One great thing about Disney Princess costumes is that little girls will probably try to wear them well after Halloween, which makes them something of a bargain.  Hours and hours of playtime fun from just one costume!  The downside is that little girls will probably try to wear them well after Halloween to places like school and the mall, so you may have a little trouble convincing your little princess that it’s time to put the costume away.  But these costumes are so adorable, can you really blame little girls for trying to wear them as much as possible?

• Disney Princess Cinderella Prestige Collection Gown: This Cinderella costume is what I consider a little on the pricey side ($48.99), but it is stunning.

• Disney Princess Ariel Costume: The blue side panels on the skirt of this Disney Princess Ariel costume create the impression of swimming under the sea.  Pretty cool!

• Disney Princess Belle Costume: Your little girl will be the Belle of the ball in this adorable golden Princess Belle costume.

Here’s a quick rundown of superhero-themed Halloween costumes for babies:

I am not quite sure why this is called the Deluxe Animated Batman Bunting Baby Costume, but the description is correct in saying that “your baby will be the talk of the party,”  especially if your kid is as happy about this Halloween costume as the kid in the picture.

I think the Hulk Infant Costume is absolutely adorable.  The “character hood” totally cracks me up.

This Super Baby one-piece jumpsuit looks comfortable and cozy enough to wear beyond Halloween.  Plus, it totally completes a Super Family group costume.

Star Wars costumes are the perfect solution for babies who like to cruise around town in a custom-built Star Wars stroller.  I am having a hard time deciding which one I like most:

Baby Obi Wan Kenobi - Not sure how I feel about infants handling light sabers, but it is an adorable Halloween costume.

Baby Princess Leia - I think the “hair” alone makes the Princess Leia costume worth purchasing.

Baby Chewbacca - Speaking of hair, what is going on with Chewbacca’s fur here?  This costume makes Chewbacca look like he’s been through one of those weird poodle grooming sessions.  And yet as much as this offends the Star Wars fan in me, I somehow find it irresistably cute.  Go figure.

Halloween is only 58 days away, so it’s time to start thinking about ideas for baby Halloween costumes. More specifically, it’s time to start thinking about what costume you can convince your tot to wear that won’t induce a temper tantrum. Here are a few suggestions to kick off your search:

The 2008 Tom Arma Halloween Costume Signature Collection has several costumes that can do double duty as adorable outfits for Christmas parties, like an Elf costume, a “Snowbaby” costume and a Santa costume.

Older kids are going crazy for this Wall-E Costume. Shop early for Wall-E costumes to avoid disappointment and panic on Halloween.

Vegas-bound babies will love the Elvis costume, which they can also wear while performing drive-thru weddings. Hail to The King, baby!

Stay tuned for more Halloween costume updates in the next few weeks!
