Kids Animal Costumes

What to look for in a kids animal costume

Start with the build, not the animal. A Morphsuit is one stretch piece, quickest on and off; a plush onesie or dress set has separate head and tail pieces that come off; a tunic goes over the child's own clothes; an inflatable needs its fan running. Sizing runs by age band, not clothing size, and every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks. All of our kids' products are safety tested by accredited labs.

The Kids Tiger Morphsuit is a four-way stretch suit in a realistic tiger print, with a quick-release velcro hood, available in small, medium, and large by height.

For a plush alternative, the Kids Lion Deluxe Costume pairs a jumpsuit with a separate fluffy maned hood, ears, and a detachable tail, with paw sleeves and shoe covers finishing the look, sized from toddler 3-4 up to 12-14 years.

The Kids Monkey Onesie Costume pulls on in one piece, with a detachable tail, anti-slip foot covers, and a plush banana prop in the front pocket, sized 6 months to 6 years and layering over everyday clothing.

Rather than a full-body build, the Girls Pink Striped Cat Dress Costume comes as a glitter-trim dress with striped leggings, an ear headband, tail, arm warmers, and gloves, sized 4 to 14 years.

Worn like a vest over everyday clothes, the Kids Great White Shark Tunic Costume has a plush shark head with realistic eyes and teeth, plus a shark tail, one size fits most children.

Inflated by its own built-in fan, the Kids Giant Panda Inflatable Costume runs over four hours on one set of batteries and comes with matching gloves, in one size that fits most children.

Dinosaurs have their own page: kids dinosaur costumes. Every other theme sits under kids costume themes.

Frequently asked questions

What age are kids animal costumes suitable for?

Anywhere from 6 months to 14 years, depending on the build: the Kids Monkey Onesie Costume starts at 6 months, the Girls Pink Striped Cat Dress Costume runs to 14, and the Kids Lion Deluxe Costume's top band is 12-14 years.

Can my child see and breathe easily in an animal costume?

Your child can see and breathe through a Morphsuit hood, but the stretch fabric softens what they see in low light, so watch curbs and stairs. The plush onesie, dress set, tunic, and inflatable panda leave the face open instead.

What animal costumes do you have for kids?

Big cats (the Kids Tiger Morphsuit and the Kids Lion Deluxe Costume), a monkey onesie, a cat dress set, a shark tunic, and a giant inflatable panda.

Should I choose a Morphsuit or a plush onesie for my child?

For a long stretch outdoors, take the plush onesie: the Kids Monkey Onesie Costume is thicker than a stretch Morphsuit. Otherwise take the Morphsuit: it goes on faster and packs into a bag.

Do kids animal costumes fit over normal clothes?

The tunic and the onesie both do: the Kids Great White Shark Tunic Costume goes on as a tabard over what your child already has on, and the Kids Monkey Onesie Costume has a relaxed fit for the same reason. A Morphsuit or dress set is worn as the outfit itself.

Are your kids' animal costumes safety tested?

All of our kids' products are safety tested by accredited labs.
