Let's face it. Deep down, Halloween is for the children! Yes, adults enjoy wearing costumes of our favourite characters from television, brave superheroes, and frightening clowns. But nothing can match the sheer joy on a child's face when they wriggle into their Halloween costume and head out to a fancy dress party! That's a big part of why we carry so many great Halloween costumes for kids. The real question is this…what costume do you plan on outfitting your little one in?

There are so many different options that it can be overwhelming to make a decision, but not to worry! We're here to help you figure out which costume to choose. From Where's Wally to characters from The Hobbit, we have a little something for every adventurous youngster. You can even find historical Renaissance-style costumes and freaky classic costumes, like werewolves! It all just depends on what your child is passionate about. So, let's get started with some of our favourite costumes to get your ideas started!

There are plenty of reasons for a kid to wear a costume. Of course, Halloween is at the top of the list, but what about the other reasons? Well, fancy dress parties are a thing that happens year-round and it's never out of style to have a themed birthday party. Your child can also add a bit of authenticity to their playtime by dressing up as their favourite characters! Just imagine your child dressed up as Spider-Man as they imagine themselves as the iconic Marvel superhero. We have costumes that suit both boys and girls. Just check out some of our options below.

Halloween Costumes for Girls

Girls have a wide variety of options to choose from, which range from superheroes to iconic movie characters, and even the classic dress costumes. It's all about finding an outfit that matches your girl's personality! Is she a devious anti-hero, who sometimes fights crime and sometimes likes to cause trouble? Then she might feel right at home dressed up as Harley Quinn! Does she have dreams of following the Yellow Brick Road to her dreams? Then maybe she'd rather dress up as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz!

Boys Halloween Costumes

For boys, it's all about their favourite characters from television! Whether if they want to dress up as a superhero (we like The Flash, ourselves) from the cartoons or if you've had the good sense to show them the joy of Indiana Jones, we suggest choosing a costume that plays into their sense of adventure. Of course, we also have plenty of classic themes, like pirates and werewolves, so if your little one wants something a little more traditional, we have you covered!

From the days that littles take their first steps, some parents can only think of one thing…what sort of cute outfits to put them in! The toddler years are truly the golden age for getting adorable snapshots of your little one. Something furry, maybe? Perhaps something a little ferocious, like a lion cub costume! Maybe you'd like to turn your tot into the next swashbuckling sensation on the high seas. Or what about something from their favourite show, Thomas the Tank Engine! Well, we have all of those options and more for your toddler, but we think that the number one consideration to make when selecting a costume is to choose a look that will provide maximum cuteness for the Halloween season!

We can't talk about children's Halloween costumes without getting into the scary stuff! Plenty of kids love to dress up like the ghouls, ghosts, and goblins that give us all the creeps. Don't worry, because we have some great choices for the kids who want to keep it creepy this Halloween. Whether they want to dress up like a zombie, howl at the moon like a werewolf, or even become a character from dark novels, we have something for every kid with a taste for the macabre. You can also pair some of these up with our makeup kits to help increase the fear level of these terrifying outfits.

Harry Potter is here to stay! Like Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and superheroes, everyone seems to know the tale of The Boy Who Lived. Whether you're an old school fan of JK Rowling's books, a fan of the movies, or just love to share the Wizarding World with your little one, a Harry Potter fancy dress outfit can be the perfect way to get your child into a magical mood. We have classic Hogwarts robes, including Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin ones, but we also have some child styles based on Dementors and characters from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. That means our selection of wizards costumes has a well-rounded mix for kids!

Not-so-long ago, in a galaxy nearby…actually, in OUR galaxy to be precise… Star Wars cosplay costumes made their way into our hearts! Star Wars has been charming audiences since the first movie released back in 1977. Of course, the prequel series rejuvenated love of Star Wars when it hit cinemas in 1999. Then the galaxy far, far away got expanded with The Clone Wars, the sequel movies, Rebels, and a whole crop of great video games based on George Lucas' universe. That means Stars Wars costumes are something that both kids and adults can enjoy together!

Last, but not least, we have to talk about superhero costumes! It's pretty easy to see why superheroes are one of the most popular costumes among kids, since they speak to every kid's deepest desires! Every kid would love to gain a ton of superpowers. Every kid wants to save the day and stop evil villains from taking over the world and most kids totally want their own flashy outfit to wear while destroying evil! Ever since the Marvel and DC movies have become a worldwide sensation, superhero-themed fancy dress parties have become one of the top themes to choose. The great news about that is we carry a superhero that speaks to every kid. Whether your child wants to have the traditional look of a hero like Superman or if they like the big green style of the Incredible Hulk or even the slick style of Captain Marvel, your child will be ready to suit up in one of our superhero costumes for kids.

DC Halloween Outfits for Kids

One of the biggest feuds of all time is the one between DC and Marvel. DC brings classic heroes, like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman to the table! They've been around since…well, the beginning of superheroes themselves. If your child likes the old school cool style of superheroes, then they might want to try out any of our DC-themed outfits. We even have versions of costumes from the latest movies in the DC cinematic universe.

DC Villains Kids Fancy Dress Costumes

Some kids aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some kids just want to watch the world burn! For those kids, we recommend some of our DC villain costumes. We have styles like The Joker and Harley Quinn for kids who are little schemers! They're definitely the type of kids who prefer the tricks over the treats when it comes to Halloween.

Avengers Costumes for Kids

Holy smokes! Did you all see Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame? Well, if you haven't, make sure you rent them, because every Marvel fan needs to see the conclusion to all of those years of Avengers movies! If your child is just as hyped about Captain America, Iron Man, and the rest of the crew, then they're going to want to dress up as their favourite character from the movies. We have options for all fans, including Thor outfits, to Black Widow uniforms, and even some brand new favourites that include Captain Marvel!
