Multiples at Halloween

Halloween is the perfect excuse to go all-out with your twins, triplets (or more!) in adorable, clever, and spooky costumes. Whether you’re into DIY, punny outfits, pop culture references, or coordinating chaos, we’ve got ideas for every family and every age - from bubs in buggies to big kids who love to get into character.

So grab the glitter, face paint, and fake cobwebs, here are some of our favourite Halloween costume ideas for your mini crew of multiples!

Classic & cute twin costumes

These timeless pairings never get old:

• Salt & Pepper – Bonus if you label the back with "Shaker 1" and "Shaker 2"

• Thing 1 & Thing 2 – Dr. Seuss fans, this one’s a classic for a reason

• Batman & Robin – Or flip it with Batgirl & Supergirl!

• Peanut Butter & Jelly – Snack squad unite

• Ghostbusters & a Ghost – One busts, one haunts!

Clever ideas for triplets

Three is a magic number, especially when costumes come together just right:

• Rock, Paper, Scissors – Low cost, high laughs

• Snap, Crackle & Pop – A nostalgic nod for the cereal lovers

• The Sanderson Sisters – Perfect for three little witches

• Traffic Light – Red, yellow, green t-shirts with matching hats or face paint

For higher-order multiples (quads or more!)

Got a bigger bunch? These ideas work beautifully for four or more kids:

• The Seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter (great for showing different personalities)

• Inside Out Emotions – Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust

• The Avengers – Everyone gets a superhero moment

• Crayons or Paint Swatches – Each child wears a different colour, easy to DIY

• Zoo Crew – Lion, tiger, zebra, monkey… bonus points if a parent goes as the zookeeper!

Group costume ideas that include parents

Want to get in on the fun? These costume themes work great when the whole family joins in:

• Circus – Ringmaster (parent), clowns, acrobats, strongman

• Haunted House – Ghosts, skeletons, witch, vampire, and the brave "homeowners" (you!)

• Toy Story – Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Bo Peep, and even Forky

• Farmyard Friends – Farmer (parent), cow, pig, sheep, chicken

Quick & easy DIY ideas

Pressed for time or working with what's already in the wardrobe?

• Matching Pajamas + Ears = instant "sleepy bear" or "baby wolf" costumes

• Hoodie Hacks – Add felt shapes to solid-coloured hoodies for low-effort animals, monsters, or even fruit costumes

• Cardboard Box Magic – Turn boxes into cars, robots, washing machines—just add paint and straps

Tips for Halloween with multiples

• Comfort is key – If it’s itchy or heavy, it won’t last long

• Let them choose (within reason!) – Older kids often have strong opinions, try letting them pick a theme together

• Take the photo first! – Get your snaps in early, before someone spills pumpkin soup on their cape

Whether your multiples love to match or prefer to stand out, Halloween is a brilliant excuse to let their imaginations run wild, and yours too.
