Dress your kid in all black, throw on a faux fur (it’s going to be cold anyway) and copy this makeup for an easy DIY black cat costume.

6. DORA THE EXPLORER

Your kid probably has a pink shirt and orange shorts in their closet anyway, right? Let them borrow your bob and you’ll be saying ‘Hola!’ to a Dora The Explorer costume.

7. DISNEY PRINCESS AND PRINCE

While people are angered that kids are dressing up as Moana for Halloween (cultural appropriation) we are here for this Prince costume! Grab your kid a white t-shirt and a cute purple blazer to complete the look. No purple blazer? Copy one of Prince’s epic outfits and add the eyeliner and waves.

8. MOOOO-ve It!

Turn your baby into the cutest cow. Grab a onesie and some black and pink felt to complete the look.

9. MIME – your own business

Make your kid a mime with a classic black and white striped shirt, some black pants, and black shoes. It’s all about the face paint with this one!

10. JAY-Z

The roc is in the building! Put your little one in a black blazer and throw on that NY Yankees fitted and pay homage to Jay-Z.

11. Not A LATTE Time

Take your Starbucks obsession to the next level.
