1.Stay Puft - Ghostbusters
The Ghostbusters Stay Puft Marshmallow man is a classic. You can buy the costume online, or you can make your own.
While the original Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is over 100 feet tall, a mini version of him will look even better and how cute is that?
What You’ll Need
White puffer suit
Sailor cap
Red ribbon
Blue sailor collar
2. Gumball Machine
Turn your baby into a gumball machine by gluing cotton balls to a hat. Then, write 25 cents on a red top.
If your baby won’t wear a hat, then glue the gumballs to the shirt instead. Then use the 25-cent sign on your baby’s bottoms.
What You’ll Need
Colored cotton balls
Fabric markers or iron on
Red dress or shirt
3. Gizmo - Gremlins
Gizmo is a good costume to buy if you don’t want to make your own. Otherwise, stick to a generic animal costume with the right coloring and work with it.
If you’re feeling ambitious, you can dress your baby as a gremlin. If you do choose mogwai, please do not get it wet or feed it after midnight. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
What You’ll Need
Furry one-piece
Hat with mogwai ears
4. Chucky - Child’s Play
You don’t need to sew or buy anything special for a Chucky costume. This creepy costume is easy to make with what you have.
If you don’t have overalls, you may be able to find some at a thrift store. Don’t forget the “Good Guys” label.
What You’ll Need
Overalls
Fabric markers
Striped long-sleeved shirt
Red shoes
Red wig or safe hair dye (if the baby doesn’t have red hair)
5. Cotton Candy
Cotton candy is an easy costume you can use for your baby. You can use regular cotton or tulle for the fluff.
If you have a can-can or tutu, you can use it as the bottom, and then you only have to add a fluffy top.
What You’ll Need
Cotton or tulle
Tights
Pointy hat (birthday hats work)
6. Chuckie - Rugrats
Chuckie is the most beloved Rugrat and the easiest to recognize. Stores like Box Lunch and Kohl’s usually have Chuckie shirts.
If you can’t find one, just buy a blue shirt and decorate it. The rest is easy as long as you can pull off the orange hair.
What You’ll Need
Orange wig or safe hair dye (if the baby doesn’t have red hair)
Purple glasses
Green shorts
Red chucks
Yellow socks
Blue space top
7. Old Person
While Benjamin Button is a great concept, it’s easier to go with a typical old person. Use your imagination for the details.
For old men, bowties and flat caps are useful. For old women, curlers and muumuus are great.
What You’ll Need
Wig
Baby clothes (look for inspiration)
Walker for older babies
8. Munchkin - Wizard of Oz
Represent the Lollipop Guild with a Munchkin costume. Swirl their hair, dress them in elf clothes, and give them a lollipop.
Of course, the lollipop doesn’t have to be real, and the hair can be sewn onto a hat. But, the result will be the same.
What You’ll Need
Swirled hair
Lollipop
Elf shoes
Shirt with collar
Striped leggings
9. A Hobbit - LotR/Hobbit Series
Choose your favorite hobbit and use it as your inspiration for your baby’s costume. The little guys don’t need the full outfit to pull off this cute Lord of the Rings costume.
They can go barefoot if you’re indoors, which is canon. As for the specific clothing, take a look at generic medieval clothes.
What You’ll Need
Cloak
Slightly pointed ears
Capris
Vest
10. Burrito
A burrito is a unique, cheap, and easy costume to use for your baby. You can get a tortilla-colored blanket or buy a tortilla blanket.
The rest is easy. Just remember to use fake foil rather than real foil, which could cut your baby.
What You’ll Need
Fake veggies
Tortilla blanket
Wrap (optional)
11. Wilson - Cast Away
There are two ways you can go with this. You can either cut apart a large ball or stuff a large white shirt.
Either way, the grass hat and red face on the front will be the key pieces. So get create with the white part or leave it as a plain onesie.
What You’ll Need
Volleyball or white shirt with stuffing
Red fabric paint
Grass hat
12. Beanie Baby
Beanie Babies are easy because you can use any generic animal costume and make a TY tag for the ear.
If you have a costume lying around but you don’t want to go too basic, a small cardboard tag will make it interesting.
What You’ll Need
TY tag
Animal costume
13. Slappy - Goosebumps
This is an easy costume if you have a baby tux with a red bowtie. Use non-toxic paint for the face to make dummy lines.
If you want something even scarier, opt for Jigsaw, which is another dummy that is much harder to create a cosplay of.
What You’ll Need
Tuxedo
Red corsage
Face paint
14. Cabbage Patch Kid
Cabbage Patch Kids were the doll of many childhoods. You can recreate one with your baby with nothing but a yarn wig.
The clothing isn’t important unless you’re creating a specific doll. Add some rosy cheeks for added effect, or leave those chubby cheeks alone.
What You’ll Need
Yarn wig/hat
Colorful clothing
Face paint (optional)
15. Troll Doll
If your baby is older and it’s a nice temperature inside, you can leave off the clothing for a while and use a diaper cover.
Otherwise, use skin-tone clothing and add the gem to the belly button. This is a cheap and easy costume if you can get the hair right.
What You’ll Need
Wig or safe hair dye
Belly button gem
Skin-tone clothing
Tips for Baby’s First Halloween Costume
Make sure you use age-appropriate costumes (hats for newborns, shoes for walking babies, etc.)
Use their hair (or lack of hair) to your advantage and get creative with costumes. Who doesn’t love a baby with mustache?
Pay attention to the weather and dress accordingly. Furry coats and hats make great baby cosplay items!
If you have older kids that love video games, why not get the entire family involved and do a video game themed Halloween. There are some creative Fortnite costumes that everyone will love and can you imagine baby’s first Fortnite skin costume? The older kids would love it!
Conclusion
Baby’s first Halloween should be special for you. While they won’t remember it, they’ll enjoy looking at the pictures and the extra mile you went to for them.
