Halloween Is More Than a Night
The best Halloweens aren't just about what they wear to the door. They're about the whole season — the activity kit started the Saturday before, the puzzle on the kitchen table all October, the spooky story read three nights in a row, and the accessories that made the costume feel completely, perfectly theirs.
Bright Bean has curated five Halloween collections this year — costumes, accessories, activity kits, puzzles, and books — so October can be as full as it deserves to be.
Five Ways to Celebrate Halloween
Costumes to accessories to craft kits to puzzles to books — everything curated, everything in one place.
Halloween Costumes — Made for Canadian Kids
Great Pretenders Halloween costumes: designed for trick-or-treaters, warm enough to layer over a toque and snowsuit, durable enough to become a dress-up staple long after October ends.

For the Little One Who Rules the Pumpkin Patch
The Pumpkin Patch Princess Dress is the Halloween costume that stops people on the street. The soft bodice features a friendly jack-o'-lantern face, the multi-layer tulle skirt has just enough volume for twirling and spinning, and the leafy collar inspired by pumpkin vines adds a fairy-tale finish that makes it feel one-of-a-kind. The coordinating pumpkin headband completes the look in one step — no extra hunting required.
And for the child who wants something a little more monstrous: the Monster Mash Costume Set features a ripped-edge top and pants with glow-in-the-dark faux stitching that's white by day and glowing after dark, topped with a green Frankenstein-inspired monster headpiece with metallic bolt details. Two very different Halloweens — both completely unforgettable.

Glow in the Dark. Cast a Spell. Breathe Fire.
The Amethyst the Spider Witch costume comes complete with the matching witch hat, intricate spider web detailing, and glow-in-the-dark web highlights that activate at dusk — right when trick-or-treating begins.
The GID Skeleton Costume glows the same way: charged by light, fully illuminated after dark. Long sleeves and pants make it layerable for a Canadian October that might have other ideas.
And for the child who was never going to be a witch or a skeleton — the Azure Metallic Dragon Cape features iridescent teal metallic fabric, a 3D stuffed dragon head, and dragon scale detailing that shimmers in autumn streetlights. All three available in sizes 3–6.

Make Your Own Halloween Candy. Then Give It Away.
The Thames & Kosmos Halloween Gummy Candy Making Kit is what happens when a science experiment and a trick-or-treat bag collide. Kids make up to 48 real gummy candies in pumpkin, bat, and ghost shapes — orange mango and purple grape flavours — while learning actual food science: gelatin chemistry, temperature reading, measurements, and phases of matter.
Everything is included: all food ingredients, the Halloween mold, and 10 baggies with stickers for gifting. Start it the Saturday before Halloween. Finish it ready for the classroom, the neighbours, or anyone brave enough to knock on your door.
Halloween Puzzles & Games — Screen-Free October Nights
Cobble Hill Halloween puzzles, the Ravensburger Bluey Halloween set for little ones, and the wildly popular Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza Halloween Edition for family game nights.
The Stories That Make October Feel Like October
Before the costumes are on and the candy is sorted, there's the whole month of October to fill. And the right Halloween books make every evening feel like an event.
This year, Christie has curated a Halloween books collection that spans every age and every reading level — from the beautifully illustrated Celebrations & Festivals: Halloween that helps even reluctant Halloween participants fall in love with the season, to spot-the-difference puzzles, detective mysteries, and choose-your-own-adventure fairy houses.
Halloween Books — For Every Reader, Every Age
From picture books that help little ones understand Halloween to mystery chapter books and choose-your-own-adventure stories for growing readers.

Costumes That Survive a Canadian October
Canadian Halloween is not the same as the stock photo version. It's 4°C, a 40% chance of snow in the forecast, and a full snowsuit doing its best underneath a dragon cape. Great Pretenders designs costumes in Vancouver, BC — a team that fully understands what Canadian Halloween actually looks like.
Every costume is cut with room to layer. Every cape closes with velcro that adjusts for a bulkier collar. And every costume is machine washable — because when they want to wear the Spider Witch to school on Monday, Tuesday, and the following Friday, you won't be worried about it.
Halloween Shop — Frequently Asked Questions
What size should I order for my child's Halloween costume?
What size should I order for my child's Halloween costume?
Great Pretenders costumes are sized by age range (e.g., Size 5-6 refers to approximate age), not standard S/M/L clothing sizes. We always recommend sizing up if your child is between sizes — especially for Canadian Halloween where you'll want room to layer warm clothing underneath the costume. Check the size chart on each individual product page for specific measurements.
Can my child wear their costume over warm layers or a snowsuit?
Can my child wear their costume over warm layers or a snowsuit?
Yes — Great Pretenders costumes are designed with room to layer. All capes, dresses, and full costume sets are cut generously enough for a hoodie or even a light snowsuit underneath. Velcro closures at the neck adjust for bulkier collars. If you're ever between sizes, size up.
Are the Great Pretenders costumes machine washable?
Are the Great Pretenders costumes machine washable?
Yes — all Great Pretenders costumes are machine washable. This is one of the reasons we carry Great Pretenders exclusively for Halloween costumes. They're designed for repeated play, not just one night — and when your child inevitably wants to wear the Pumpkin Princess dress for the rest of October, you can wash it easily.
When should I order to receive my costume before Halloween?
When should I order to receive my costume before Halloween?
