Ever since the leaves started to turn and pumpkin spice crept back into our lives, we've been counting down the days to Halloween! With school back in session and that crisp fall breeze in the air, plus the launch of our biggest Halloween Collection yet, it's time to dive headfirst into costume creativity and candy-filled fun.
Memorable costumes don't need to be super pricey or complicated. With a little planning and Little Sleepies PJs & Play clothes, the possibilities are as bountiful as a bag full of Halloween candy!
Ready to get inspired? Here are some of our favorite DIY Halloween costumes this year!
Think Pink
—Hi, Barbie! Have your little one dress up in a look straight from the dreamhouse with a pair of our Heather Mauve PJs. Layer on a Pink Tutu, and finish the look with a matching Luxe Bow Headband and some sparkly accessories.
—The sky's the limit with this adorable space explorer costume. Starting with Pink To The Moon & Back or Pink Space Explorers PJs as the base layer, add a silver or white helmet, some DIY rocket boosters made from cardboard and foil, and silver gloves. They'll be ready to blast off to any Halloween party!

Spooky Sweet Solids
Your favorite pair of LS Solid PJs and a few accessories can turn your little pumpkins into some of their favorite characters!
—Transform your child into the delightfully spooky Wednesday Addams with Solid Black PJs, a Black Tutu, pigtailed hair, and their best unimpressed stare.
—Are you taking a family trip to Disney's Mickey's Halloween Party? Solid Black PJs, a Minnie Mouse Luxe Bow, red tutu, face paint, white gloves, and a touch of pixie dust and suddenly you have the cutest (and coziest) Disney's Minnie Mouse!
—Create the purr-fect kitty costume with any Solid PJs or Play clothes, face paint for a nose and whiskers, and a Cat Ears Luxe Bow or Cat Ears Infant Beanie as the finishing touch.
For the Newest Member of the Family
—Your baby's first Halloween will be Jaws-droppingly cute with this baby shark costume! All you need is a Heather Gray Sleepy Bag with a DIY shark headband to create the cutest little baby shark! If you have a school of sharks at home, add Heather Gray and Blue PJs for an adorable, coordinated family look.
—Is your little one just getting the hang of walking? Use their favorite bodysuit, jogger, and jacket for their outfit. Glue some cotton balls to an old hat or ball cap (Or, if you still have one of their swaddles, you can fold that up to make a head scarf). Pair it with their favorite walker and you've got the coziest grandparent in town. Have grandma or grandpa match their outfit for even more fun!
