Simple Halloween Costume Ideas For Kids

As the eve of candy, jack-o-lanterns, and merry mischief draws ever closer, parents are getting ready to  choose the perfect disguises for their littlest ones. To ensure that this holiday is an absolute treat, we have our picks for the coolest no-fuss costumes this year!

 

For the jungle baby: Make sure your littlest trickster is in on the fun this Halloween. Lazoo Worldwide’s playful rompers are just the ticket for a look that speaks of a far away forest but is still cute, comfy, and age-appropriate. We’re especially in love with the Hoshi Character Romper.

For candy collection: It just wouldn’t be Halloween without an ample candy stash at the end of the evening. Make sure your costumed crusader has a sturdy and festive vessel to hold all those goodies throughout the night. We love this whimsical tote from Groovy Holidays. Choose from a bat design–our fave–a pumpkin, a ghost, and more!
