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…

I have 3 children (ages 9, 9 and 8) and have always loved dressing them up for Halloween in themes of “3’s”. I got this idea a couple years ago, while eating Rice Krispies for breakfast one morning. I finally had the time to make the costumes this year. :-) Snap: I found a white … Read more
I made this costume for my son. One morning in September, over breakfast, he told me that he wanted to “be” a gingerbread house.
