Fall is officially here, and the cooler temps and yellowing leaves have us super excited for all of the fall family activities. Fall brings so many great experiences—apple and pumpkin picking, jumping in leaves, gathering with friends and families for holidays, and yes, Halloween.
Halloween can be confusing for young kids; they’re not totally sure why they’re dressing up or why everyone’s handing out candy. But, once those they catch on to the magic and marvel of Halloween, there is no denying their excitement.
But, just like most other holidays and events that involve children, the cost of Halloween can add up. Buying candy, decor, tickets at festivals and fairs, in addition to their actual costume can sometimes be the scariest part of Halloween!
To help you out, we’ve rounded up up the cutest costumes for babies, toddlers, and kids all under $75 (with many of them being under $30). And, if your kid is a little skittish, all of these costumes are free of spooks and ghouls—just good, ol’ Halloween fun for the whole family.
Pro-tip: pick one that aligns with your child’s interests and get double-duty out of it as a pretend play dress-up outfit for the playroom post-Halloween!
