Storybook and Fairytale Costumes
Once upon a time, there was a very puzzled shopper who didn’t know what they wanted to be for Halloween (that’s you). Magically, a fairy godmother appeared (that’s us) and showed the customer how to make their Halloween as enchanting as possible. We pointed a glowing wand to our selection of storybook and fairytale costumes and guided them to their happily ever after. Once they locked eyes with these whimsical designs, they became inspired by all the fairytale costume ideas. So please, take some time to peruse our fairytale costumes until you find the one that sweeps you off your feet. We have a feeling it will be love at first sight!

The magical island is occupied by all kinds of residents, from mermaids and fairies to pirates and Lost Boys, so of course kids want to experience all the excitement this magical island has to offer. If your little one wants to engage in (pretend) sword fights and hang out with a group of kids who camp out in treehouses every night, then a Peter Pan costume is the perfect get-up. However, if your son is more prone to living “the pirate’s life”, then donning a Captain Hook costume would be more appropriate. He’ll love using his pirate hook accessory to indicate where to fill his Halloween treat bag.
Cat in the Hat Costumes
If you have a little one who loves to read and rhyme, then these Cat in the Hat costumes are guaranteed to supply them with the best time. (See what we did there?) Chances are your son or daughter learned how to read thanks to Dr. Seuss’ popular series of children books, so these storybook costume ideas can make their favorite literary characters spring to life. Both boys and girls will love wearing the soft cat jumpsuit with the attached bow tie and the coordinating red and white striped top hat. However, rambunctious kids might have more fun by dressing in a Thing 1 or Thing 2 costume. Just keep an eye on them so they don’t fly a kite in the house or knock down everything in their path!
