What to dress your kids up as for Purim:  Costumes that wow (With Amazon links!)

Purim’s zooming in—March 13, 2025, to be exact—and it’s time to transform your kids into the coolest characters for this joyful, costume-tastic Jewish holiday. Sure, Esther and Mordechai are timeless (crowns and capes forever!), but with 2025 dishing out epic superhero flicks like Captain America: Brave New World, why not let your little ones steal the spotlight as this year’s big movie heroes?

I’ve rounded up some Purim-perfect costume ideas—complete with Amazon links to snag them fast—so your kids can dazzle at synagogue, school, or your living room megillah party. Let’s dive in!

1. Captain America (Sam Wilson Edition)

2025 kicked off with Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson soaring as the new Captain America in Brave New World. Dress your kid in this star-spangled suit—complete with shield—and let them channel Sam’s courage to save Shushan (or at least the Purim goodies).

2. Red Hulk Rampager

Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk roared onto screens this February, and your kid can too! This hulking red beast is perfect for stomping out Haman’s name with style. Pair it with green face paint for a Purim twist—Haman won’t know what hit him.

Here's a dress up cape with a matching mask and wristband, easy, comfy and adorable.

3. Hamantaschen Heroes

Not a movie star, but a Purim must! Turn your kid into a walking, talking hamantaschen with a triangle tunic in chocolate, apricot, or poppy seed hues. Add a chef’s hat for that bakery vibe—they’ll be the sweetest hero at the party.

4. Thunderbolts* Trouble-maker

With Thunderbolts hitting screens May 2, 2025, snag a costume inspired by this rogue crew. Think Yelena Belova (Black Widow vibes) or U.S. Agent—edgy, bold, and perfect for a Purim plot twist. Your kid can scheme like they’re outsmarting Haman himself.

5. Superhero Esther

Give Queen Esther a 2025 upgrade with a superhero spin! Add a glittery “E” cape and mask to her royal gown—she’s the undercover hero who saved the Jews, now with extra flair. Pair it with a scroll to rewrite the Purim story in style.

6. Deadpool’s Mini-Merc

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) still has legs into 2025, and your kid can rock Wade Wilson’s red-and-black chaos. Perfect for a loud, silly Purim—equip them with a toy katana (plastic, please!) and let them banter their way through the megillah.

7. Wolverine’s Tiny Claws

Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine clawed back in 2024’s hit, and this classic yellow-and-blue look is a Purim win. Add some foam claws and let your kid growl Haman’s name into oblivion—metal not included, but attitude is!
