It doesn’t have to be complicated or fastidious just adorable!

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

But one thing’s for sure: your own little baby did just hatch, so to speak.

Either way, the symbolism will be clear, and so will the cuteness.

In the best (and most festive) of ways, that is.

Granted, the lobster trap pictured here is just for show.

Either way, the effect will be darling.

Just think: the whole familycould order treecostumes, and essentially go as “branches” of each other.

So why not make your little one into the subject of the classic tale?

All you’ll need is a little white apron and a pint-sized chef’s hat.

Or you could get more elaborate and go with amore formal costume, if you prefer.

But that’s okay.

Plus, if baby has siblings, they can come asWizard of Ozcharacters.

If you canfind a fake crowto glue on to the hat, so much the better.

Giving baby a soft stuffed-animal crow to hold might be a better idea, though.

Adorable baby scarecrow

Whatever wee scarecrow look you decide to go with, this outfit will be a definite hit.

Besides, as everyone knows, they’re adorable and so is your baby.

So why not dress your little vixen (or baby boy fox) up for the occasion?

Though the costume pictured here, too, is acting like hand-knitted,baby fox costumesare plentiful.

What’s more, they’re snug and cuddly all the better to accommodate the crisp autumn weather.

There are few things cuter than a baby bunny.

That’s why you really can’t go wrong with this one.

So finding one won’t be difficult.

Eggs, candy they’re all the same when you’re talking about a costume that’s this appealing.

But you get the general idea.

And baby pumpkin costumes are definitely as widely available as pumpkins in an actual pumpkin patch.

Or, better yet, out of the mist of whatever fog machine happens to be going.

Baby Peter Pan

Peter Panis a story about children who want to be forever-children.

That’s why it’s the perfect Halloween costume for a child.

It goes without saying that this, too, is a great idea for a family costume.

A sibling dressed as Wendy, dad as Captain Hook, mom as Tinkerbell it’s ideal.

Even solo, though, this costume is bound to be a crowd-pleaser.
