Barbies, crackerjacks and crash test dummies – they are all cuter when they are kids Halloween costumes. There is something about a little face peaking out of Frankenstein eyes that just melts our hearts.
The animal kingdom is represented with peacocks and jellyfish. Many kids like to dress up as food, such as steak, A1 sauce and a chef salad. Cotton candy, push up pops and gumballs are also very popular. Personally, we love the four year old who agreed to be half Hall and half Oates.
In addition, ideas here range from Optimus Prime, Inside Out characters, a mailtruck, Sharknado and even a haunted castle!
If the child in your life like to chose their own costume, this will rouse his/her imagination. If you like to choose your kids Halloween costumes, then enjoy! The costumes here will entertain you with their range of possibilities. Watch out kids…

When asking my kids what they wanted to be I should have expected exactly what I got. It’s not hard coming up for costumes for Ariel and Snow White.

Dalaine Nolan as a Vending Machine. This Vending Machine costume is definitely one of a kind. Our family had a lot of fun making the costume but we also had a lot of trouble with the costume. The box was a refrigerator box. It was cut down to the height of Dalaine. Brian, Dalaine, and … Read more
This Scary Pop Quiz costume was my son’s idea. As a middle-schooler, he decided that the most frightening thing ever is being caught of guard by his teachers. So the costume idea was born!

I was so happy when Ezra (turned 3 on November 1st) gravitated to the idea of being Super Grover instead of Elmo! However I still waited until a week before Halloween to get going. The top and pants were sewn using a set of his carter’s pajamas as a pattern, I have basic sewing skills … Read more
It wasn’t horribly difficult for my stepdaughter and I to make this walking tree costume. The hardest part was finding the box that was big enough.
