These Cadets Are So Ready for Halloween
Still need some pint-sized inspiration for the year's spookiest day? StarTrek.com's got you covered.

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 advise we proceed with caution, Captain.
Trying to choose the cutest one would be a regular Kobayashi Maru
