HalloweenHalloween costumes for kids: the age-by-age guide
The question we get every year in the last week of October is always the same: what costume is suitable for this age. Here is the answer, from six months to eight years old.
Babies, from 6 to 12 months
At this age, the costume must be clothing. No hoods falling over the eyes, no masks, nothing that drags on the floor for those still crawling. Bodysuits are put on in the morning and stay on all day.
Baby Pumpkin Bodysuit
Worn like any other bodysuit, with a pumpkin ruffle around it.
35.95 €6 to 12 monthsView
Baby Ghost Bodysuit
The friendliest ghost on the street, with nothing covering the face.
35.95 €6 to 12 monthsView
Baby Bat Bodysuit
Wings attached to the sleeves, which open when the baby opens their arms.
35.95 €6 to 12 monthsView
Baby Skeleton Suit
Bones printed on the front and back, in soft knit fabric.
35.95 €6 to 12 monthsViewFrom 12 months to 4 years
The age of short capes. They are worn over the clothes the child is already wearing, which solves the chill of October and the tantrum of a tight suit. And they can be taken off in two seconds when it starts getting warm indoors.
Mini Bat Cape
Put on and taken off in a second, over what they are already wearing.
38.95 €1 to 4 yearsView
Mini Spider Cape

Mini Devil Cape
Red, with horns on the hood.
35.95 €1 to 4 yearsView
Bat Coat
A proper, warm coat. Serves as a costume and as outerwear.
44.95 €1 to 4 yearsViewPut the costume on once, at home, a few days before. You'll know if it itches, if it's too tight, or if the hood falls over the eyes, and you'll still have time to exchange it.
From 2 to 6 years
By now, they have their own formed opinion. This is the age when the child chooses the character and insists on keeping it all night, so it's worth letting them choose.

49.95 €2 to 4 yearsView

40.95 €3 to 6 yearsView

44.95 €3 to 6 yearsViewFrom 3 to 8 years
