Halloween pajamas your kid will love

With the spooky season approaching, you might be trying to find Halloween pajamas your kid will love. Not only are kids' Halloween pajamas adorable, but they can also bring an extra layer of fun and anticipation to the big day.

Whether your child prefers things that are super spooky or cute with a Halloween twist, you'll find plenty of PJs they will love.

In this article: Little Pajamas Halloween Skeleton Pajamas, Nickelodeon Kids' “Paw Patrol” Seasonal Pajamas and Disney Over the Moon Halloween Pajamas.

Types of Halloween pajamas for kids

First, you might want to think about the types of pajamas available for kids. Most fit into one of three categories: onesies, long-sleeve and short-sleeve.

• Onesies: One-piece pajamas are great for cool nights and for babies and little kids. They look adorable and lend themselves well to certain designs, such as skeleton costumes.
• Long-sleeve: Since the time around Halloween is cool in most parts of the U.S., it makes sense that most seasonal pajamas are long-sleeved to keep kids warm. Long-sleeve pajamas generally also come with full-length or three-quarter length PJ pants.
• Short-sleeve: While they're less common, you can also find some choices with short-sleeve T-shirts and shorts. They're great if you live in an area where it's still fairly mild around Halloween or if your kid often gets too hot in their sleep.

Pajama materials

Although your child might only wear these pajamas for a short time around Halloween, you shouldn't overlook the importance of their material.

• Cotton: Cotton is a great choice if you prefer your child to wear natural materials. It is breathable to avoid overheating at night and washes well. Of course, not all cotton is of equal quality, so cheaper stuff can feel more flimsy. If you're concerned about cotton's eco-credentials, opt for organic cotton.
• Polyester: Polyester pajamas often look like cotton ones, but the material is synthetic. It isn't as breathable as cotton and doesn't hold up as well over time, but it is wrinkle-resistant. You can also find cotton-polyester blends to give you the best bits of both materials.
• Fleece: You can find some Halloween PJs for kids made from microfiber fleece material. It feels extremely soft and cozy, but some kids find it excessively warm to sleep in.

Halloween pajama designs

The main draw of Halloween pajamas is the design. They might not be as elaborate as Halloween costumes for kids, but you can find all kinds of spooky-cute designs that are Halloween-themed but kid-friendly.

• Skeletons: Skeletons are extremely common on kids' pajamas. Some have bone designs, turning the wearer into a skeleton, while others feature human, dinosaur or animal skeletons in action.
• Jack-o'-lantern: Pumpkin and jack-o'-lantern designs are also common and great for little kids or kids who prefer the cuter side of spooky.
• Cartoon characters: You can find pajamas with Halloween designs relating to certain cartoon shows or movie franchises. For instance, you can find Disney pajamas or Pokemon pajamas.

Kids' pajama sizing

You can find kids' pajamas in a wide range of sizes, from those that fit babies and toddlers to sizes that fit teenagers. Generally speaking, they run true to size and usually have some stretch to them, so it should be safe to get your kid's usual size. However, if you're unsure, check the sizing chart.
