  Amongst new costume ideas this Halloween, you will continue to see old favorites like Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm from "The Flintstones." Hanna-Barbera debuted this series in 1960, and although the show ended in 1966, the characters are still recognizable today thanks to the spin-offs, movies and cereal advertisements. Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm grew up in the spin-offs from the babies they originally were into dating teens, which provides costume possibilities for all ages.
  
  

Infant and Toddler Costumes

• Dress your infant or toddler in the original style of Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm. A small amount of pink leopard print fabric tied over a pink or orange onesie will work for Pebbles. Attach a red ponytail to a hat and include a small bone cut out of card stock or craft foam. An infant or toddler Bamm-Bamm costume includes a piece of animal print fabric tied over one shoulder. Wrap this over a onesie or footed pajamas.
  
  

Pebbles Costume Ideas for Teens and Adults

• As a teen, Pebbles still had her familiar red hair with a large bone in it and pink leopard print. To make a Pebbles costume, start with a pink leopard print top. Cut the sleeves off, then cut the hem into a ragged edge.
  
  If you cannot find one to purchase, make a simple covering from two rectangle pieces of leopard print fabric tied at the shoulders over a pink T-shirt. The rectangles should be as wide as your body and approximately hip-length. Alternately, you can pin the fabric at the shoulders of the pink T-shirt.
  
  Wrap a rope belt around your waist to hold the covering in place. Fringe a pair of black or blue shorts and wear a pair of flip-flops to complete the look. Red wigs can be found in a costume shop or you can spray your hair with temporary colored spray.
  
  

Bamm-Bamm Costume Ideas for Teens and Adults

• Teen Bamm-Bamm didn't change his outfit much as he grew. Look for a white sleeveless T-shirt and a pair of brown pants. Cut the pants into long shorts with a jagged hemline. Make a simple vest from leopard print fabric. Cut a rectangle of fabric that fits around your body. Cut two arm holes and a jagged hem line. Wear flip-flops or go shoeless if staying indoors.
  
  Bamm-Bamm always carried a club around. For your costume, use an inflatable club from a party store or make your own from a baseball bat for an adult costume. Glue crumbled brown paper bags on the bat to create a club-like shape. Wrap the entire piece with brown tissue paper or brown craft paper to hold in place.
  
  A khaki bucket hat can be embellished with animal print fabric. Use craft glue to attach pieces of fabric to the hat, then add a few strands of white yarn to the underside of the hat so that they peek out to represent Bamm-Bamm's white hair.
