the costume your daughter wants for Halloween.

You do have the option of building your own outfit. I strongly recommend Amazon for that. Depending which movie character version you want to do there are all kinds of options. Check out the short list below to get your creative juices flowing.

Add some khaki (HG movie) or tan (HG book) and the cute bow and arrow set below and you have a great DIY costume.
