Raising a tween is difficult enough without having to agree with them on what they're going to wear for Halloween. While they're too old to dress up as a kitty or princess, they aren't yet old enough to dress up as, you know, a sexy kitty or sexy princess. Your pre-teen might push to wear something more mature, but unless you're ready to see your kid dressed like they're going to a college party, you'll have to compromise on a Halloween costume that will make you both happy. Luckily, there are plenty of tween Halloween costumes both parents and kids will love.
Tween costumes don't have to be corny or cutesy, and even if you can't get your kid to agree to a family Halloween costume, you can still find them DIY costume ideas they'll actually want to wear. And the best part is that they can also get in on the fun by pulling items that they already have from their closet to complete their ensemble. From pop culture costumes to old classics, these costumes are sure to appeal to tweens and adults alike. This way, you can spend your energy arguing with your tween over how late they're going to stay out trick-or-treating instead.
