Care Bears Halloween Costume for Girls by @meganraemisson

American Greetings first introduced Care Bears to the world in 1981. Many mommas have grown up with Care Bears and now they get to share their fondness for these cuddly characters with their children. From their heart-shaped touché tags on their bums and belly badges— images that illustrate each bear's special role or disposition—on their tummies, these furry friends are a favorite for DIY Halloween costumes.

Tugs and Hugs are two of the youngest members of the Care Bear Family.

Baby Tugs Bear (Tugs) has baby blue fur and his tummy symbol is a smiling star buddy inside a baby blue diaper cloth.

Baby Hugs Bear (Hugs) has pink fur and her tummy symbol is a smiling star buddy inside a pink heart shaped box.

To create your daughter's Care Bear Halloween costume, choose from our selection of leotards in 23 colors. Then check out this great tutorial from See Vanessa Craft for some ideas on ways to make the belly badge and ears.

The best part, your daughter will have a leotard that she can wear on other occasions after Halloween!
