Captain Jack Sparrow
As one of the most awesome pirates to have sailed and sunk ships on the high seas, Captain Jack Sparrow is a favorite among young ones.

Fred Flintstone
These colorful, prehistoric Halloween costumes for kids work great for teens, even coming with special feet to help fully play the part. With a little help from the Internet, your child can get friends to team up and dress as the whole family- especially if he has any little sisters or brothers. Even the dog can get in on the action– if it’s willing to put up with being dressed up. When all else fails, sometimes the best thing to do is return to the classics. And maybe you can even get the Jetsons to meet them down the road while searching for treats.
The Amazing Spider-Man
If your kid’s got spidey-senses– and intends to use them to search out the houses where the best treats are, then the Amazing Spider-Man reversible outfit is one of the best Halloween costumes for kids.

Be sure to get an adult to play the part of their teacher, and walk them in two straight lines from house to house as part of a fun evening for them and their friends– but don’t expect the orderliness to last too long.
Thor
As part of the Avengers, your son can certainly enjoy dressing up as his favorite superhero– Thor! These Halloween costumes for kids come with cape and hat, though you’ll need to get the hammer separately (you might consider making one that is toddler safe).

See if you can gather her friends and have some fairies join her around the block while trick or treating. Aside from the cute remarks she is certain to receive, you should also have plenty of happy neighbors thanking her with candy treats. Before she wears it, you may want to reinforce the outfit, however, as it is delicate– much like a delicate princess. With these types of beautiful Halloween costumes for kids, she’ll be happy you took the time to find it for her.
Little Wolf
Now your toddler can join all his other wild friends as a little wolf, and don’t be surprised to hear him howling at the moon when night time comes.

But no worries– he’ll likely sit still for a treat, especially if it’s one of the delicious ones you’ve helped him to collect. But don’t be surprised if he keeps wearing the outfit long after trick or treating night is over.
Mario
Sometimes searching the plumbing for lost princesses is just plain fun. As his favorite video game character, your kid can dress up as Mario, and his best friend or brother can join him as a fun sidekick. These types of kids costumes comes as a jumpsuit, and has blue overalls with the traditional yellow buttons, along with an inflatable belly, attached red shirt, hat, mustache, and gloves. Just be sure to check and get the right size so that it works out best for your kid. If he really wants to get a group going, he can even find Luigi and Toad to be his partners.
Juliet
From the classic Shakespeare tale, Juliet is a beautiful lady with a wonderful dress and wreath. Find her a rose or get her a Romeo to tag along, and the story will be complete. If your kid is fond of romance or just finds the story beautiful, this is one of the best Halloween costumes for kids that can be used over and over again for a multitude of purposes, especially if you go to a renaissance faire and bring her along with you. Just don’t be surprised when she starts talking in “these” and “thous,” so you might want to brush up on your Shakespearean English before you get it.
Oscar The Grouch
For those who love Sesame Street, Oscar the Grouch is a good option, even coming with a barrel piece to look the part. If you’re looking at a cold October night, this suit works quite well at keeping your young one warm, though it is a bit bulky to work with.

Don’t be surprised if your kid tries to imitate this character’s famous cough and gravelly voice, and for extra fun, you can easily assemble a whole group of Star Wars characters to go out together in search of candy. After all, the force may not be with Grievous, but it can sure help with a good lightsaber duel.
Superman
Now your son can pretend to be as strong as Superman in this muscled outfit. If you have a fan in the house, beware, it will likely be the source of the flapping cape.

Stinger Bee
This cute little stinger bee is more fuzzy than cute, and makes one of the most awesome Halloween costumes for kids. With cute little black wings and a fluffy stinger, they’re likely to be comfortable while you and your family “oooh” and “aaahh” over their adorableness. Just make sure your infant has gone to the bathroom before hand, since there is no easy diaper change ability. But if you take them out to pick up little treats for their early holiday fun, they are sure to get a number of remarks on how cute they are, especially for a little stinger bee.
Dinky Dragon
This little dragon is certainly more laughs and giggles than a fire-breathing monster. The dinky dragon outfit comes with a jumpsuit and the booties to go with it, and like most little kid suits, offers a number of possible photo opportunities.

Of course, it also comes with a mask, but don’t forget his all important ring.
