Mommy and Son Halloween Costumes

Ariel and Sebastian Costume

Dressing up as classic Disney characters is always a great idea. This is why if you loved The Little Mermaid as a child, you should consider dressing as Ariel and Sebastian with your baby boy.

Simply choose a seashell top and a sparkly skirt or a costume tail, and opt for a super cute crab outfit for your baby boy. You don’t have to make things too complicated, a pair of red pants, a red hoodie, a crab hat and a pair of red shoes or socks would be more than fine!

Personally, I dressed my daughter up as Ariel at 5 months old. Then, I went as flounder (I just wore a fleece hat a made to look like a fish) and my husband wore a shark fin that we got in the dollar section at target. Simple and fun for sure 🙂

Minnie and Mickey Mouse Costume

Here is another cartoon-inspired costume idea: dress up as Minnie and Mickey Mouse with your son.

Buy for yourself a Minnie Mouse outfit or create one on your own. How? Just wear a black t-shirt and a red skirt with white polka dots. Plus, add a pair of yellow high heels and a Minnie Mouse ear headband. That’s all!

When it comes to your little one, add on him a black onesie/t-shirt (depending on his age), a pair of red shorts, a hat with Mickey Mouse ears (or ear headband), and yellow socks.

Velma and Scooby-Doo Costume

Velma and Scooby-Doo are perfect costume options for Halloween. Put together your Velma outfit using the following items: an orange turtleneck sweater, a red skater skirt, a pair of black glasses, orange knee-high socks, red shoes, a magnifying glass, and a short brown bob wig with bangs. Of course, if you find it easier, you can order a pre-packaged Velma costume so you don’t have to spend time looking for all these items.

For your son, the best is to buy a Scooby-Doo jumpsuit. Don’t worry, these costumes are available both for babies and older kids as well!

Where’s Waldo Costume

Professor McGonagall and Hermione Costume

If you want to play it safe, dressing up as one of the characters appearing in the Harry Potter movies is always a crowd pleaser. While most people think about Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, or Albus Dumbledore as the main options to choose from, there are so many other great characters in the movie you could consider as well.  Just think about the amazing Professor Minerva McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor House.

Fortunately, you don’t have to give up your idea of dressing as one of the Harry Potter characters just because you prefer Mommy and me costumes. You can dress with your daughter as Professor McGonagall (black dress, green cloak over the shoulders, a hat, and replica wand) and Hermione. Most likely, you will have great success at the Halloween party!
