Prehistoric Costumes Archives

dinosaur costumesThere is something about giant lizards that seems to really capture the imagination of many little kids. That is why Dinosaur Costumes are always a favorite Halloween costume every year.

Think about it. There have been TV shows, novels, comics and several movies based entirely on the dinosaur. Some of my favorites are the Jurassic Park movies. There is just the right amour of plot to go with the cool and scary dinosaurs.

Since there are so many different kinds of dinosaurs, there are of course several variations of dinosaur costumes. They range from the T-rex to some more dragon looking versions and even fictional characters like Dino from the Flintstones cartoon TV show.

Dinosaur Information

The dinosaurs were diverse creatures. Some where gigantic while some of them were no bigger than your hand. Some lived on land, other swam the sea and still more ruled the skies. We are not really sure of their coloration, or skin texture. Some scientists have made educated guesses based on skeletal remains as to the lizard like qualities of some of the vastly varying dinosaurs.

One of the recent movies about dinosaurs that was rather silly is the Land of the Lost. This is an adaptation of the 1970s TV show. I use to love this show when I was a kid. It was sort of like the story Journey to the Center of the Earth.

And really we have become use to seeing these images together because of shows like the Flintstones. So have a prehistoric Halloween this year!

Who wants to go out on Halloween alone? Here are some caveman costume ideas for going as group or as a couple.

We often see couples or groups of friends going out in Halloween costumes that are based around a theme.   There are some great Caveman Costume Ideas for your group theme so please let me show you a few prehistoric costume ideas to get you thinking:

Couples Caveman Costume Ideas:

King of the Cavemen & Queen of the CaveKing Caveman Costume
These two prehistoric costumes are a great combo.

The King of the Caveman costume has Big furry caveman boots that slip on over your shoes.  There is a fur tunic top that is dark brown to match the boot covers.  The shorts have tattered edges and are a tiger print which matches the headband.

The detailing is comprised of fake leather wristbands and a belt with a big bone clasp.

The counterpart, the Queen of the cave costume, is one hot little number.Sexy Cave Girl Costume There is a dark brown suede skirt that wraps around your waist as well as a matching tie up bra top.  These two can be worn together without the under dress if you like.  Sexy Cave Girl Costume b

However, the under dress is a sexy leopard print tube dress that is a little sheer and can be used with out the suede skirt and top as a sexy end of the evening seductive tool to conquer your caveman.

This sexy cave girl costume comes with the club, because we all know sometimes you just have to hit the guys over their head to get the point across. And you will also get the faux fur trimmed leg warmers.

Plus size Caveman & Plus size Cave Woman
Plus Size Cave Girl CostumeThis plus size cave woman costume will show your wild side.  The leopard printed dress is form fitting in the right places to accentuate your finest attributes.

There is a low cut top that offers nice support and is just the right amount of sexy comfort.  There is a dark brown belt that works like a corset and will help the waist look narrow.

The matching leopard print headband and boot covers come with the outfit but you will have to order the caveman jewelry and caveman club separately.

Plus Size Caveman CostumeYour partner will look like a Stone Age brute in the plus size caveman costume.  This Halloween costume comes with just the tunic top.  It is an over the shoulder top with one arm exposed.  There is a faux fur  trimmed upper hem and has a torn lower hem.  If you want this full look, you should also order the Caveman Wig, the Giant Club and the Sandals too -but you might be better off with a real pair of walking sandals.

Cartoon Caveman Costume Ideas

Yaba-Daba-Doo!!  We can’t forget our favorite Stone Age family the Flintstones and their best buddies the Rubbles.  These are great prehistoric costumes to group together.

If you are two buddies going out looking for cave girls then you can be Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble on the prowl.  Or maybe it is a girls night out as Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble giggling away over a cocktail.  It is a great theme caveman costume idea to go out as an entire group too.  Perfect for the whole family with the Pebbles, Bam Bam, and Dino costumes as well.

Cavemen originally gathered together as couples and then in groups for safety against wild prehistoric beasts.  A benefit of this was their development of learning and communication skills.  They did prehistoric cave paintings to tell stories, and we can see evidence of this in one of the most famous caves in Spain, the Altamira Cave Paintings.

Do you want to go wild this Halloween?  Well, in these cave girl costumes, you will have to club away all those cavemen as you trick or treat!

The prehistoric costumes are a fun theme for parties.  Just think of the Flintstones.  Dont you think you would have fun with Fred Flintstone and Betty Ruble?

Lets take a look at a few of your cave girl options:

Cave Girl Costumecave girl costume
Rock out Halloween in this plush cave girl costume.  It is a beautiful combination of faux suede, leather and fur that will have your caveman at your feet.

The cut of the dress will show off your rocking legs and the corset will be sure to accent your curves, as will the low neck line.  The outfit has a nice layered look to it and is great to pair up with a caveman costume for a couples Halloween.

You can order this in Small, medium, large and extra large adult sizes.  The cave girl costume does not include the club or the saber tooth necklace so be sure to order those as well.

pebbles flintstone girl costumePebbles Flintstone Girl Costume
Its a hot pink Halloween in Bedrock this year when you wear this Pebbles Flintstone costume.  This is the cave girl with the most!

Fred Flintstone’s daughter is the smart little cave girl that always gets into mischief like her father.  Her outfit is this bright pink tunic top with black spots.  It is a cartoon version of an animal print.  She wears the pink top  with her short black tattered edge shorts and pink leg warmers.

The Pebbles costume has pink wig with a top knot tied around a dinosaur bone.  Because this wig is pretty short, yo may need a wig cap to hold your hair under it.  Then just throw on a pair of black pumps and your out the door!

Cave Girl Dresscave girl dress
Are you looking for a sexier cave girl costume?  Well here is just the thing!

This gave girl dress is a mixture of fake fur.  The majority of the biased cut dress is a leopard print that has a tattered hem as if you ripped it right off the beast to drape around your sexy body.  There is a thicker fur sash like piece that swoops up over the shoulder.

Accent your lovely waist line with the faux suede belt that has a skull and axes for more of a barbarian look.  Or wrap some faux fur fabric or leather around you for a belt with another look.  You could even just cover the buckle with something if you are going for cave girl not barbarian.

The fake suede glovettes are a nice touch to add some elegance to the cave girl costume.  But dont forget your sexy cavegirl shoes!

Cave girls and cavemen span a huge length of time in our history.  We most readily think of the Stone Age people when we discuss cavemen.  The Neanderthal are but one set of people that lived in Europe, but there are other Paleo-Indian cave people that lived in the Americas.

Does your child want to wear a raging t-rex dinosaur costume this Halloween?

Most kids love dinosaurs.  There are several dinosaur costumes that you can pick from, but I particularly like the t-rex.   They are not only great Halloween Costumes, but it is also a great party theme and you can always find a rock load of dinosaur party supplies.

trex dinosaur cosutmeToy Story T Rex Dinosaur Costume
This big green dinosaur is one of my favorites from the Toy Story Movies.  Although he really isnt that scary, he is a great character.  This T-rex is probably one of the silliest prehistoric costumes around.

The T-Rex dinosaur costume has the bright green t-shirt as its base.  The shirt has a dinosaur tail attached to the back and the front tummy has a lite accent color to it, just like the toy.  There are three fingered gloves to make your child’s hands look like the t-rex’s hands and of course there is the giant head mask.

The mask covers the entire head and you can look out the mouth, full of his not so fierce toothy grin.  The big green head  with his innocent looking eyes makes me laugh every time I look at it!

Wear some dark clothing, ore something green under the outfit to blend in.  And this is a great costume to pair up with any of the other Toy Story Costumes.

T Rex Toddler Dinosaur Costumetoddler t rex dinosaur costume
The T-rex is truly the king of the dinosaurs.  This costume brings back memories for me actually, because when I was young I had a very similar costume and wore it all the time- not just for Halloween.

This t-rex dinosaur costume is a jumpsuit with varying shades of green, gold and white.  The stuffed tail has the pointy scales running down the ridge line and hangs down to the floor.  There are puffy feet that are attached to the bottom of the legs of the outfit and rest on top of your child’s feet.  The puffy hands are similar.  The hood flips up over the head easily and gathers down around the face.  A little face paint would really accentuate the costume.

This costume would be a good dragon look too.

tyrannosaurus costumeTyrannosaurus Child Dinosaur Costume
Well, this is probably the most realistic tyrannosaurus costume there is.  It is a plush costume with an oversized head hood that really looks like a t-rex head.  The printed detailing looks like a giant reptile might with hints of scales and color variation.  The attached booties and mittens cover your child’s hands and feet so as they are roaring like a t-rex, they look like one as well.

Dinosaurs were giant beasts in prehistoric times that today we only have fossils to try to understand them.  Their skeletal remains can tell us if they ate plants or were carnivores.

There are several different types of dinosaurs.  The t-rex is one of them but some others are the triceratops, the velociraptor and the brontosaurus.
