What Are Toddler Girl Halloween Costumes?
1. Little Princess
A classic princess costume never goes out of style. Whether your toddler dreams of being Cinderella, Belle, or her own version of a royal, a princess dress is sure to delight. Look for soft fabrics like tulle or satin to keep her comfy, and add a little tiara for extra sparkle.
With 3 girls, we’ve had many toddler princess costumes throughout the years! We had Rapunzel and Cinderella with my oldest two when they were 3 and 2, shown in the photo below. We also had a Belle , Elsa, and Anna one year, though I don’t have great photos of that to share unfortunately. A princess costume is always a hit.
2. Adorable Bumblebee
For a costume that’s buzzing with cuteness, a bumblebee outfit is the way to go! With a striped yellow-and-black dress, soft wings, and a cute headband with antennae, your toddler will be the sweetest bee in the neighborhood. Plus, it’s a comfy costume that’s easy for her to move around in, perfect for trick-or-treating.
3. Magical Unicorn
Unicorn costumes are always a hit with toddlers. A rainbow-colored tutu, a sparkly horn, and glittery accents make for a dreamy outfit. Your little girl will feel like she’s stepped straight out of a magical land! Many unicorn costumes are designed with soft materials to keep toddlers cozy and happy all night. A few years ago, my two oldest girls wanted to dress up as unicorns at ages 4 and 3—they absolutely loved it, and they were adorable. The costumes they are wearing below are linked here.

4. Tiny Witch
For a classic Halloween vibe, a little witch costume is perfect. With a pointed hat, a cute black dress, and maybe a broomstick for fun, your toddler girl will look absolutely adorable while embracing the spooky season. It’s a timeless choice that’s easy to accessorize and perfect for Halloween photos.
5. Little Mermaid
If your toddler loves the ocean and all things under the sea, a mermaid costume is a great pick. A sparkly tail, seashell top, and flowing hair make this costume an instant favorite. You can add some shiny accessories like a starfish hair clip for extra magic. Be sure to look for an option that is easy for her to walk in, as some mermaid costumes could be difficult to navigate for little legs depending on how tight and constricting the costume is near the legs and feet.
6. Sweet Strawberry
For a fresh and fruity twist, a strawberry costume is simply adorable. A little red dress with green leaves and a strawberry headband makes for a sweet look that’s perfect for your toddler girl. It’s a comfy costume that’s easy to wear, and it’s bound to get lots of compliments.
7. Superhero Girl
Every toddler girl has a little superhero in her, and a superhero costume is a fun way to bring it out! Whether she loves Wonder Woman, Supergirl, or wants her own superhero persona, this costume idea is sure to make her feel powerful. Look for bright colors, a cape, and comfy leggings to keep her ready for action. My youngest daughter, aged 3 here, absolutely loves Spiderman and wanted to dress up as Spiderman for Halloween last year.
8. Flower Fairy
For a magical, nature-inspired look, a flower fairy costume is simply beautiful. With a soft dress covered in flowers, fairy wings, and a cute wand, your toddler will look like she just flew out of a fairy tale. This is a whimsical option that’s perfect for a little girl who loves to pretend she’s in a magical forest.
9. Little Cat
A black cat costume is a simple yet adorable choice for Halloween. A soft black outfit, a cute tail, and some face paint for whiskers will turn your toddler into the cutest little kitty. It’s a comfy option, and the best part? No complicated accessories, just pure cuteness.
10. Butterfly Delight
A butterfly costume is a fun, colorful option for little girls who love to flit and flutter around. With beautiful wings, a sparkly tutu, and a butterfly headband, your toddler will look absolutely enchanting. Plus, it’s a lightweight costume that’s perfect for toddlers who like to keep moving.
11. Cute Ladybug
For a little girl who loves all things cute and tiny, a ladybug costume is a perfect choice. A red-and-black spotted dress, wings, and antennae headband make for an adorable look that’s both comfortable and fun. It’s a cozy option that’s ideal for colder Halloween nights, too.
My youngest daughter was an adorable little lady bug as a 13 month old a few years ago. It was a chilly Halloween night that year, and this costume was perfect for keeping her warm in her stroller as we trick-or-treated with her big sisters. Here is an option for a very young toddler like my daughter in this photo, and here is an option for a slightly older toddler.
12. Little Peacock
A peacock costume is both vibrant and elegant, perfect for toddlers who love to stand out. With a colorful tail, feathers, and sparkly details, this costume is sure to make your little girl feel extra special. It’s a fun, festive look that’s perfect for Halloween celebrations.
13. Mini Chef
For the future culinary star in your family, a mini chef costume is a fun and unique option. A tiny chef’s hat, apron, and toy cooking utensils will turn your toddler into the cutest little cook. It’s a comfortable costume that’s easy to wear and even easier to put together!
14. Little Owl
An owl costume is another nature-inspired choice that’s both cozy and adorable. With soft feathers, big eyes, and a cute beak, your toddler will be ready to soar through Halloween night. Many owl costumes are designed to be warm and comfy, making them perfect for those expecting a chilly Halloween night.
15. Tiny Pumpkin
A pumpkin costume is a classic for toddlers, and it’s hard to beat its simplicity and charm. A round, padded pumpkin outfit with a cute green stem hat will make your toddler girl the cutest pumpkin in the patch. It’s a great option for staying warm and cozy on a chilly Halloween night.
16. Colorful Rainbow
For a colorful, cheerful costume, a rainbow outfit is always a great choice. With a rainbow-colored tutu, bright leggings, and a matching headband, your toddler will be a ray of sunshine wherever she goes. It’s a bright, happy costume that’s perfect for little girls who love all things colorful. Some, like this one, even have built in lights that are perfect for trick-or-treating!
17. Little Snowflake
If your toddler loves winter and all things frosty, a snowflake costume is a unique and magical option. A white or blue, sparkly dress with snowflake accents will make your toddler look like she just stepped out of a winter wonderland. Add some glittery face paint to complete the frosty look!
18. Forest Fairy
For a more earthy, natural take on the fairy costume, consider a forest fairy look. With soft, leafy details, earthy tones, and a cute pair of wings, this costume is perfect for toddlers who love nature. It’s a fun, imaginative choice that brings the magic of the forest to life.
19. Adorable BabY Animal
There are plenty of great options for cute and cuddly animal costumes for toddler girls. From baby lambs, to a little giraffe, to a cute little kitty like my daughter in the photo below, baby animals are adorable for toddlers!
Baby animal costumes can be a great choice for colder Halloween climates. They often are made with fuzzy materials and come with some sort of attached hood or head piece that can provide ear warmth for a chilly Halloween evening.
My oldest daughter dressed as a cute kitten when she was 13 months old. She couldn't walk yet and so the footie costume she wore worked perfectly for us, but be sure to look for an option without the built in feet for an older toddler.
20. Friendly Ghost
A ghost costume doesn’t have to be spooky—it can be adorable, too! Your toddler can be transformed into the cutest little ghost around. It’s a simple, comfy costume that’s perfect for toddlers who prefer a more relaxed look for Halloween. I personally love this cape-style ghost costume which is perfect for layering and easy for your little one to move around. This is also a great option for those who want to try a DIY Halloween costume!
Conclusion
Finding the perfect Halloween costume for your toddler girl doesn’t have to be stressful. Whether she’s dressing up as a magical unicorn, a fearless superhero, or a cuddly little pumpkin, the options are endless. Focus on comfort, safety, and lots of fun, and you’ll find a costume that’s perfect for your little girl.
No matter which costume you choose, the most important thing is that your toddler feels happy and excited to join in on the Halloween festivities. Enjoy this special time, take lots of pictures, and have fun creating wonderful Halloween memories!
