Alice
This is an Alice cosplay, familiar from Alice in Wonderland.
Alice cosplay is so popular it could be called a classic, and costumes are easy to find.
In addition to the main character Alice, we also recommend cosplaying the Cheshire Cat or the Mad Hatter!
Wally
If you’re looking for a simple yet eye-catching costume, how about “Wally” from the picture book series Where’s Wally? (Where’s Waldo in the U.S.)? Wally, known for his red-and-white striped clothes and hat, can be easily recreated with affordable items.
Depending on your child’s age, you can also add round glasses if they don’t mind wearing them.
It’s a costume that both boys and girls can enjoy, and it’s great for kids who don’t like restrictive outfits!
Mario
The costume of Mario—better known as Super Mario, now a globally recognized character—is perfect for Halloween because it’s instantly recognizable.
With a red cap, a red shirt, and navy overalls, anyone will know at a glance that you’re Mario!

Rapunzel
When it comes to Disney Princesses, they’re the eternal dream of many girls.
Here we’re introducing a cosplay of Rapunzel, the beloved heroine of Disney’s animated film Tangled.
Don’t you want to become her at least once, with her striking long hair and purple dress? While Halloween is traditionally about dressing up as something scary, it’s perfectly fine if it’s a Halloween party with friends.
Go ahead and transform into the princess you’ve always admired!
witch
When it comes to Halloween costumes, many people probably think of a “witch.” It’s a very popular choice for both adults and children.
Just wearing a pointed hat and a dark-colored dress gives you the right look.
With a little extra effort—like using Halloween colors overall or choosing child-friendly fabrics—you can make it even cuter.
Ana
This is a cosplay of Anna from Disney’s hit film Frozen, which became a social phenomenon.
Anna has a different, charming appeal from her older sister Elsa, and I’m sure many girls absolutely love her! Halloween is the perfect chance to transform into Anna—why not give it a try? It’s a popular cosplay, so costumes are available for purchase, which is reassuring even for parents who aren’t confident with sewing.
jack-o’-lantern
When it comes to Halloween, you can’t leave out the jack-o’-lantern! This costume looks absolutely adorable on babies around 0 to 1 year old—you can’t help but stare.
It’s an easy outfit that even seems doable as a DIY, yet the bright orange really stands out and makes a statement! If you want to dress your little one up for Halloween even though they’re still a baby, this is a great choice.
It’s a gender-neutral costume, too!
