Top 5 Halloween Costumes for Kids

Are your kids having a hard time deciding what they are going to be for Halloween? The popularity of the holiday means there are more choices of costume than ever before, and it can be overwhelming! We have put together a list of the top costumes to help narrow down the choices this year.

1. Girl Power

Powerful women have made and are making history. Even though some little ones will be dressing up like Ruth Ginsburg, others will go the more traditional princess route. These little princesses never go out of style. You'll see dozens each Halloween. Your child can dress like Elsa or another Disney character. Some of the best pictures on social media are of little ones putting princess dresses on top of other characters like Darth Vader and Batman. Help your child get creative with their princess costume!

2. Superheroes

Superheroes are another kind of character that never wane in popularity. From Marvel to DC, there are a plethora of superheroes to choose from. You can easily find one of these costumes in your local party shop or take the time to piece it together on your own. No matter which your child chooses, their superhero costume is sure to be a hit.

3. Zombies

The Walking Dead has spawned a new generation of zombie lovers. The best thing about the zombie costume is its ease of creation. A bit of wax and some fake blood can transform any child into the living dead. Your creativity knows no bounds with a zombie costume because it can be paired with anything. Think zombie princess or zombie football player. Almost anyone or anything can be turned into a zombie. Let your imagination run wild!

4. Witches and Wizards

Movies like Harry Potter have given a renewed interest to magical powers. Help your child dress like their favorite witch or wizard. It's not a difficult costume to put together! It can be as elaborate or as simple as you like. A book of "spells," a wand and a cape are all that are required. What you choose to add is up to you!

5. Traditional Monster

Maybe your little one is having such a hard time deciding that you steer them toward the more traditional ghost or vampire. A simple bed sheet with holes for eyes makes a great ghost. A black shirt and pants, topped with a cape and a bit of white makeup is all you need for a spooky vampire. These traditional monsters can be given a modern flair with some imagination. They are versatile costumes!
