The best kids ghost costumes for any time of the year

By

When looking for the right ghost costumes, you have to think about a few characteristics. First, make sure that the costume will fit your child. Will your child look better in something plush and cute? Or would your child want something more involved and spookier? The costume’s fabric will also dictate if they will be cooled down all night or sweating under the collar. Most of all, your child should enjoy the way the costume looks and feels.

Ghouls and ghosts are great choices for a costume. Ever since the concept of ghosts came about, you would find ghost costume kid DIY projects littered across the streets. These were usually just bedsheets with holes cut out of them. These bedsheets wouldn’t be the best choice, and many parents found themselves with hole-riddled sheets the morning after. Now we have the benefits of costume and design innovations to our advantage when it comes to new costumes.

You can't go wrong with the traditional look of the AMSCAN Ghost Costume. The cape is made to be worn over the head.
