CHILDREN love to get dressed up to celebrate Halloween.

And even though little ones can't trick or treat this year, they can still have lots of fun.

If you don't have time to make your own you can buy one next time you go shopping.

Families don't have to spend a fortune as lots of High Street chains and supermarkets are offering a wide range of fancy dress.
