One of the best times I've ever had was making Halloween costumes for my children, nieces and nephews. Finding something that was both safe, easy to put on and take off and within our limited budget wasn't all that easy to find.
The safest and simplest infant costumes or those suited for toddler Halloween costumes should never interfere with their movements of wavering walk or their eyesight. Remember all those steep steps of homes that they may trick or treat, or the Halloween party they may be attending.
The ability to wear clothing under the costume is helpful when the climate is not so warm during this time of year, particularly if the costume will be worn over a jacket and additional clothing. Be certain that neither infant nor toddler Halloween costume impedes the movement of the children's extremities; bunching or gather outfits will make it difficult to walk.
Toddler costumes which are purchased or made should be checked over completely to assure that safety comes first. This includes the review of masks as to not obstruct vision. Far better would be face painting, which in no way interferes with their ability to see what they are walking toward or what may be coming toward them. Flowing costumes which are lengthy should be inspected to be certain that they are not too long and will create hazards when walking or running. Wonderful new toddler Halloween costumes are available which include the use face paints rather than a mask.
Want the safest suit possible? Opt for a suit that has few pieces and no mask. Some cute toddler costume ideas include a monkey, doggy, kitty or princess. Use face paint instead of a mask and easily attach ears or a crown with either a headband or barrettes. A shortened monkey tail will also help avoid potential tripping. TIP: make sure your little prince or princess can easily get in and out of the suit. This makes bathroom breaks as simple as possible!
Depending on the age of your little "trick or treater," they may still be putting everything into their mouth. Avoid any dangling pieces that Jr. and Suzy will want to taste. An infant Halloween costume should obviously avoid any elaborate hood or head coverings.
Most store bought toddler Halloween costumes are relatively safe. Standards have been placed that require suits to be flame resistant. Double check just to be sure. Lighted jack o' lanterns are awfully pretty to new "trick or treaters." For your own pumpkins, use a glow stick instead of the standard candle.
Infant and toddler Halloween costumes are to be appealing and pleasurable rather than a safety hazard that may possibly turn an evening of fun and magic into something much less desirable. Halloween will be safe and worthwhile for both you and your child when you take the time to ensure that the Halloween costume worn by your infant or toddler is safe to wear. More over, just think of how proud you will be of the infant or toddler who will be wearing a special costume for Halloween. Edited by Glinda Zuladra
