Many costumes come with soft materials that are comfortable for toddlers, and you can even add a little toy sword for extra fun. Just make sure to skip anything too pointy or sharp to keep things safe!

This pirate costume from Amazon is super cute, budget-friendly, and comes in sizes 3T through kids size 8.

2. Dinosaur Delight

Does your little one love dinosaurs? A dinosaur costume is a perfect fit for a boy who loves to stomp around and roar! With cute spikes, a long tail, and vibrant colors, your toddler will look like he just walked out of the Jurassic era. Many dinosaur costumes are soft, plush, and warm, making them great for outdoor trick-or-treating.
