Looking for Halloween costume ideas for your twins or other multiples? Twins often want to have similar -- but not identical -- costumes, or to display coordinating themes. Here are some fun suggestions for multiple babies or kids -- or the whole family. (Find more Halloween costume ideas here: Halloween with Twins & Multiples

Nothing would be sweeter than a set of multiples dressed up as multi-colored candies. Soft, plush costumes are comfortable to wear and available for babies, kids and adults, so the whole family can be candy-coated! Try Tootsie Roll, Hershey's Kiss, Candy Corn or Sugar Babies.
3. Disney Princesses
The timeless appeal of these characters make them a classic choice for girls of all ages. Belle, Snow White, Cinderella are just a few of the pretty princess possibilities. Go for glamour!4. Superheros: Superman, Spiderman, Batman

Superheroes are always a popular costume option for kids, and offer plenty of variety for multiples. Consider Superman, Batman, Spiderman or Flash for boys and Wonder Woman, Super Girl and Violet (from Disney's Incredibles) for girls. Power Rangers come in different colors, including pink, so twins who want to be the same -- but different (don't they always?) can choose their favorite ranger color and team up to battle the forces of evil.
5. Pirates

Arrrrrr! Pirates are hotter than ever, thanks to the popularity of recent movies. A pirate theme offers lots of options for twins and multiples, as they can accessorize with different items to create their own unique style.

Moo, Baa, Growl, Grunt... turn your zoo of a family into a "Boo Zoo" this Halloween! Or dress up your multiples like their favorite Webkinz creature. Several adorable animal costume themes are available. Consider creating a mini-theme like: cat & mouse, bundle of bunnies, farm yard (dress up a stroller as a hay wagon), zoo and zookeeper (Mom or Dad can be the latter), wild cats, etc. One Step Ahead has a particularly cute collection of animal costumes.
