Still, it can be tricky to think up the perfect mother-and-son costume to best represent you and your little one. After all, this is as much a bonding experience as it is a fun chance to dress up.

No matter what your kid's interests are — from farm animals to superheroes to wizards — we've got you covered with these easy mother-son costumes. Some are even DIY-friendly, meaning half of the costume could already be in your closet. Get ready to make this holiday a memorable one with one of these 12 ideas for cute mom-and-son Halloween costumes. And if you have a daughter, we've got plenty of costume ideas for you too.
Mom and Son Halloween Costume: Construction Workers
Just think how cute he'll look in a tiny yellow vest and hard hat. Plus, those are really the only two items you need to create this adorable mom and son Halloween costume. Grab one of their toy hammers from the playroom and you nailed it!
Mom and Son Halloween Costume: Pumpkins
Dressing your little one up as pumpkin for Halloween is basically a right of passage. If you haven't done it yet, now's your chance. And why not match them while you're at it? You two will look absolutely gourd-geous.
Mom and Son Halloween Costume: Superheroes
Fulfill your kids' superhero dreams with this costume and they'll feel like they can really fly. You can either opt for a store-bought cape or go the DIY route and have your little one come up with their very own superhero names for the both of you.
Mom and Son Halloween Costume: Stitch
According to Stitch, "Ohana means family, family means no one gets left behind." That phrase applies to matching Halloween costumes too. While you can dress up as different characters from "Lelo & Stitch," these COSUSKET Onesie Pajamas ($30) are so comfy, why not both go as the same character? (The Amazon onesie comes in adult and kid sizes, so it's easy to snag two.) Plus, your little one will love running around as your mini Stitch while picking up his favorite candy throughout the night.
Mom and Son Halloween Costume: Pirates
You can't get much cuter than a baby pirate, right? All you need is some black and white striped clothing and a little face paint to make this vision come to life.
Mom and Son Halloween Costume: Head Chef and Sous Chef
If you've got a mini Bobby Flay on your hands, then these matching aprons ($22) are the perfect accessory to your head chef and sous chef costumes. The two of you can even make your own hats at home with construction paper and crayons.
Mom and Son Halloween Costume: Hogwarts Characters
