Getting to dress your kids in ridiculous, over-the-top costumes for Halloween is one of the many perks of parenthood. And when you have one kid, you can pretty much choose any Halloween costume you want — and it’s totally adorable.
But once you have two kids (or three, or four… or more!), sibling Halloween costumes get a little trickier. What if you want to coordinate outfits? What are some fun and unique ideas for multiple kids? And how do you pull off sibling Halloween costumes without breaking the bank?
If you’re looking for inspiration, you’ve come to the right place! Here are 100+ creative sibling Halloween costumes for your crew — mom and dad included!
Sibling Halloween Costumes for Two Kids
Dressing two kids in sibling Halloween costumes is fun because there are so many “pairs” in popular culture. Whether you have girls or boys (or one of each!), twins, two toddlers, or kids several years apart, there are lots of options of costumes for two. Dress your pair as one of these dynamic duos!
Classic Couples
- Peter Pan and Wendy Darling
- Orville and Wilbur Wright (swap in Amelia Earhart for a female aviation icon!)
- Popeye and Olive Oyl
- Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse (pick red, white and black outfits, Mickey/Minnie ears, and you’re set!)
- Bert and Ernie (think striped turtlenecks and heavy, drawn-on eyebrows!)
- Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy
- Sonny and Cher
Literary Inspired
- Curious George and The Man with the Yellow Hat

Getting Political

Additional Tips
Costumes Aren’t Just for Kids!
Feel free to utilize these ideas to suit your own family, regardless of size. For example, if you have three kids but love The Wizard of Oz, by all means, go for it! Think: three munchkins, three flying monkeys or Dorothy plus the Scarecrow and Tin Man. Almost all of these ideas could be appropriated by any-sized family — and Mom and Dad can join in the fun by dressing up, too!
Use Kid-Friendly Makeup
We all have memories of Mom drawing on our faces with thick, smelly face paint. Well, not only is that inexpensive makeup hard to remove, but many brands have been found to contain lead and other toxic ingredients.
Not to worry; you can still achieve your desired look with one of these non-toxic, kid-safe products:
- This Face Paint Kit by Beetastic contains 8 bright colors, plus applicators and sponges, so if you’re looking to only purchase one makeup kit, look no further! These paints are water-based, non-toxic, and skin-friendly.
- For the classic “face crayon,” try this set by Painting Sticks. The fat crayons will give you great, thick eyebrows (for Bert and Ernie), mustaches (the Marx brothers), or even drawn-on glasses (Dwight Schrute).
- Kids will love the glittery makeup kits from Luna Star, which are customized to create various fairy (Disney-anything), queen (Alice in Wonderland) and rock star looks (Backstreet Boys, perhaps?)
After trick-or-treating is over, remove the makeup using warm water and/or coconut oil.
