22 Funny Halloween Costumes for Kids

Let's not forget the importance of a good Halloween costume—even if we're just here for the laughs. Here are some tips on what to look for in a totally epic, funny Halloween costume.

• Age-appropriate: While we all love a good joke, the best funny Halloween costumes for kids should always be age-appropriate.

• Family themes: Themed Halloween costumes are a great way to bring the family together, even if your older ones may roll their eyes at the idea. Not only will you have a blast, but you'll also have some amazing photos to look back on.
• Comfort and durability: Above all, the best funny Halloween costumes for kids should always be comfortable and durable. Since Halloween is filled with lots of hustle and bustle from school to trick-or-treating,  you'll want a costume that can handle the craziness from school to door-to-door candy hunting.
