We've been independently researching and testing products for over 120 years. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more about our review process.

There are a ton of cute Halloween costumes for kids out there — from Disney to superheroes — but if you have a pair or trio (or more!) of brothers and sisters on your roster, there's nothing better than going with a fun sibling Halloween costume idea that shows off their bond.

To pull off iconic matching or synchronized outfits, look to our list which includes festive attire for babies and sweet toddler costumes as well as effortless tween and teen looks. And adult brothers and sisters don’t have to feel left out either. We even included some ideas that will work well for the entire family, if you decide to go that route. Each sibling costume here can be DIY'd because we know when you're shopping for a group of kids, homemade costumes are not only more fun, but usually, more affordable. Although, we did throw in a few you can buy.

Now, all that’s left for you to do is round up the gang and take your pick from the many (and we mean many!) outfits that you all can slay Halloween in.

Witches

Brian Woodcock for Country Living

When in doubt, go for a good witch costume. Our friends at Country Living gave us the how-to on bringing these adorable looks to life. You can check out more witch-inspired outfits from them here.

How to make, per Country Living: "Cut two 31- by 20-inch rectangles from black-and-white gingham fabric. Sew ends together, leaving armholes toward the top of the rectangle. Fold in the top 1 inch of the fabric and sew a channel, leaving a 1-inch opening. Thread a ribbon or string through the channel. Once on, pull the ribbon to gather it at the top. Cut a 3 1/2- by 36-inch strip from black eyelet fabric. Sew a hand-running stitch along the edge of one of the long sides. Leave a knot at one end and pull the string on the other side to create gathers. Pin at the back of the costume or add a snap. Finish with witches hats."
