Infants can join in on the fun on Halloween too. Most people would agree that there is nothing cuter than an infant, unless of course it is an infant in costume. Infant Halloween costumes often are based on animals, occasionally are based on story book characters, but rarely are they scary. You can let your imagination go wild when it comes to infant Halloween costumes.

One of the most popular costumes for infants are Jack-o-lantern costumes, mostly because they’re easy, but also because they can be worn over clothing and they don’t restrict movement. The pumpkin costume usually gives an infant a pudgy look and works best with large infants. Heavy infants pull off this costume better than their thinner counter parts.

Fairies or Tinker Bell costumes are adorable on an infant. A fairy costume can be made simply by adding wings to a cute summer dress or as an alternative you can purchase a ready made fairy costume. Tinker Bell costumes give a Disney twist to this popular Halloween choice. When you dress your infant as a fairy you don’t want to include a wand that may get chewed on or poked into someone’s eyes.

Another popular costume choice is a barn yard animal such as a duck, cow or a pig. You can usually purchase an infant sleeper that has a hood with the animal’s facial features on it. These can be absolutely adorable. If you’re crafty, you could even create this type of costume yourself on a sewing machine!

Little Devils are cute as can be on Halloween. Infant devil costumes are easy to pull off at the last minute if something happens to the first costume choice too. The costume can be as simple as a red outfit and a bit of imagination. You can purchase infant size devil costumes for your little one as well.

Baby Bugs are another cute idea for infant Halloween costumes. This costume is especially adorable if your infant is just learning to crawl - the bug costume is a natural fit! You can purchase a caterpillar or lady bug costume and then let your little bug scoot across the floor of your party.

Be sure to keep in mind that your infant won’t be pleased if you choose a costume that restricts movement or covers their face There is a reason why masks aren’t included in infant Halloween costumes. You shouldn’t use face paint near the mouth or eyes on an infant if you do use any at all. Face paint is not needed with most infant Halloween costumes because the adorable costumes usually speak for themselves!
