5 Classic Baby Halloween Costumes

One of the most fun holidays to celebrate with your baby is Halloween! There are so many possibilities for funny baby costumes, but you can’t go wrong with a classic. Check out our list of baby Halloween costumes sure to surprise and delight the whole neighborhood.

1. Baby Mummy

An easy DIY baby costume you can make last-minute, a baby mummy is the perfect mix of cute and spooky. Start with a plain white onesie and a pair of leggings, and loosely wrap fabric strips from an old sheet or pillowcase to create the classic mummy wrap. Tuck the ends of the wraps into your little one’s leggings so they don’t unravel while parading around in their spooky duds, and remove the wraps completely before naptime.

2. Baby Pumpkin

It’s not Halloween until there’s at least one baby pumpkin. Plus, babies already have that perfect pumpkin shape! Pick up a plump pumpkin costume for your little one at any Halloween or party store for a classic Halloween look. Bonus points for an eye-spy pumpkin patch photoshoot with your little gourd.  

3. Baby Scarecrow

What’s cuter than a baby in overalls? A scarecrow baby in overalls! A baby scarecrow costume is another at-home, DIY option using items from your baby’s existing wardrobe. Grab a pair of overalls and a cozy long-sleeve shirt and add some loose straw to the pockets to create your very own baby scarecrow. Top off the look with a bucket hat and an oversized faux flower to complete the costume.

4. Baby Hotdog

For a funny baby costume look no further than a baby hotdog, an excellent choice for babies who aren’t yet walking. Dress your baby in a mini hotdog costume and wear your favorite baseball hat to create a good old fashion day at the ballpark look. The only thing you’ll have to worry about is getting hungry carrying around that delicious-looking baby.

5. Baby Shark

Do do do-do-do-do. We know you hear the song! Lean into the cultural phenomenon with your very own baby shark. And if you think about babies really do have lots of shark-like qualities: sharp teeth, constantly moving, and a bit mysterious. Plus, your baby will have their very own theme song for trick-or-treating!
