Look around on Halloween and you'll find the streets overrun with superheroes, Disney princesses, classic monsters and other favorite characters. The good thing is that the last year has given us plenty of new, family-friendly TV series and movies, which means lots more inspiration for kids' Halloween costumes! Even if they want to go as Spider-Man year after year, for example, there are now so many variations on the Spidey costume that they can still switch it up.
So, what to look for in a Halloween costume for kids? The experts at the American Academy of Pediatrics say that, for safety, the costumes should be visible at night, so they should have a bright or reflective component (or you can consider giving the kids a Halloween glow stick). In addition, they advise parents to check and make sure that shoes fit well, hats don't cover eyes and costumes aren't too long in order to prevent tripping. They also say to watch out for pointy or sharp accessories (like swords), costumes made from materials that are not flame resistant, makeup that doesn't say "nontoxic" and decorative contact lenses.
Other than that, the field is wide open. These will be some of the most popular Halloween costumes for kids in 2022, from new, trendy characters to perennial favorites. We've included some scary ideas for the horror fans in your life, too. And, if you're looking for ideas for the rest of your family, we have costumes for babies , costumes for toddlers and family costume ideas to complete the Halloween look.
Kids Inflatable Ride-a-Dinosaur Pteranodon Costume
Your kid's classmates will go nuts for this costume the way Mei's friends went wild over her fuzzy form in Turning Red. This costume isn't out yet, but it's available for pre-order. Or, if your kids want to go full panda, you can get a one-piece red panda costume now.
Kids Obi-Wan Kenobi Costume
Ms. Marvel is one of the newest characters in the Marvel arsenal, so you haven't seen her getup done a million ways already. This outfit comes with the tunic with attached scarf, pants with boot-tops and mask.

Kids Trick 'R Treat Sam Costume
You don't have to have watched Trick 'R Treat, a Halloween anthology movie, to see that this burlap mask and patchwork bodysuit are scary as heck. It's a good compromise when they want to look scary, but you want to avoid gore.
You've seen these outside car dealerships and diners, and they never fail to make people smile. This costume inflates so kids can wave their arms around, and it also comes in blue with red hair.
Kids Top Gun: Maverick Costumes
Dressing up as an astronaut? It's been done. Going all the way to mach 10? Now that's the new hotness. These green flight suits are all kids require when they feel the need for speed.
Hey, at least it'll keep them off their screens. The costume comes with a tunic and mask — axes and swords are sold separately (thankfully).
Move over, Sonic, Knuckles and Tails! There's another hedgie in town. This one is made of fleece and comes in either beige or dark brown.
Kids Light-Up Witch Costume
Your kids can go trick-or-treating as witches year after year and still never look the same twice. This costume is special in that the tutu lights up (which, as parents, we also like from a safety perspective).

Who doesn't love a little shot of caffeine with all their sugar? Order this one for an extra kick of energy during a long night.
The Cruella movie proved there's a softer — and more fashionable — side to the Disney villain. Here's a take on one of the looks from the film that doesn't require any harm to puppies.
They'll be faster than a speeding bullet dressed up as Superman. Year in, year out, this is always a classic Halloween costume — so it's great if you're thinking of hand-me-downs. And if you want him to be joined by the rest of the Justice League, round up a Wonder Woman, Batman (or Batgirl), The Flash, Cyborg, Supergirl and Aquaman to tag along (or even DC villains like The Joker and Harley Quinn).
Kids Grogu/The Child/Baby Yoda Costume
Whether you call him Grogu, The Child, Baby Yoda or just "that little green guy," he captured your heart the moment he ate his first frog. And maybe you want a little Mando to go with it?
If you don't dig the play on words, you can also get this costume with a bacon hat for a bacon & eggs costume. Either way, it's an egg-cellent getup.
Kids Singing Baby Shark Costume
Halloween is on a Monday this year, but it'll always be Taco Tuesday in our hearts. (Unless you're feeling more like a burger instead.) This costume is a one-piece tunic, so it's good for kids who have little patience for costumes with a lot of pieces.
Kids Toothless Dragon Costume
Since all kids have a little Night Fury in them, get them dragon wings to match. You can also add a head/hat, or get additional How to Train Your Dragon family members like the Light Fury, Hiccup and/or Astrid.
Life at home is always a circus anyway! Let your kids show off their muscles with this getup, which comes with the leotard and belt. (You have to supply your own boots and barbell.)
Kids Workout Barbie Costume
Kids Violet and Dash Costumes
The two siblings from The Incredibles make for a super duo! Or, if you want to get the whole family involved, get the matching Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl adult costumes. (And don't forget about Jack Jack!)
Kids Captain America Costume
Now that the. multiverse is upon us, your kids can go in any number of combinations of Marvel heroes. Your little hero might want to dress up in this classic Captain America getup, or they could choose to go as Falcon's take on Cap instead. Then they can team up with Dr. Strange, America Chavez, Black Widow, Iron Man, Thor, Loki, Hulk, Hawkeye, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, The Vision or any of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. (And there are so many of them by now!)
Even if your child went with Elsa's iconic blue dress from Frozen in years past, and even if they went as the darker blue traveling dress from Frozen 2, there's still another Elsa look: The nearly all-white Queen Elsa dress from the end of the second movie. It's perfect for the kids who just won't let it go.
Mermaids, unicorns, fairies, garden gnomes and any other kind of mystical creature still make for popular Halloween costumes. This mermaid costume is helpful in that it has a tail, but one that doesn't make it impossible to walk.
You would have gotten to eat all the Reese's if it weren't for those meddling kids! If your family wants to go as the whole Mystery Machine gang, you can also pick up costumes of Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy. But all eyes will always be on the Great Dane — unless there's a g-g-g--ghost!
Kids Gothic Vampire Costume
Just like witches, there have been so many takes on vampires over the years, and they're still going strong. But our favorite is still of the gothic, Bram Stoker variety. (Sorry, Edward Cullen.)

Ahoy, matey! This pirate definitely boosted something that sparkles — it lights up! There's also a light-up pirate costume that comes with pants instead of a skirt. No landlubbers allowed!
