Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble, we need a costume on the double.
Dressing up for Halloween is a real treat, and it’s twice as fun if you step out in a costume made for two. Whether you’re carrying a baby, chaperoning an older kiddo or letting siblings show you how it’s done, it’s frightfully fun to pair up when you dress up.
Here are 18 Halloween costumes for ‘double trouble’ fun. And if you’ve got a larger group – the more, the merrier! Or should that be scarier?
A sweet idea
Yummo… This DIY milk and cookies costume looks good enough to eat. Just dunk some creativity into craft materials and your Halloween costumes are served! (via HGTV)
Creepy crawler
Your insy-wincy bub will get a giggle out of this spider costume. It’s a little bit spooky, but mostly a cutie! (via Martha Stewart)
Master some Minions
Your kids’ will be lost for words when you serve up these magnificent Minion costumes. They’re easy, effective and rather eye-catching! (via Coolest Handmade Costumes)
A really corny idea
Gear up for a movie Halloween marathon with this deliciously cute popcorn-themed combo. No munching, Mum! (via This Place Is Now A Home)
The merry old land of Oz
Your poppets are off to see the wizard with these gorgeous Wizard of Oz outfits. Step into the shoes of Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West with added whimsy. (via Simple As That)
Once upon a time…
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair with a daddy and daughter double act. One thing’s for sure – Halloween will end happily ever after. (via Coolest Homemade Costumes)
Unreal banana peel

Into the woods
Little Red Riding Hood and the Not-so-big Bad Wolf are a great sister/brother idea. And if you’d like to take part in the fairytale, feel free to dress up as The Woods-mum! (via The Ragged Wren)
Naughty and nice
Your little one will be yap happy in a 101 Dalmatians costume. Cruella De Vil and Pongo can be played by a mum and kiddo or two tots – just make sure that there are lots of spots! (via Hello Honey)
3, 2, 1 blast off!
It’s all systems go with this no sew baby rocket outfit. Wear all black to represent deep space, or pair your bub’s costume with an older astro-kid dressed in cosmonaut clobber. (via Free Baby Projects)
A Thing or two
Get up to mischief with mixy-matchy Thing 1 and Thing 2 costumes. Dr Seuss is a classic choice for twins and all siblings. (via Absolutely Loving My Life)
Say “cheese!”
For an easy, cheesy idea, why not dress as a big wedge of fromage and a mini mouse? A lump of foam and some DIY ears would do just as well as a costume on order. Squeak. (via Happy!)
Rainbow bright
If you’re handy with a sewing machine, then reach for the stars with this Rainbow Brite and Twink DIY. Together you can light up the sky, oops, street. (via Pink Suede Shoe)

Meet The Flintstones
Get some Halloween inspo from the Stone Age. Your little ones will rock in Fred and Wilma costumes – they’re outfits right out of history. (via Etsy)
The magic touch
Find Halloween gold at the end of the rainbow. This luxe costume for a large leprechaun and little pot o’ gold is all kinds of awesome. (via Hello Lucky)
