Top 10 Kids Halloween Costumes
As the Halloween season nears, parents scramble to find or make their child the perfect kids Halloween costume if they haven't come up with an idea of what they want to be. This year, there are certain comic books, movies, and novels that are influencing the choices of kids. However, don't worry parents - you'd be surprised on how many classic Halloween costumes are still standing strong. Below you will find a list of some of the top Halloween costumes for children below:
1) Harry Potter
JK Rowlings recently released the final installment in her series of Harry Potter books, making this Halloween season the perfect time to pay homage to one of the most popular book series for people of all ages. Popular Harry Potter costumes include Potter himself, as well as other unforgettable characters - Hermione, Dumbledore, and Ron.
2) Wizard of Oz
This classic tale of "no place like home" has sparked a slew of worthy kids costumes that span Dorothy, Glenda the Good Witch, the Wicked Witch, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. Parents - don't forget the "ruby slippers," picnic basket, and Toto when creating your very own Dorothy.
3) Pirate
The Pirates of the Caribbean films have attracted quite the following among children, who race to become swashbucklers with eye patches, face makeup, tattered clothes, parrot on the shoulder, and sword.
4) Princess or Queen
Most little girls take pleasure in dressing up in long, pink dresses with a tiara decorating the top of their head. What better time to live out this childhood fantasy than on Halloween? With a sparkling scepter in hand, your daughter can feel like true royalty. Usually, young girls are interested in becoming princesses, but some go for the gusto and eye the costume of a queen. This costume is less "cutesy" but still allows your child to "dress up" in style.
5) Witch
Becoming a witch is a classic kids costume for Halloween that is quite easy to achieve when wearing a crooked black hat and convincing face paint, as well as carry around a broom in order to get into character.

And Of Course, There Are Some More Classics
6) Clown
Younger children (whether they like it or not) are dressed as a clown because of the happy, bright colors that parents are attracted to. As they get older, they are more accepting of this costume choice when they play around with the big, funny shoes, colorful wigs, and the flower that squirts out water in the faces of their friends.
7) Super Hero
With all of the comic books being turned into movies, children are eager to recreate these men of steel and other characters possessing superhuman strength and powers. Some of the most popular costume selections include Spiderman, the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Superman.
8) Disney
For many years, Walt Disney has been entertaining the masses with their delightful and memorable cast of characters. Each Halloween - it never fails - there is a Snow White, Cinderella, Aladdin, or Lion King walking the streets in search of candy.
9) Vampire
While the scary movies portray vampires as gruesome creatures, kids still have an interest in working the fake fangs and wearing the long black cape.
10) Animals
One of the easiest costumes for parents to purchase, pull off, or create at home is the ones that transform their children into animals. Some of the top choices include pigs, dogs (especially Dalmatians), cows, black cats, bunny rabbits, frogs, lions, and tigers.
