A toddler Halloween costume should be comfortable, safe, easy to move in, and ideally feature the character they're into right now. Most toddlers like bright colours, familiar characters, and soft fabrics, and they move around a lot, so avoid anything too loose or scratchy. Below are options that tick those boxes, with a mix of store-bought and adaptable ideas.
How to get the look: start with a comfortable base layer your toddler will actually wear, then add a hat, mask, or tabard to make it a costume.
