Go for a costume made of regular clothes, like a t-shirt.
Styling a Halloween t-shirt for a toddler costume can be both fun and creative. Let your toddler be a part of choosing the dress up. For your toddler, it is the time shared with you and the connection you share which is the most important of all. Here are 10 ideas to help you get started:
- Pumpkin Patch Toddler: Pair the Halloween t-shirt with orange leggings or pants. Add a green beanie with a stem (made of fabric, paper or yarn) to turn your toddler into a cute little pumpkin.
- Mini Witch or Wizard: Combine the Halloween t-shirt with a black tutu or skirt for a mini witch or wizard costume. Don't forget a small witch hat or wizard hat, and maybe a broomstick or magic wand as accessories.
- Little Vampire: Dress your toddler in black pants or leggings and add a black or read cape or cloak. Accessorize with a bit of face paint (fake blood on the mouth) and plastic vampire fangs.
- Spooky Ghost: Pair the Halloween t-shirt with white pants or leggings. Create a ghostly look by draping a white sheet or fabric over your toddler's head with holes for the eyes, and you've got a friendly, little ghost. This can be less scary and overwhelming than a long ghost costume to their feet.
- Cute Skeleton: Combine the t-shirt with black pants or leggings. Paint or glue white felt bones onto the clothing to create a skeleton look. Finish with a skull cap or headband with a skull design.
- Fairy or Pixie: Use the t-shirt as a base and add a tutu in a magical color like purple or green. Decorate with fairy wings and a tiara to complete the look. Some face paint is always fun.
- Mini Monster: Pair the t-shirt with colorful, mismatched leggings or pants. Create a fun monster headband or hat with googly eyes, faux fur, and felt teeth. Perhaps add some green face paint.
- Superhero Toddler: Transform the t-shirt into a superhero costume by adding a cape, a mask, and a cardboard cutout or fabric emblem of your toddler's favorite superhero logo.
- Magical Unicorn: Combine the t-shirt with a colorful tutu or skirt in pastel shades. Add a unicorn horn headband and some glittery face paint for a magical unicorn look. Or accessorize with toys in rainbow colors and glitter.
- Classic Black Cat:*Pair the t-shirt with black pants or leggings. Accessorize with cat ears, a tail, and some drawn-on whiskers using face paint or eyeliner.
Remember to ensure your toddler's comfort and safety while dressing them up in their Halloween costume. Avoid costumes that might be too hot or cumbersome and be mindful of small parts that could pose a choking hazard. Have a spooktacular Halloween!
