It’s fall, and we’re approaching the spookiest time of the year, Halloween! You’ve come to the right place if you’re trying to find some cute, simple, or maybe a little EXTRA family Halloween costume ideas. We’ve rounded up some family Halloween costumes you can coordinate, whether your children are still babies or are a little older.
Growing up, my dad would always transform our family’s home driveway into a haunted house for the neighborhood. While I was never a fan of being scared myself, it was fun to see the enjoyment it brought to kids and adults all over the community!
Now that I’m an adult and have my own little ones, I’m not so into the spookiness, but I love getting dressed up in matching family costumes together.
Year after year, I find myself on Pinterest trying to come up with clever ideas based on the current characters my kids are into, which is what inspired me to make this post. I hope you find some fun ideas below, and if none of them are what you’re looking for, I hope it gives you inspiration to dress up with your kids and enjoy this fun time of the year.
