The Cutest Halloween Costumes For Babies

Dressing your baby in cute outfits is fun any day of the week, but Halloween is when you’ll really have a blast. Whether you decide to go all out and construct a costume from scratch or buy one, there are tons of cute ways to enjoy the sweet, dress-up holiday (even if they're too little to munch on the spoils of their hard work). Once the holiday has wrapped, you can hang on to your costumes to use for dress-up play later on. 

Here are some ridiculously adorable Halloween costumes for your baby.

Best Fruit Costumes

Considering how much fruit babies and toddlers consume once they start solids, it seems only right to dress them as their favorite snack. From berries and pineapples to grapes and tomatoes (yes, it’s a fruit), the options are endless, super adorable and typically come in comfy jumpsuit styles.

Best Animal Costumes

What’s cuter than a baby dressed as a baby animal? Probably nothing. Even better, most of these work well with layering elements like leggings, long sleeves and socks so your baby can stay warm and toasty while trick or treating.

Best Character Costumes

Even if your baby is too tiny to even identify who their favorite TV or movie character is, you can choose a costume that represents one of your childhood favorites, like Winnie the Pooh or Buzz Lightyear, for some nostalgia. And for the babies who have that one certain character who can instantly bring a smile to their face, they’ll really get a kick out of being their beloved character for a day.

Best Career Costumes

Just for a day, your baby can cosplay as an employee with adorable career costumes. If you have a job that lends to a cute costume, you can even turn them into a mini you.

Best Costumes for Baby Wearing

For very young babies who’d rather be in a baby carrier while trick or treating, a costume that can work while baby-wearing will ensure they’re comfortable and won’t overheat.

Best Princess Costumes

A floofy dress, sparking details and a shiny tiara is all you’ll need to transform your baby into royalty for the day. You can go for a Disney princess costume or opt for a general princess look. Either way, once the holiday is over, you can hang on to the costume to play dress up.

Best Twins Costumes

It might not be in a rule book, but it just feels right to coordinate twins’ Halloween costumes. Their costumes can be an exact match (like two dogs or two pumpkins) or a pair of things that go together (like milk and cookies or ketchup and mustard).

Best DIY Costumes

Calling all of the creative parents—now is your time to shine! And even if you aren’t a Pinterest-level DIY’er, brands like Primary make it easy to bring your unique costume idea to life. With a few extra accessories that you probably already have lying around at home, you can create a one-of-a-kind costume.
