Halloween is one of the most exciting nights of the year, no matter how old you are! For adults, it's a chance to watch your favorite scary movies and maybe steal a piece of candy or two. For kids, it's all about the trick-or-treating, games, and Halloween treats. Above all else, the holiday is an excuse for everyone (and we mean the whole family!) to dress up as anything or anyone they want for the night. That also means that the most coveted kids' costumes fly off the racks in stores, and chances are your rapidly growing toddler has sized out of last year's costume. If you don't want to end up furiously stitching a ghost costume out of an old sheet the night before the holiday, it's time to check out the best toddler Halloween costumes.

We don't want to knock baby costumes or DIY couples costumes, but toddler costumes may just be the cutest. Have you seen a toddler waddling around as a furry ghost? Or a pint-sized Disney princess? We've found costumes for boys and girls, as well as unisex costumes that everyone can enjoy. If you want to throw it back to the 2000s, Boo from Monsters, Inc. is the cutest choice. Tots obsessed with the most popular shows and movies today will love a Catboy suit or an Encanto-inspired dress. We also have classic options like pumpkins and witches. No matter what you choose, the family pics will be scary cute!
