17 Best Halloween Costumes for Kids

the robe, cape, and belt are all made of polyester. The mask is hard plastic with foam for comfort.

You will definitely need pants and boots to go with this. And your kid is for sure going to want a light saber, right? You’ll need to order that separately. And, there are a lot of users that opt for a full helmet mask rather than the front facing one that’s included.

It’s suggested, but there are plenty of users that have thrown it in the machine without damaging it.

It shouldn’t. The MSRP is a little more than $35, but you can find it on Amazon for less than $20 – most of the time.

It’s made from 100 percent polyester. But, it’s soft and there are skid resistant booties. Those are for use indoors; don’t try to take your child trick or treating in them (unless your arms are up for constant carrying).

This is a ridiculously cute costume for small children and babies. It’s basically a (lined) jumpsuit with a zipper and snap closures on the leg. The latter makes for relatively easy diaper changes. The booties and the hood seal the deal on sweetness and make it unnecessary to buy anything else.

This is one of the few costumes that can go in the machine, as per the manufacturer’s instructions. You’ll want to do that before tucking this away as a memory or passing it along to the next child.

It can run into the expensive side if you’re dressing a newborn in this costume. Who wants to pay $60 for a teeny tiny costume? But the price does come down into an more acceptable range of $30 as your children become bigger.

The body is 100% stretchy polyester. The boots are made of a velour sort of a material (rather than the shiny fabric you see in the photo).

It doesn’t come with a lasso of truth. You may want to pick up a yellow jump rope to complete the outfit. And, given the size of the skirt (in most cases), you’ll want some leggings as well.

You can put it in the machine on a gentle cycle, but some users have experienced issues with this. It’s probably best to hand wash this Wonder Woman costume if you want it to last for any length of time.

Depending on the size you get, you’ll pay between $20-$25. That’s really not bad at all. Indeed, considering you get just about everything you need for a super cute costume.

If you have a whole brood of little ones to dress, this is the costume for you. It’s got everything you need at a remarkable price. Plus, it doesn’t take that much effort to customize each kid. On the downside, this isn’t the best made costume. But, somehow, the kids just don’t seem to mind.

Sadly, this is made of 100 percent polyester, and it’s not the best quality.

You get the printed jumpsuit, gloves, headpiece, and the goggles. If you wanted to make it a little extra special, you could strap a pillow around your child’s middle. Or, if it’s a cold Halloween, you could buy a size or two up and use a jacket underneath.

This will probably fall apart in the machine unless you put it in on a gentle cycle. And, you’ll definitely need to hang it to dry.

No matter what size you get, you’ll pay less than $20. If you’re dressing a family of minions, it’s still remarkably affordable.

It’s created using plenty of polyester and tulle, with a felt hat that has a polyester lace finish.

You’ll probably want some leggings and an undershirt, not to mention shoes. You can easily complete this outfit with a sword and possibly an eye patch (both of which you can pick up rather cheaply this time of the year).

The manufacturer suggests it and we would definitely recommend it – if only because you don’t want that glitter clogging your machine.

The MSRP is a little more than $30, which is already quite a good price for this much costume. But, you should be able to find it for under $20 on Amazon – most of the time. We love that.

It’s a mix of polyester with polyurethane foam – and you shouldn’t expect much from it; the fabric is quite thin (as many Halloween costumes are). 

It’s a printed jumpsuit (no muscles) with an attached cape. And, that cape is wonderfully long. Some people find it a little too long, but most love that it’s not just a short half-cape.

The mask is sturdily made from hard plastic; on the inside, there is foam padding which makes for a comfortable fit. The belt is on the flimsy side, but you should probably expect that for a Halloween costume at this price point.

One of the best things about this costume (besides the price) is the sizing. Many users report the sizing to be fairly accurate – which is a rarity for Halloween costumes. The other great thing? Kids fascinated by Batman absolutely flip when they get to wear this – and it seems to hold up well despite the thin fabric.

If you want to get really specific, you can add a cape with a logo or the like. But, you can totally get away with this inexpensive costume.

Hand washing is suggested, but there are a few parents that have managed to toss this in the machine without totally destroying it.

Nope. And, that’s one of the reasons we love it so much. You should pay less than $20 for this and everything that’s included. Score.

As you can imagine, this is made from polyester with foam inserts.it’s basically a done deal with the fleece jumpsuit filled with a foam tummy and sporting an attached tail. You also get the hat.

Some face paint or yellow gloves could make this costume a little more enjoyable (for everyone). And, if you want to be a little more creative with this costume, you could make a cardboard outline to look like a phone screen. It will make them feel as though they’re in their favorite game.

Sadly, yes. And you’re probably going to need to wash it over, and over, and over again. If your kid is truly Pokémon crazy, you may just want to buy two at once.

For a Halloween costume, it’s not cheap. But, if your kid is going to want to wear it all the time then it’s not so bad. It’s roughly $50, and you’re paying for endless smiles with this costume. What parent can say no to that?

There are lots of little pieces in this trunk. Expect a fair amount of polyester and plastic. It’s hardly ideal, but this is more than a costume.

You’ll probably want some tights for your little ones, but that’s about the extent of the extras. Well, they may demand princess high heels (which aren’t recommended for trick or treating). But, if you need anything else, your princess probably has it.

You will need to hand wash this. Lucky for you, the princesses wearing these costumes are more likely to twirl around than roll in the mud.

NO! This is perhaps the best possible value on this list. For $30, you get a pile of items that can be mixed and matched to be whatever princess you want (except Elsa).

Mostly, this is made of 100 percent polyester, but there are also some extra details such as buttons.

If modesty is important to you, then you may want a pair of tights. Otherwise, a tea cup or tea pot would probably help people to more easily identify the character. Otherwise, you get just about everything with this tween/teen costume, including pettiskirt attached to the skirt, tailcoat with attached vest, spat shoe covers, glovelettes, bow tie, and hat.

Yes! And, the manufacturer has provided some strict guidelines about that – no bleach or hot water. You also want to avoid twisting the costume too much as it may easily lose its shape. Basically, this costume is delicate and you’ll be glad it doesn’t need to be worn often.

Depending on the size, you will pay between $30 and $40 which isn’t bad for a costume for older kids. But, you will feel a little pinch considering it will only be worn once… maybe twice.

The jumpsuit is 100 percent polyester and the half mask is made of polyurethane foam.

Probably not. You get the jumpsuit with the fake muscles (which kids flip for) and the half mask. If you really wanted to do it right, a little face paint is all you need. Then again, the gloves and spidey socks aren’t a bad touch.

Of course. You can try to put it in the machine, but you shouldn’t tumble dry it.

This costume is remarkably good value for the cost. It’s surprisingly sturdy and only costs about $25. Not bad considering your young man will want to wear it just about every day.

It’s made of 100% polyester material with a foam liner to provide some shape. There are ties in the back at the neck, which has a fabric covering for comfort.

Just something to wear underneath – like a pair of jeans or leggings. Otherwise, these costumes are meant to speak for themselves.

Surprisingly, it’s suitable for the gentle cycle in your washing machine. Of course hand washing is recommended, but we know you’re unlikely to do that.

At nearly $30, it’s definitely not the cheapest option. But, let’s face it, your kids – especially tweens will flip for the chance to express themselves with this costume.

It’s just a mask and it’s 100% latex. So, if your kid has a latex allergy, you should probably steer clear of this one!

Yes, pretty much everything! You’ll need an all white outfit of some sort, preferably with a ruffled front and collar. Then there is the red balloon and some red pom poms for the front of the shirt. But, none of these things would work without the mask – or a wig and some serious face painting skills.

Yes, as you would expect.

Pretty much. $50 is a stretch for most Halloween costumes and this doesn’t do more than cover the face. If you’ve got the money for it, your kid is going to love it. If not, go the face painting route or choose another costume.

The Rubie’s Paw Patrol Chase Child Costume is a cute brown longsleeved jumpsuit with an attached blue top. The costume comes with a police hat that has attached puppy ears. 

Made with 100% polyester – the costume is super comfy. The suit is not sized the same as apparel, so be sure to check out the size chart before purchasing. The costume itself is roomy, and if you order a size up, your child will be able to reuse this costume for the next year.

Best to hand wash this costume or take it to the dry cleaners. 

The costume is roomy, and your child should be comfortable in it throughout the night.

This pup patrol costume is exceptionally durable and selling on Amazon for only $18.76. Your child will definitely want to reuse this costume, making it an absolute steal in our opinion.

This Rubies Star Wars Captain Rex Costume is going to be your child’s new favorite outfit. You can also get Commander Cody, Commander Fox, Plo Koon, and Ahsoka. Each design comes with a basic model and a deluxe version. For the deluxe versions, you pay about twice the amount, but you get a belt and blaster. For the basic model, you get the full costume and helmet, but with no additional accessories. 

Unfortunately, the blaster is sold separately for the basic model. The costume does come with the super cool helmet with padding on the inside for comfort. 

The deluxe version comes with a blaster and a cool belt. 

It’s best to hand wash this suit or get it dry cleaned. 

The helmet does get a little hot, so your child probably won’t want to keep it on for too long. The suit itself can get a bit warm as well, so if it’s not super cold outside, best to wear the costume without any underlayers. 

For only 18.75 on Amazon, we’d say this product is priced at a great value. Your kid will probably even want to use this costume for multiple occasions (or just as their everyday wear)! 

The costume is exceptionally durable and made from 100% polyester. It’s a six-piece set that is easy to assemble.

This costume comes with six pieces in total. You get a long-sleeved shirt with attached bones, pants with attached leg bones, a hood, gloves, a mask, and the zombie hunter mask.

The costume is 100% polyester, but with the bones and extra attachments, it’s probably best to dry clean. Your child shouldn’t have any issues with the costume once it’s on. Keep in mind that it can get a little hot inside the mask after extended wear.

The costume starts at $19.99, which is a great value. You’re getting a quality six-piece set that your kid is going to love. The suit is extremely durable so you can definitely use it more than once.

The costume is made from 100% polyester and doesn’t tear easily. The suit is one size fits all (for children). The battery-operated fan inflates the costume within seconds! The outfit is super cute, and well ventilated so your kid can move easily throughout the night.

You get the costume, ‘wig’ and battery pack to blow up the suit. Use caution with the battery pack, as it does get hot with use.

The battery pack should keep the suit blown up all night long! You attach the pack to the back belt so if it ever deflates you can easily blow it back up.

The suit costs $24.99, which we’d say is a great value. You should be able to reuse this sumo-suit, whether it be for themed parties or multiple Halloweens! If you’re not satisfied with the product the company will return your payment – so you can buy in confidence.
