25 adorable baby Halloween costumes 😍

We searched the Internet so you don't have to.

All of your baby’s firsts will be memorable, but few are going to be as creative and fun as your baby’s first Halloween costume . You get to dress them up—elaborately or not—and introduce them to a tradition that year after year brings families together (and offers an acceptable excuse to load up on sugar ).

Sure, baby’s first trick-or-treat will probably not register in their memory bank, but it will in yours. From a classic gum ball machine costume (my personal favorite) to a clever box of Cuties, these baby costumes are as cute and clever as they come, whether you’re looking to flex your DIY skills or go costume shopping at Target.

Either way, time to make some memories, mama.

Here are some adorable baby Halloween costumes to inspire you this year:

Easy DIY baby Halloween costumes:

2. Cookie Monster

Diary of a So Cal Mama

Mmm… cookies! This super easy “no sew” DIY baby costume from Diary of a So Cal Mama involves a bright blue onesie, blue tutu, cut out felt and a hot glue gun. The matching cookie headband is a yummy addition to this deliciously adorable Cookie Monster costume.

3. Baby bat

This DIY involves purchasing a long sleeve black onesie, black and white striped leggings (or tights) and a black stocking hat. You’ll have to sew (or hot glue) 2 swatches of black fabric (cut to look like wings) and cut holes in the stocking hat for eyes. Then, use a white fabric pen or paint to make the lines and you’ve got one cute little bat costume ready to go!

Primary

Nothing like bringing the 80s back. Primary is a great resource for no-sew DIY projects, Halloween or otherwise. And in fact, cute clothes in general! This one would be so easy to put together, though I must admit the boom box seems like a crucial part of the costume.
