Because it's not Halloween without at least one kid running around in a sheet. But if you want to get fancy about it (and leave your beds with some semblance of dignity), try some of our favorite classic, store-bought options instead.

Pumpkin
Orange is the name of the game on Halloween. Generally speaking, pumpkins go over best with the 0-6 age group, but cuteness like this knows no age limit.
Wal-Mart Infant Pumpkin Costume, $8.00
Ghost
If your little one can fit in the ensemble pictured here, please make that happen. We're swooning.
Amazon Underwraps Baby's Ghost Belly-Babies, $22.99+
Skeleton
As always, the more a costume creeps you out, the more your kids are gonna love it. Give into a happy medium with a skeleton costume. We're particularly fond of the one below, which doubles as pajamas.
Gymboree, skeleton two-piece jammies, $22.95
Oz-Inspired
From Dorothy to the Tin Man, you can't go wrong dressing you little one up as a resident (or visitor) of Oz.
Target Girls Sequin Dorothy, $24.99
Witch
Well, of course. You can't ring in the holiday without at least a little bit of spookiness. Grab a kitchen broom and a pointy hat and get the magic going.
Target, Toddler Girl's Enchanted Witch Costume, $20.00
Princess / Fairy
Got a little one who wants to be a princess? Then you've probably realized this is no costume — it's a lifestyle. Usually, the obsession starts early, well before Halloween...and it can last for the whole year. For that reason, we think princess accessories are a worthy investment that you'll want to keep around the home well past October. Elsa is, of course, a solid choice. And for instant fairy, simply add magic (wands!).
Disney Elsa Costume, $5.97, Costume Express
Policeman / Policewoman
Because a timeless costume that doesn't really require more than the addition of a few accessories sounds good to us. You can simply dress your kid in all black or navy blue, then add a hat, badge, and/or handcuffs to make things official.
Costume Express Police Chief Hat, $34.99
Cowgirl / Cowboy
Everyone's costume trunk/closet/what-have-you should contain at least one cowboy hat and a bandanna for those moments when you just need to turn into a cowgirl (er... when your kid needs to turn into a cowgirl, I mean). An all-American costume that requires only a few accessories and no face paint or other messy extras, this one's an obvious favorite.
