Do you have a daughter that wants to wear a spider girl costume this Halloween?

Spider Girl Costumes are a favorite at Halloween time.  There is something of a juxtaposition here, as usually girls tend to shy away from creepy spidersSpiderman costumes enjoy great popularity, so why not a spider girl costume?

Whether your girl wants to be a superhero or a scary spider girl, there are many variation of child spider costumes from which she can choose.

Here are a few to get the ideas rolling:

Like dew drops caught in a spider web, this costume’s skirt has sparkles on a light blue sheer over skirt.

The spider girl costume is the colors of the traditional Spiderman outfit.  It is mostly bright blue with accents of red covered in black webbing detail as well as a centralized emblem of an abstract spider.

This particular black masked Halloween costume comes in Toddler 3T-4T, and child small, medium and large (4-12).  And, if you order today before 4pm CDT, it will most like be shipped by the end of the day.

Silver webbing details the collar and short sleeves of this black spider girl costume.  The midsection is made of a silver color material with black web detailing.

The Halloween costume is a dress with black leggings and a devilish black mask.

The fingerless gloves are a silver fishnet material that give an ephemeral web appearance to go with the thin black face mask.

This is a junior teen costume that comes in sizes 7-16.  The gloves, mask, dress and leggings are all part of the package.

Webbed Spider Girl CostumeWeb Spider Girl Costume
The black creepy web spider girl costume is a long black dress with tattered hem and sleeves.  It is covered with white gauzy spider webbing.

There is a black jacket that has a hood which covers the white long hair wig.  The white hair almost blends in as a continuation of the webbing.  It is making my skin crawl just thinking about having spider webs clinging all over me.  How about you?  Yuck!

Spiders use their spider silk for creating spider webs to catch flying insects.  The insects don’t see the fine thread and get trapped in its sticky consistency when the fly into it.  The spider can feel the pressure of the newly entrapped insect and they run out and spin a tight binding cocoon like encasement around the bug and save them for eating at a later time- a spider pantry if you will!

Child spider costumes are bountiful in the days leading up to Halloween, but they can be difficult to find as we get closer and closer to October 31st.  If your toddler wants to be a spider this year, then take a look a these great costumes:

Its the amazing spider girl!  She has no fear in her bright pink costume dress that has a sporty pink, layered skirt that sparkles.  The top of the costume has a pretty hot pink accent color with webbing and a spider in the center of her chest.

Once she puts on her thin shiny eye mask, she is no longer you daughter, but Spider Girl!  Add some pink glitter tights to keep her legs warm on a cool Halloween evening.  And maybe just a little glitter make-up too.

This outfit comes in size that range from 3T all the way up to kids size 12.

Itsy-Bitsy spider is a children’s nursery rhyme story that is also known as Incy Wincy Spider.  It actually became an animated cartoon on USA Cartoon Express for a while too.

What is our fascination with spiders?  Is it their eight hairy legs? Or that they are so mysterious in that the seem to pop up out of nowhere from some dark crack.  Perhaps it is their incredible ability to spin silken webs?  What every they are, they are so creepy that there is actually a phobia named after them- arachnophobia.
