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!

Prints That Are Spook-tacular

Spook-tacular dinosaurs and whimsical garden fairies will add some magic into your kiddos' Halloween.

—Combine Secret Garden PJs and Pink Tutu with fairy wings for an enchanting garden fairy look! Accessorize with a wand, and glue some faux flowers picked by your little fairy to a headband for an adorable DIY flower crown!

—For the dino-obsessed kiddos, stomp like a dinosaur in Jurassic Jungle pajamas. DIY a tail and claws with some cardboard, markers, felt, and gloves to complete the look!

Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

Have a little movie lover under your roof? Create a cute costume inspired by Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas!

—Our Disney Jack Skellington Zip Hoodie makes for the perfect costume base. Add Black Joggers and face paint, and you've got a look that's sure to delight.

—If Sally's their favorite character, we've got just the thing! Snag a cozy and colorful Disney Sally's Patchwork Twirl Dress, add a red wig or child-safe temporary red hair coloring, and face paint stitches to complete the look.

For a picture-perfect finishing touch to your kiddo's Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired look, add a snuggly Lovey!

    I love the idea of using LS with our costumes. I think it’s too hot in the south to do that, but maybe I’ll use my PJ’s as my whole costume this year!

    We enjoy little sleepies. Very soft fabric and good options which make them a favorite for many parents. It’s great to find a brand that consistently delivers on quality and variety, so we don’t have to shop around elsewhere.

    We love Little Sleepies for a baby girl. Whenever I would buy prints my husband would want them for us. So we are a fmaily of Little Sleepies! Now we get seasonal Little Sleepies for my niece, nephew, and niece doggy for Christmas. They are the best. We also branched out to the play clothes. They are also amazing and so comfy. We always get so many comments when my daughter wears them but even when my husband and I wear them too! 🥰

    Little Sleepies have become my favorite way to celebrate the little moments that make life special! We love coordinating our family jams around vacation, holidays, cabin time, and the seasons. The prints bring us so much joy and they are the coziest and comfiest pajamas ever!

    I will be dressing my granddaughter in the cow print for Halloween, plus adding her rooster, cow and pig loveys in a basket for a farm theme.

    I love how there’s so many color options to put our baby’s in that’ll go perfectly under any costume, and be so warm and cozy! My almost 3 year old baby boy is gonna be a kitty cat for Halloween this year, and the black sleepie is perfect underneath! I’ll be having baby #4 before Halloween and it would be adorable to have her matching with him in the black with the kitty cat type headband bow!!🥹 🐈‍⬛🎀
