Kids Halloween Costumes - Make this Halloween magical with our wide range of kids Halloween costumes and find the perfect outfit for your little trick-or-treater. Let their imagination run wild with frightfully fun and spooky kids Halloween costumes ready for a school parade, a costume party or a night of trick-or-treating. Sized for every age and stage with toddler Halloween costumes included, our kids Halloween costumes range covers the classics and the favourites in one place, so there's no need to hunt down a specific character. Everything a kid could want to dress up as is ready to go and parents joining in can find their own look in our wider
Halloween costumes range too.
Halloween Costumes for Girls
Explore adorable girls Halloween costumes ranging from classic Disney princess looks to wickedly wonderful witches. Frozen, Moana and other favourite girls Halloween costume characters sit alongside spookier picks for anyone after a bit more drama than a tiara. Adding accessories is an easy way to make a princess costume feel a little more Halloween, a witch's hat over a ballgown, or a bit of face paint to finish the look. Wearing a girls Halloween costume over a long-sleeve top or leggings is also worth considering for cooler nights, especially if trick-or-treating runs late.
Halloween Costumes for Boys
Save the day with our boys Halloween costumes including Spider-Man, Batman and other favourite superheroes. Classic monster costumes sit alongside the caped crusaders for anyone chasing something spookier and swapping between the two from one year to the next is half the fun of dressing up. A cape, a mask or a set of claws can turn an ordinary outfit into a boys Halloween costume in a pinch, if a full character suit isn't quite what's needed. Comfort matters just as much as the look, especially for younger boys who'll be wearing a kids Halloween costume for hours at a school event or an evening of trick-or-treating.
Choosing the Right Kids Halloween Costume
Picking a kids Halloween costume often comes down to whatever a child is into that year whether that's a new movie release, a favourite TV character or a classic monster they've just discovered. Letting them choose means the Halloween costume gets worn happily on the night. For a toddler Halloween costume, comfort tends to matter more than character, since a fussy toddler in a scratchy or restrictive costume rarely lasts the whole night in it. While kids Halloween costumes are typically sized by age range rather than the usual clothing size, so it's worth checking the size guide before buying, particularly for costumes with capes, wings or other add-ons that can run differently to a standard outfit.
Getting More Wear Out of a Kids Halloween Costume
A costume bought for Halloween rarely gets worn just once. Plenty of kids Halloween costumes double up for a school
Book Week parade, a birthday party or general dress-up play well after the 31st of October has passed. Pairing a kids Halloween costume with a few pieces from the general
dress-up and costumes range means the fun doesn't have to stop once Halloween wraps up. A couple of
Halloween accessories can also help stretch one costume into a few different looks across the season, so a single superhero suit or princess dress can do double or triple duty over time. Shop kids Halloween costumes online or in-store at Target and get the little ones ready for a night of treats and thrills.
Halloween FAQs
What are the most popular kids' Halloween costume themes?
Character costumes drawn from current movies, TV shows and games tend to top the list each year, alongside a steady rotation of classics like witches, superheroes and princesses. Group themes are popular too, siblings or friends dressing as different characters from the same story, whether that's a superhero team or a cast of Disney characters.
Is it worth buying a Halloween costume a size up for a growing child?
It can be a reasonable call if a costume is likely to get a second outing at a birthday party or Book Week down the track, since kids can grow out of a costume just as fast as any other item of clothing. For something worn once and put away, sizing to fit now usually gives a better result on the night.
How do I choose the right size costume online?
Kids Halloween costumes are usually labelled by age range rather than standard clothing sizes, so it's worth checking the specific size guide on the product page. If a child is in between two age ranges, sizing up tends to give more room to move, especially for costumes with capes, wings or other add-ons.
How do you keep a child comfortable in a costume during a cool Halloween night?
Halloween falls in late spring in Australia, so evenings can still be cool depending on the state. Layering a long-sleeve top or leggings underneath a costume, or packing a jacket for the walk home, is an easy way to keep a child comfortable without covering up the costume itself.
