Halloween costumes are one of the best parts about the whole month of October. And when we dress up with someone else, it makes it even more fun. Coordinating costumes just seems to take an idea to a whole new level. Some people dress up with their partner, some people dress up with their best friend, and some people dress up with their kid! There are cute costume ideas for every kind of family, including cool ideas for mamas who want to dress up with their sons. So if a mom has a little guy who is a “mama’s boy” then this might be the perfect thing for them to do together and make some memories!
Families come up with some pretty clever ideas when it comes to Halloween costumes. There is the horror route of Chucky and Chucky’s bride, there are tons of superhero options like Superman and Supergirl or Batman and The Joker, or there are plenty of Disney options like Cruella de Vil and a little Dalmatian puppy (or puppies). Some costumes don’t need more than some face makeup; for example one mom did her and her son’s faces to look like skulls and then they just wore some matching black leather jackets — super adorable!
There are so many fun ideas out there that are sure to impress a little boy, no matter what he is into. Here are 20 cool and creative Halloween costume ideas for moms to rock with their sons. It’s really awesome to see the imagination behind some of these epic looks!
