SHOP THESE EASY HALLOWEEN COSTUMES FOR KIDS:
Halloween will be here in just a few more weeks, so I’m sharing several really fun and really easy Halloween costumes for kids! Halloween typically sneaks up on me after the crazy busy summer and before all the holidays and kids’ birthdays. But this year, we are prepared! Leighton has 2 costumes this year and will be Hermoine Granger from Harry Potter (Amelia has the same one too!) and Eleven from Stranger Things. Check back soon because I’ll be sharing some great couples and family costume ideas too!
This was Leighton’s fun little romper that Eleven wore in Stranger. Things. It was fairly inexpensive, and it ended up bing so cute! And Leighton actually loved the costume and thought it was really cool with the 80’s print and colors. And it totally coordinated with mine, Matt and Grayson’s Stranger Things costumes. It was perfect for trick or treating this year!
While in Disney last fall, I took the girls to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, and to prepare, I picked out these mermaid tulle dresses in advance for the girls. It’s a win-win that they are also perfect for them to wear to Halloween this year. I had Grayson a matching lobster costume last year, and he was Sebastian, and the girls were Ariel. = )
This was one of my favorite costumes. It was just so easy, and being in Disney near Halloween was SO much fun and special! And the girls absolutely loved dressing up as mermaids, and I don’t blame them! And how adorable was Grayson?!
I am all about finding costumes that are inexpensive and that the kids can wear more than once. It is also so easy to get a tulle dress and turn it into an easy costume also. The girls love tutu dresses, and they are great to wear to schools and parties too. You might remember these super easy but cute looks the girls wore the year before too. We had some adorable little tutu dresses for Leighton’s birthday party a few ago, so all we needed to add was some unicorn headbands.
This was the most inexpensive costume I’ve ever put together hands down! The dresses come in different colors, so you could easily even do a cat, vampire, or most anything else! The girls loved their costumes too, and to my surprise, they wanted to wear their dresses and headbands nonstop! Now we keep tulle dresses on rotation. It’s so easy to pair with a unicorn horn, cat ears, fairy wings, and almost anything to make such a quick and easy costume!
Another great way to save money is to get some adorable little matching Halloween pajamas. Not only are they great to sleep in all fall, but they are also perfect for Halloween parties and even doing some trick or treating. Especially for little kids! No scratchy costumes for the little ones. A soft, cozy pair of PJs can do the trick if they’re really small!
The year before last, the kids wore their skeleton pajamas for Halloween too! Grayson was so tiny that it was the perfect costume for an infant. This year we couldn’t find the skeleton pajamas, so we bought them some adorable little pumpkin pajamas and some ghost pajamas to wear. Look how much they have grown from one year to the next! The kids have been wearing their Halloween pajamas nonstop! And they think it is so fun when they all match. I’ll do it as long as they will let me!
2 years ago, I got Leighton a skeleton costume too so she could wear it out trick or treating. It had the cutest little tulle trim on the top that looks like a skirt. What she loved is that she still matches the 2 littles, but she has her own special costume to wear trick or treating and to costume day at school. This one here is super similar to the one she wore.
For her hair, I just braided it in small braids that morning and took it out that night for a fun, crimped style. Then I brushed it out and sprayed some hairspray in it. It gave it such a spooky skeleton look to it. And of course, she had to have some red lipstick to complete the look!
Over the years, Matt and I have also worn these couples’ costume ideas, so check them out for a lumberjack, a deer, and Top Gun ideas that are super fun too. These Easy Halloween Costumes for kids are so simple! They don’t require but 1 or 2 easy accessories outside of your closet. And look at Grayson 2 years ago as a baby lumberjack!
We are all about stretching that dollar and making sure that Halloween is fun, easy, and budget-friendly! Are you a fan of keeping it simple for Halloween or do you go all out? What are you and your kids going to be this year for Halloween?
