Is it too early to shop for Halloween costumes? Even if it is, you could buy this one in time to celebrate World Octopus DayOpens in a new tab, which falls a few weeks earlier on October 8. Get it? You know, because octopuses have eight arms. Anyway, dressing your baby up as an octopus is appropriate for all occasions as far as we’re concerned. Just look at those plush pink arms and cozy hood. Households with ginger cats could pair this look with their cat to make Goose the FlerkenOpens in a new tab from Captain Marvel costume. This fantastic octopus costume is for sale at WalmartOpens in a new tab and will set you back $57. But just think, the social media posts will be priceless.
We saw this amazing Halloween costume thanks to TechnabobOpens in a new tab. I especially enjoy the choice to include photos of the model baby clearly horrified with its plush many-legged prison. The suit only comes in pink, no mention of the color-changing abilitiesOpens in a new tab that real octopus have. Camouflaged human babies probably aren’t a good idea after all. It would be weird enough to watch this wriggle through your house as the baby crawls from room to room. Just imagine if it also blended into the floor or the kitchen cabinets.
We can’t wait to see everyone’s costumes come Halloween, whether it’s pop culture or animal-related. Yes please to everything from babies dressed as Baby YodaOpens in a new tab to adults in an inflatable Spider-Rex costumesOpens in a new tab. It’s nice to know that everyone can get dressed upOpens in a new tab for the season.
