While it is never a good idea to base your kids costume on what other kids are wearing, it is interesting to see what has been popular with other children. The National Retail Federation did a survey in 2005 in order to try to determine what costumes were popular with children. The following information is what costumes were most popular in that year. Obviously new movies and television shows which have been introduced since would sway these numbers but it's a good gauge, especially with the classic costumes like princesses and cowboys.
