2022 Halloween costume ideas for kids: Spiderman, Mandalorian, Little Mermaid, Top Gun...

Kids generally don’t need an excuse to dress up like their favorite characters. With Halloween coming up in just a week, we know how handy last-minute costumes come in, especially for the parents. Since this is the one night that all the kids around the world can choose anything or anyone they want to be, we want to give them some costume inspiration to pick out their favorites for Halloween 2022.

We’ve put together a few classics, originals and DIY costumes, some of which are influenced by trending Halloween costumes’ searches, our favorite creative ideas, and new movies.

Spiderman

As Halloween outfits go, Spiderman is about as classic as it gets. New found popularity from the most recent Spiderman film.

Star Wars

With such a varied universe there are so many Star Wars costumes to choose from. Although groups like the 501st legion have amazing but expensive outfits though kids don’t need to spend so much to look as good. A dressing gown with the hood pulled up makes a convincing jedi!

The popularity of The Mandalorian may convince kids to dress up as Grogu (read Baby Yoda).

Little Mermaid

Disney announced yet another remake of an animated classic back in September as the Little Mermaid will be coming to cinemas in 2023. Halle Bailey has been cast as Ariel, igniting a racist firestorm on social media as people attacked her inclusion.

However, a pushback against the trolls showed reactions of black children reacting to a Disney princess that reflects them.

Stranger Things

The fourth series of Stranger Things came out in 2022 featuring a young cast. It gives plenty of opportunities for youngsters to dress up as the heroes and villains.

We hope we’ve helped with some ideas for the weekend. Remember, at the end of the day, the best part about Halloween for kids is all the candy that goes around.
