50 Kids Who Took Costumes To Another Level And “Won” Halloween
If it were up to kids, every day would be Halloween. Just think about it: they are encouraged to go from door to door and ask for candy, they are allowed to eat buckets of it (and even if not, they can still hide their stash), they can dress up as the craziest things and be applauded for it.
Speaking of the latter, if you want to see real Halloween action, you gotta look at kids making their costumes, because oh em gee, these little daredevils are competitive (just like their parents!).
So just in time for the spooky night of 2022, Bored Panda wrapped up some of the most entertaining, creative and hands-down jaw-dropping kids' Halloween costumes below. Scroll down, upvote your favorite ones and let the inspiration in!

What do you think ?

My favorites are the ones where you can tell it was the kid's idea, and the costume is practical to trick-or-treat in. Some of these look like they were made more for the parents to post on social media than anything else--which is fine up to a point, but when I see an elaborate costume of a Gen-X cultural referent on a small kid, I can't help wondering whether the kid was actually having fun.
Anita Pickle 3 years ago
Agreed! The post made it sound like kids made the costumes… which sounded super fun! But nope, mostly babies or toddlers in elaborate costume representing characters who they do not know nor care about. Still neat, but it should be called parents who took their kids costume to another level.
