Post Box Costumes

I sincerely regret my decision as a 10-year-old to go as an X-ray machine and not a U.S.P.S. post box. Look how hilarious it is! You can "mail" candy to it which is genius. I love it. There's a rather cursory tutorial available here, but honestly, just get a box and paint and some posterboard and you should be able to put it together. My Internet search turned up a Canada Post version as well. Their box design is even simpler, lacking the rounded top of our blue boxes. I'm sure you could make all kinds of postal boxes into costume inpirations. Send me a picture of you or your victim friend in a postal costume and I'll send you a Halloween treat!

thank you so much for this fun post! My son had been debating about what to dress up as for Halloween. Seeing as how he loves to get mail (he is 9 and has one penpal he sends postcards back and forth with), when I showed him this, he thought it was the BEST idea!
So, at rather the last minute, we created a Canada Post box costume for him! We also created a TARDIS for my older son! If you are interested, you can check them out in my blog post here:

The US/Canada ones look like you could probably crouch down in them and no longer have legs, but the UK style would be difficult to pull off!
