It’s officially spooky season! With Halloween right around the corner, I’ve taken to Pinterest to gather some cute costume ideas for myself and my son. My baby boy turns one a week before Halloween, and we (mostly his dad) are very excited to put him in his first costume. For starters, our baby boy was only a week old when Halloween rolled around last year, and ya know, the pandemic, so this year is extra special for us. Our little man is walking like an absolute champ just in time for the holiday, though not quite old enough for candy, Dad is really looking forward to it.
These mom and son Halloween costume ideas include one for every mom. Whether you’re the basic mom who isn’t super into dressing up but you know you need a costume (me), or you’re the crafty mom ready to get your DIY on, the funny mom who would never miss an opportunity to give people a good laugh, or the extra mom who would rather die than miss an opportunity to look cute with their kid. Whatever you’re vibe is, there should be at least a little bit of inspiration on this list for your mom and son Halloween costumes.
Beetle Juice
Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice… Get this spookie mother and son Halloween look easily. You probably already have half of what you need around the house, and the other half should only require a quick Target run!
Bank Robber
We love to see a bad ass mom. This mom and me costume is feisty, and just so happens to let mom go hands free with the baby carrier! With a little creativity you can transform your carrier of choice into the perfect costume for baby.
Sun & Rainbow
This one is for the crafty moms. This mommy and me DIY is the perfect mom and son Halloween costume for anyone crafty and cute.
Thing 1 and Thing 2
Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat is a classic. And as an added bonus this adorable mom and me Halloween costume is relatively easy to pull off!
Shark Week
When I say I spit my drink when I came across this hilarious mom and son costume on Pinterest it was no exaggeration. This hilarious take on breastfeeding meets shark attack meets baby shark is guaranteed to be an absolute winner at any Halloween gathering.
Spiderman & Spiderwoman
For the moms who live for a good matching outfit with their baby. This mother and son Halloween costume is perfect! Spiderman is a classic and easily accessible costume that lets everyone look cute.
The Incredibles
Another superhero moment, this mom and son costume is freaking adorable!
Jessie & Woody
This one is for the mom who is the definition of “extra”. Sure, Woody and Jessie is an adorable mom and son costume in its own right. But, this version is 100% the definition of extra. It is sassy, Instagram worthy, and for sure destined for some compliments.
Beauty and the Beast
It doesn’t get any sweeter than this mother and son rendition of beauty and the beast. This costume is very much so a heart warmer, and perfect for any mother and son duo.
Lilo & Stitch
Disney, home to some of the best children’s Halloween costume inspo, also inspires this casual and cute costume. That little blue guy is none other than Stitch, yes, of Lilo and Stich. And mom over there is miss Lilo!
The Stork and the Baby
This heartwarming costume is perfect for any new mom who is up for a trip out of the house with their newborn on Halloween. So simple, to the point, and sweet!
Fred & Daphne
Maybe I am biased toward this Daphne and Fred ensemble because I was a Scooby-Doo lover as a little kid and I still get excited to sit with my son and watch Scooby-Doo reruns on Netflix, but I think this is a total winner.
Scarecrow
There’s no shame in being basic. This mom and son scarecrow costume can easily be thrown together with items you might have hanging around the house, or that can be easily found at a dollar store or your local Target. Convenient for the last minute moms out there (me).
The Barista and Latte
This might be niche, but, there are a lot of Starbuck’s fanatics out there. If you can’t survive without your daily venti latte then this costume might be pretty fitting.
Jessie & Buzz
The Toy Story remix… this time around we have mom dressed as Jessie, and son dressed as none other than Buzz!
Star Wars
My knowledge on all things Star Wars is extremely minimal (basically anything that didn’t happen in the Mandalorian is completely foreign to me) but I know enough to know that this mother and son costume is CUTE!
Velma & Scooby
Another Scooby Doo inspired costume, this one perfect for the mom’s with a little one who is not yet mobile. Get crafty and transform your everyday baby carrier into a cute costume for your little one.
