How do I make a DIY Grover headpiece?

Take a plain royal blue beanie. Cut two large circles out of white felt and two smaller circles out of black felt for the eyes. Glue them together, then glue them to the top of the beanie. Add a pink pom-pom or pink felt ball in the center just below the eyes for the nose.

What is the difference between a regular Grover and a Super Grover costume?

A regular Grover costume is just the blue furry monster. Super Grover adds a red cape, a yellow and red 'G' shield logo on the chest, and a silver helmet (often depicted as a cooking pot or funnel).

Is this costume suitable for cold weather?

Yes, a plush fleece or faux-fur jumpsuit is naturally warm, making it excellent for chilly Halloween nights.
