Princess is the number one thing most girls love to dress up as . . . Anytime of the year! It doesn’t matter if it’s a Disney princess or a unicorn princess, little girls love them!! Becoming Princess Jasmine, Princess Anna, or Elsa the Snow Queen for the day creates a magical experience and lots of great memories.

Both girls and boys LOVE, LOVE, LOVE superheroes!! There are so many to choose from but the most popular ones for 2019 are Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Black Panther & Spiderman. With so many superheroes to choose from it really boils down to your little one’s preference.

TV Show Characters
Anyone who has a little one knows that Paw Patrol is one of their absolute favorites. My 2-year old and I actually went to the Live Paw Patrol show here in Fort Lauderdale, FL a couple of months ago and loved it! There were tons of kids there and they were going crazy for paw patrol. This makes for one of the best kid’s costumes for 2019.

DIY Costumes
You could decide to do something minimal and go with a Cape and Mask or you can get really creative with a DIY Halloween costume for the kiddos (using stuff you already have at home).
Masks & Capes
Going the DIY route can be really fun! It would probably be ideal to make Halloween costumes from things that you have at home and/or pay under $20. I’ve asked a few other mommy bloggers what their best DIY costumes are . . .
Game of Thrones Inspired
Even though we won’t be seeing any new episodes of Game of Thrones we all are forever fans of the show. Isobel Benesch and her boys at BelandBeau.com killed it one year by dressing up as a Mother of Dragons and Dragons.
The Incredibles
Dressing up as The Incredibles is really fun and a great choice because the little ones can dress up as baby Jack, Violet or Dash OR the entire family can participate like Tabitha and her family at FreshMommyBlog.com.
Forky (Toy Story)
Karen at desertchica.com shows us how she created Forky from the Toy Story. Kids love the Toy Story and all their characters.
Dark Vader (Star Wars)
Dark Vader is an all-time classic! Sara at momendeavors.com shows us how to create Dark Vader. This can actually be made for anyone if the family.
