  • For some kids, choosing a Halloween costume is the biggest decision of the year and no kid takes the all-important decision lightly. It’s not easy to choose just because of the sheer number of kids’ Halloween costumes out there.

    Some parents love to handcraft their child’s costumes, while others prefer to run to the local Walmart to pick up a ready-made costume. Either way, there are some great ideas and choices out there. To make it a little easier, here are the 10 most popular costumes for your little trick or treaters, based on the most popular Yahoo search engine enquiries.
