20 Punny Halloween Costume Ideas for Kids

Every Halloween for the past several years, Mark and I have found our costume inspiration in visual puns.

Puns—you know…a word or phrase used to suggest more than one meaning.  “I mustache you a question,” for instance.  The same cheeseball humor your Uncle Henry used on you as a kid. It used to make us groan and roll our eyes.  Now, we’ve developed a palette for the pun’s wit and cleverness.  Especially when you need to see it to appreciate it.  Especially where Halloween costumes are concerned.

I donut understand puns...or maybe I do?

In fact, let’s take a quick walk down memory lane, shall we?  Here are our punny costumes from the past four six years.

20 Punny Halloween Costume Ideas for Kids

Every year, I like to round-up 20 punny Halloween costumes not only to help inspire our next set of costumes, but also to share with you all in the event that there are other cheeseballs out there with our same silly sense of humor.  And when our baby girl, Juniper, arrived and we went from a family of two to three…it was a no-brainer.  Naturally, I needed to pull together a kids edition of the round-up.

So, here you have it!  20 Punny Halloween Costume Ideas for Kids.  And that includes babies, multiples, big kids, fur-babies, families…the lot of ’em.
