Did you know that it's Halloween today? We here at Bored Panda certainly do, we've done everything from vintage to couple's costumes, babies, one-legged guys and pregnant women too.
Of course, there is always room for more so here is a list of some kids dressed up in their coolest costumes. These lucky boys and girls have got some seriously dedicated and creative parents on their side, and were sure to have attracted plenty of candy on their trick or treats! Perhaps you can find some last-minute inspiration here if your young-un still hasn't made their choice?
What was your favorite costume when you were a kid? Did you make it yourself, or nag the parents to make it for you? Let us know in the comments below!

Baby Grandma Costume
So my comment got deleted?? I only said I saw marshmallows but that you’re probably right that it’s cotton. Ok BoredPanda... marshmallows are bought a lot in fall but admitting I didn’t first realize it was cotton... soo bad.. thanks

Load More Replies...On one hand, this is some seriously awesome costume making. On the other, I see at least two kids that are definitely scarred for life.
I don't know, at that age, I don't think it is okay to subject other kids to that.
The kid actually IN it doesn't look too happy either. Must suck when all the other kids are so afraid of you, they won't play with or talk to you.

HS crabs are cool and they have useful blue blood! This is amazing. Wonder what the parent does for a day job? Also, what made the kid want to be an HSC?
We just recently went to the Gatlinburg Aquarium and learned that they kind of swim/crawl on each other and hitch rides. And the males are smaller. Also, kids are way less scared of touching them than I am. A sweet little girl helped me get courage to touch one and then the jelly fish.

I hope that if he chooses a political career, he becomes President, just so he can show off this picture!

5y Girl As Pennywise
I always wonder why 4 year olds know what and who pennywise is.Do you people let them watch that movie...?
They see it everywhere. They may not even know exactly who it is. My son is 7 and calls it the creepy It Clown and he is in love with it. Neither of my boys have seen the movies but they hear about it. My 7year old loves Halloween and being scary. He ended up being a creepy jester that he called "Jeff the Killer" and carried a red balloon and a knife for the sole purpose of creeping people out and scaring them. Next year he plans on being the It Clown. Some kids are just very weird with their view on being creepy for Halloween. My son is the black sheep of our family for Halloween. Lol.

Load More Replies...This Girl Dressed Up As Billy From Strangers Things
Do these little kids know who they're dressing as? Do their parents let them watch these shows? Surely at that age they would rather be SpongeBob than Billy from ST? Kinds feels like its the parents making the decision for 'likes' on their Instagram or Facebook.
I hated SpongeBob as a kid. My go to movies were horror films. Alien, Species, I would fall asleep to Jurassic Park. My favorite movie to watch was actually The Mummy. I went as a vampire, zombie cheerleader, zombie bride, a witch, a princess bitten by a vampire (my mom) for Halloween when I was a kid.
Load More Replies...Not really, if you think about it and the lesson is everyone has some good in them, them sure. But in the show, Billy was redeemable and saved eleven. He came through in the end.

References to it are everywhere. i've not seen the movie and I never will (I get serious nightmares from horror movies) but I know who and what that is. Some films become so iconic, they are just part of general culture.

Many truly great costumes and many enthusiastic and hard wokring parents behind them. But I truly love the kids that want to dress up as something totally mundane, like a salad or a road or a fart. those really make me laugh.

Load More Replies...I purchased a simple lion costume for my son's first Halloween. He refused to wear it and went out wearing his normal clothing. When asked what he was, he said, in a no nonsense, don't mess with me voice, "I am two !" Nobody questioned him.
These are all well executed, but for too many it seems like the parent are making the kids dress up in costumes only relevant to the parents. No 4 year old should know or appreciate Game of Thrones Characters. Or Stranger Things. Some of these feel a little too much like its done to boost the parent's Social Media presence and not to make a child happy.
You'd be amazed how many things small kids pick up. And even though they don't watch the show can be totally obsessed with a poster or other image from it. I mean there is so much material out there with Jon Snow that looks very cool.
Load More Replies...WOW! Most of these are so much better and more creative than the ones in the celebrety post. And they have so much money to spend....these kids won Halloween!
These costumes are great. Many are handmade and way better than the costumes worn by the celebrities at a fraction of the price.
First, The kids dressed up as horror movie figures probably haven't seen the movies. The fun is making a cool costume to trick or treat with the parents. Second, people are missing the point. Halloween, like numerous children's tales full of blood and murder, don't teach kids about monsters. For children, the world and especially the night is full of scary monsters as it is. They teach them monsters can be confronted and defeated.
