DIY Halloween Costumes for Kids: Adorable & Safe Ideas

Us millennial parents know a thing or two about getting dressed for Halloween Parties.  But as we got older, we've managed to ditch the overly elaborate costumes and go for more comfortable costumes that we can make in a flash.  So for parents who are not on the crafty side, or caught in the Q4 whirlwind (gotta hit those KPIs!)  we'll give you easy suggestions on how to make the simplest (and safest!) Halloween costumes for your kids, tried and tested by adults!

Safety First:

Remember, comfort is key. Ensure that the costume is made of baby-grade materials and is easy to take off when needed. Always avoid using strings or long attachments, as they can easily get tangled or knotted. Your little one's safety should always be a priority.

Tiny Filipino Farmer:

With a simple white onesie and some tiny jeans or shorts, tie a small red scarf around their neck. Cap it off with a straw hat, and you have a charming little farmer! It's a lovely way to teach them why our farmers are the backbone of our country!

Little Katipunero:

Inspired by our nation's heroes, this costume is both adorable and significant. Dress your baby in white, add a red sash, and maybe a tiny bolo hat. They'll be ready to march for freedom (or at least some candy)!

Nature's Little Fairy:

Got some old baby t-shirts or onesies? Decorate them with leaves, flowers, and even tiny twigs. Your little one will flutter around looking like a fairy straight out of a Filipino folklore tale.

Baby Superhero:

Who doesn't love superheroes? Grab a colorful bib or handkerchief and tie it as a tiny cape. Now, your baby's ready to save the day (or at least, the candy)!

Fit Baby:

As an adult, I’ve attended many halloween parties wearing my Gym Gear, it is the most comfortable costume there is.  And the props come with a water bottle, so you’re sure to be hydrated all day long!  For the baby version, just get any onesie with a sporty brand, put your baby in their newest “running shoes”, and trick or treat!


Remember, Little ones can get fussy, especially in our warm climate. Keep them comfy and fresh with Tender Care® Sakura Scent Baby Powder. It ensures they're all smiles in their new costumes.

Costume Clean-Up:

After getting your baby dressed up, it's essential to ensure their skin is clean and soft. With Tender Care® Head to Toe Baby Wash and Shampoo, clean up becomes a breeze, ensuring their skin remains tender and fresh.


Creating Halloween costumes for our babies is more than just dress-up. It's a fusion of our love for creativity, our Filipino heritage, and ensuring our little ones are comfy and safe. With these DIY ideas and the right Tender Care® products, you're set for a memorable Halloween!
