Whether it’s for Halloween, the next Star Trek convention, or crawling around the house, Star Trek costumes are the best way to win adults over with cuteness. The level of work an adult puts into a costume doesn’t necessarily matter with kid’s costumes, either. Children look cute whether they’re in a store-bought Star Trek bodysuit or an intricately designed Romulan uniform! (Though definite bonus points for the adults if you’ve taken the time to make the costume yourself.) As a mom with a toddler, I’m impressed that the youngest in this list allowed themselves to be dressed up. I haven’t managed to keep a hat on my little Trekkie for more than thirty seconds, much less a whole costume.

I guess I’ll stick with Star Trek t-shirts for now! I hope these pictures brighten your day as they have mine. And thanks to all the Star Trek parents for sharing their fandom with the next generation. 

I cannot get enough of little Spock’s smile! 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This picture of my sons and nephew in Star Trek costumes totally cracks me up. Spock's ears and head tilt? I die. ???⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ These costumes were pretty easy to make. The tops were made from the @seekatesew raglan pattern with an adjusted neckline. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ They've held up really well btw. Five years later and my daughter still wears the costumes for play! ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ You can see all the details through my profile link! https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/star-trek-halloween-costume-kids/

These look so comfy.

Ready for command training.

 

I advise we proceed with caution, Captain.

Trying to choose the cutest one would be a regular Kobayashi Maru

Any Star trek fans out there? Give this your own caption!... * * * We had a fun time with this photo shoot. Except that my tiny models were overworked with no pay. They did get free food and water, so it was a fair exchange. * I really procrastinated on this project, which ruined my sleep for the last 3 days, but now I can just relax... ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #startrek #startrekcosplay #bonnevillesaltflats #desert #scifi #scifigeek #captainkirk #captainkirkcosplay #kidsplay #storytime #creatingmagic #action #beammeupscotty #starshipenterprise #cosplaykids #cosplay #startrekcostume #trekkies
