Your Kid Will Look Adorable as a Real Estate Agent
A lot of parents like to dress their kids in typical Halloween costumes, like a cat, a superhero, or a clown. That’s all well and good, but for parents or kids with a more playful sense of humor, why not go with something funnier and bolder? Here are the 20 funniest Halloween costumes for kids that guarantee a laugh.
1. Tiny Barista
Let your kid rock an apron, a fake name tag, and a toy coffee cup while shouting convoluted latte orders. Make sure they act tired after their long shift at Starbucks to really sell it. While trick-or-treating, they can also address people by the wrong name or just call people, “Marc with a C”.
2. Baby Office Worker
For this costume, find a tiny suit for your baby, place a pair of glasses on their face, and get them to hold a coffee mug labeled “World’s Best Boss”.
3. Toddler Tax Accountant
This one is a classic. All your toddler needs is a calculator, glasses, and a stack of “1040” papers. Teach them to yell, “I missed a deduction” every time they pass someone, and you’re guaranteed a laugh.
4. Little Real Estate Agent
Get your kid to wear a bright-colored blazer and carry a clipboard, fake business cards, and everyone will ask them to take care of their upcoming open house and why their listing isn’t generating more interest.
5. Mini Games of Thrones Character
Parents have a lot of characters to choose from here. You can go with a little version of Jon Snow or Daenerys. Items you might need include a faux fur cape, a plastic sword, a toy dragon, and an intense stare.
6. Itty Bitty Influencer
If you want your kid to dress as a social media influencer for Halloween, you’ll need stylish sunglasses, a toy smartphone, and a big attitude. You can also add a ring light prop and a sticker that says “#Sponsored”.

7. Mini Lawyer
Teach your kid to yell, “Objection”, as they trick-or-treat in their tiny blazer, toy gavel, and briefcase. Even get them to negotiate more candy for the fun of it and to lean into the costume.
8. Baby Chef Gordon Ramsay
To dress your kid as the celebrity chef who loves to yell, get them a little chef’s coat, a toy spatula, and a plastic pan. Just make sure you give them family-friendly soundbites, like “it’s raw!”, and avoid Ramsay’s tendency to swear.
9. Little Grandma at Bingo
This costume is easy to put together and always gets a laugh. You’ll need a gray wig, big glasses on a chain, a floral dress, pearls, and a cardigan. That’s it, and it’ll go over like gangbusters with your neighbors.
10. Mini News Anchor
For this one, dress your kid in formal wear with a microphone labeled “Channel 5 News”. They can report live from the candy line, which kids and adults will love, or keep asking for weather and sports updates.
11. Tiny Hipster Artist
This costume is contemporary and looks amazing. Dress your kid in a beanie, a fake mustache, and have them hold a paint palette. They can even hand out “limited-edition” crayons or crayon art to trick-or-treaters.
12. Baby Fitness Influencer
Babies, toddlers, and pre-teens will look great dressed up as a fitness influencer or instructor. Get them neon workout clothes, a headband, and an empty protein shake bottle. You can also outfit them with a sign that reads, “Just Crushed Leg Day”, or “Cardio = Walking To More Houses”.
13. Little Movie Director
For this one, you can pick an iconic-looking director like Alfred Hitchcock or Steven Spielberg, or opt for a more generic but still awesome look. For the generic director costume, you’ll need a black turtleneck, a toy slate, and a toy megaphone. They can yell, “Action!” every time someone opens their door to give them some candy.
14. Mini CEO
Kids who like to be the boss or act like little dictators should dress as a mini CEO for Halloween. You’ll need a small suit, sunglasses, a toy cell phone, and they’ll have to walk around with an air of importance and a touch of entitlement.
15. Little ‘80s Rock Star
Let your kid trick-or-treat as Jon Bon Jovi, a member of Mötley Crüe, or another ‘80s rock star whom they’ve never heard of. All they’ll need is a big wig, band tee, and toy guitar or microphone. This kid’s costume will make for some fun Halloween pics that you’ll want to look at for years.
16. Tiny Therapist
Put your kid in a sweater vest, glasses, and have them hold a small notebook and pen. Teach them how to do a serious nod as people speak, or when someone opens the door to give them candy. When asked what they’re dressed as, they can reply: “How does that question make you feel?”.
17. Kid in Midlife Crisis
This costume is hilarious and relatable. Dress your kid in a leather jacket and have them walk around in a convertible car box while holding a fake “dream job” brochure. It’s the ideal mix of tragic and funny, and in a way that only a toddler can pull off.
18. Kid Julia Child
Your kid can easily look like one of the most iconic celebrity chefs of all time. You’ll need pearls, a wig, an apron, and a toy whisk. Get them to yell “Bon appétit” in a French accent. It’ll be amazing.
19. Little Bob Ross
This classic adult costume can easily be worn by a kid if you’re looking for laughs. Put a curly wig on them, dress them in a flannel shirt, and have them carry a paintbrush and palette. They can talk about “happy little pumpkins” all night.

20. Toddler Weather Reporter
For this costume, you’ll need a tiny raincoat, a microphone, and a mini fan for blowing their hair as if they’re doing a live storm coverage. Make sure they give adults in your neighborhood fake forecasts throughout the night.
