Halloween is right around the corner and while it’s adorable to see the little ones dressed up and walking around in their costumes, if your children are still babies, too small to walk around on their own, or just game to be a part of your costume with you, it’s a great chance for you to get in on the dress-up costume fun too!
The solution? Coordinate your costumes so they are each a part of the other, and go as a set.
Here are some ideas to help you get in the spirit together.
Parent/Adult and Baby
These ideas work best if you have a baby or little one you’ll be carrying around.
-
Chef and Lobster
Don your chef’s attire and stick your little lobster in a pot to carry around.
-
Banker (or Robber) and Moneybags
Bonus points for being to carry two bags of loot at once!
-
Tooth fairy and Tooth
How awesome would this be though?
-
Popeye and Can of Spinach
Perfect for your newborn’s first Halloween.
-
Headless Horseman and Head
Maybe a little gruesome, but if you’re going to be carrying the kid around under your arm anyway….
-
Snow White and Apple
People will love it when they get it.
-
Beekeeper and Bee(s)
The perfect costume for your little bee as you walk around holding him or her all night.
Parent/Adult and Multiple Kids
These costume ideas would be especially good if you have multiple kids of your own or you’ll be taking neighbors’, friends’, or family’s kids around with you.
-
Snow White and Dwarf (Dwarves)
Imagine all the little dwarves running around!
-
Willy Wonka and Oompa Loompa(s)
Arguably, EVEN better than the dwarves.
-
Charlie Brown and Snoopy (and friends – Woodstock, etc.)
Everyone’s hearts will melt when they see your little Snoopy running around you.
Parent/Adult and Kid
These costumes can be fun with kids of almost any age, but especially that are smaller than you.
-
Peter Pan and Shadow
Could be a little bit of a challenge to pull off and make sure people get it – but if they do, they’ll love it!

Who doesn’t love a little magic and a loyal little house elf?

Walking around holding hands or giving your kid a piggyback ride will look awesome.
