Oh These Baby Halloween Costumes !!! I’m having so much fun with Halloween this year! Sometimes we just need to break out of the reality of our lives and live in the SILLY!
That’s how I’m feeling lately. I need a break from real life drama and looking for some fun, smiles, giggles and belly laughs. Not much more fun than seeing babies in their first year or two of Halloween costumes!
No need to break the bank either friends!
Don’t have time to make your baby’s costume yourself? Check out these cheap options that are already done by clicking here.
1. Baby Cow Costume
Alright, picture this: your little one waddling around in a tiny cow costume, complete with adorable little udders. The giggles you’ll get from everyone who sees them will be priceless!
To make this costume, grab a white onesie, some black felt for spots, and a cute cow hat (yes, with ears!). Cut out cow spots from the felt and glue them onto the onesie.
Attach the udders using soft fabric or cotton balls glued onto a small strip of cloth, then sew or glue this strip to the onesie. Top it off with that sweet cow hat, and you’re done.
Moo-ve over, other costumes—this one’s the cream of the crop!
2. Baby Chicken Costume
Ready to cluck your way into the cutest Halloween ever? This DIY chicken costume is egg-actly what you need!
Start with a white or yellow onesie as the base. You’ll need some feather boas in your chosen color—yellow, white, or even a fun color like pink or blue. Sew or hot glue the boas around the onesie, leaving room for your baby’s face and hands. Create a beak with felt and attach it to a headband or hat, and add some googly eyes for that hilarious, wide-eyed chicken look.
Finish off with some orange felt sewn or glued into tiny chicken feet that fit over baby’s shoes. Voila! You’ve hatched the most adorable chick on the block.
3. Baby Max Costume
Who doesn’t love the wild and whimsical world of “Where The Wild Things Are”? This Max costume is a nod to that adventurous spirit.
Start with a white footed onesie or sleeper. You’ll need some white felt for the hood, a crown made from gold fabric or cardboard wrapped in gold foil, and a tail made from gray or white faux fur.
Sew or glue the felt onto the hood to make ears, attach the crown securely, and sew or glue the tail to the back of the onesie. Draw whiskers on your baby’s cheeks with face paint, and let them explore their very own wild rumpus!
4. Baby Donut Costume.
Sweet, sugary, and absolutely delightful—your baby will be the tastiest treat around in this donut costume!
Get a tan or light brown onesie as the base. Cut out two large circles from felt, one for the front and one for the back of the donut, with a hole in the middle.
Use pink felt for frosting, and decorate it with colorful felt pieces to look like sprinkles. Sew or glue the donut pieces onto the onesie, and you have yourself a little donut!
For extra fun, make a donut hat by covering a small hat with the same frosting and sprinkles felt. Now, who’s ready for some sugar rush?
If you want to go the easy route you can just buy (or make) a small donut pillow and attach it to your baby’s onesie.
5. Baby Where’s Waldo Costume
Running short on time but still want a costume that’s a hit? This Where’s Waldo costume is quick, easy, and oh-so-fun! Grab a red and white striped onesie or shirt and a pair of blue pants.
You’ll need a red and white striped hat (or make one with fabric or paper), and some round glasses. Don’t forget Waldo’s signature accessory—a little cane made from a stick or rolled-up paper.
Dress your baby in the outfit, pop on the hat and glasses, and you’re all set. Snap a picture because everyone will want to know, “Where’s Waldo?”
6. Superhero Baby Halloween Costume
