Super Mario Halloween Costume for Kids

As Halloween approaches, you'll want to find something appropriate for your child. If she's really young, you'll be able to pick out the costume for her, but once she starts talking, she'll likely have some input of her own.

When considering kids Halloween costumes, you want to look at more than just the cuteness factor. Consider what the weather in your area is likely to be when your child is dressed for trick-or-treating. Certain costumes may be too hot for the Southern California sunshine or too light for the potential snow in Maine. Your child's costume should also not obstruct her view or make it difficult to breathe. Fortunately, many kids costumes keep these things in mind.

Sesame Street Costumes

Sesame Street costumes are perfect for the toddler set, as they'll be able to dress up like their favorite characters from the show. Costumes for characters like Oscar, Elmo, Big Bird or Cookie Monster are typically furry, so they're ideal for the colder climates. An Abby Cadabby costume will allow your little girl to fulfill her fairy fantasies. Best of all, the characters are timeless, so you'll be able to save the costume for younger siblings.

Star Wars Costumes

Who doesn't want to relive their own childhood by dressing up their kids in Star Wars costumes? A child with heroic aspirations might enjoy being Han Solo, Luke Skywalker or Princess Leia. Darth Vader is also a popular choice. Yoda and Ewok costumes are perfect for babies and toddlers. Having each family member dress up as a different character is a fantastic group idea, making for memorable photos.

Superman Costumes

Faster than a speeding bullet, a Superman costume is ideal for superhero fans. Kids will love having the full costume, complete with cape and boots. Another take on the Superman costume idea, though, is to have your child dress like Clark Kent, wearing a Superman shirt underneath a partially-buttoned dress shirt along with dark-rimmed glasses.

Super Mario and Luigi Costumes

As kids get older and their tastes start changing, video games start coming into play. Super Mario and Luigi may have been around for many years, but they're still kid favorites. You can easily do this at home with a red or green shirt and overalls, but store-bought costumes will also include hats and big fake mustaches. This is a cute costume idea when you have two children, but other children could be other Mario-related characters, like Princess Peach or Wario.

Getting together a great Halloween costume for your child can take a little bit of time and money, but the best thing about costumes for kids is that most kids will want to wear them long past Halloween. You'll certainly get a lot of use out of whatever costume you choose.
