For many of us, fall means cooler temps, yellowing leaves, and fall family activities—including Halloween! But Halloween can be confusing for young kids; they’re not totally sure why they’re dressing up or why everyone’s handing out candy. Once 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 to festivals and fairs—in addition to their actual Halloween costume—can sometimes be the scariest part!

To help you out, we’ve rounded up the cutest Halloween costumes for babies, toddlers, and kids all under $75 (with many of them being under $40). And, if your child is a little skittish, all of these kids’ 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! Check out the list below.

 

Costumes For Babies
