10 Perfect Halloween Costumes for a 3-Year-Old

Three-year-old girls are notorious for changing their minds. One minute they love their dolphin stuffed animal, and the next it’s on to the dog. It’s enough to drive any parent batty.

This year, T definitely kept us on our toes when figuring out her Halloween costume. I don’t know how many different ideas we went through. It got me wondering, what are the best Halloween costumes for a 3-year-old girl?

Here's a list of 10 perfect Halloween costumes for a 3-year-old girl. Which one do you think my girly girl chose to wear?

Halloween costumes for a 3-year-old girl

Of course, most 3-year-old girls want to dress like their favorite Disney princesses. But, beware. Disney princess costumes can get pricey fast. Then again, they are pretty darn cute, aren’t they?

Belle was alway my favorite. This version from Kid You Knot (Etsy) is incredible.
I love how sweet this Tiana (Princess and the Frog) costume from Jams Grandma’s Tutus (Etsy) is.
Cinderella is classic, and deserves a classic costume. (image via Bits n Scraps on Etsy)
There’s always this elaborate Snow White costume. (Fairytale Jubilee on Etsy)
Tinkerbell is everyone’s favorite little fairy. (Tiara’s Tutus on Etsy)
For the self-rescuing girls out there, Jessie (Toy Story 2 & 3) is a great option. (Also from The Little Giggler)
Then again, if your 3-year-old wants to show her bad side, a Pirate Princess (via Cowboys and Crowns on Etsy) is a fun option, too.
If you want to go for something a little bit simpler, or creative, you can raid your daughter’s closet and pull together an outfit from a favorite TV show or book.
T’s been enjoying Angelina Ballerina (image via Make Create Do) ever since starting dance class this fall.
Pinkalicious
T enjoys the Pinkalicious books. I love the little cupcake additions on this costume from Katie C on Pinterest.
A Fancy Nancy costume would be so much fun to pull together. It’s all about excess with her!(image via Blue Moon Design on Etsy)
 That said, T did actually make up her mind about what she wants to be for Halloween. So what did my little girly girl decide to be this year?
