Halloween is coming up in just 4 short weeks and we’re fully beginning to prepare for the spookiest night of the year! We often find ourselves running to Spirit Halloween for last minute costumes, but this year will be different! Particularly, we’re planning ahead and finding some of the best costumes for some Halloween fun! The kids had plenty of costume ideas for them and their best friends full of popular themes and popular characters. There will be no last-minute costume idea issues this season! Here are some easy Halloween costume ideas:
Popular Characters
A lot of kids want to go for popular characters to dress up as for a good time! Some of the most popular costumes are iconic characters from films and characters such as Harry Potter, Wonder Woman, Peter Pan, Snow White, Princess Leia from Star Wars, Jurassic World, the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus, characters from Stranger Things and so many more ideas that make up a genius idea. Amazon Prime has a ton of costumes in stock and the shipping is incredibly fast. A cult favorite is always a good option to go for if you’re ever in a pinch for a perfect Halloween costume!
Animals
Dressing little one’s up as animals is a go-to for me. They’re just so cute! Go to a costume shop and get some great ideas for this category! This is also something that is easy for DIY costumes, as it can simple be animal heads and solid clothing or a one piece with ears. Moreover, the whole family can enjoy this look! Everyone can be a character from a movie with woodland creatures or animals from a farm. Dogs, cats, ducks and bunnies are some classic options.
School Appropriate
While most schools have costume parties, it’s important to make sure the costumes are appropriate to wear to school. This really applies to the scarier looks, mostly. It can feel difficult to come up with a creative costume if you feel restricted, but making sure it’s within the comfort zone is important. No weapons, masks and making sure costumes go along with school guidelines are good rules to follow for this. For instance, you like scary Halloween costumes, maybe consider saving those for trick or treating and go for something that’s more along the lines of easy Halloween costumes. Have fun at your school party and wear something you are comfortable with that is safe and follows the rules. If you are unsure, check with your teachers!
Have a happy and safe Halloween and be sure to share your costume ideas in the comments to help a friend out!

I am loving the Sanderson Sisters’ idea. My 12-year-old wants to go as Cher from Clueless. I used to always go as a witch
Love the Cher costume!!
I’m a foodie, so of course, I immediately gravitate to the pizza slice. LOL. These are all such great picks, though.
That pizza slice is a great choice!
I’m so excited for Halloween! I love seeing all the costumes and our area has a lot of children, so it is always very fun.

We don’t celebrate Halloween but watching the children at the costume parties is cute.

Dressing like popular characters for Halloween is always a go to for me. It’s also a great conversation starter too because you can connect with people over your favorite shows/movies.
