What to Look for in a Toddler Halloween Costume
Size – This is a very important aspect to consider. It is much better to buy a costume that is a little on the large side than one that is too snug.
- Some costumes run a little on the small side so for this reason you may need to order the next size up.
- Halloween can be chilly depending on where you live. If you’ve ordered a larger size then you can layer clothing underneath the costume to keep your child warm without obscuring the design. It’s a complete drag to have to hide the costume under a bulky coat.
- No doubt your toddler will want to play dress-up in the costume before and after Halloween. In fact, you may experience a tantrum or two the first time you try to get your son out of the costume. If you have a larger size then your child will enjoy many months of dress-up fun instead of just the one time at Halloween.
Functionality – Toddlers and kids are always very active. You can expect your child to be running around the house, climbing and jumping off the furniture and getting into mischief. You want a costume that isn’t so baggy that it restricts movement.
Durability – As mentioned above, toddlers are known for their amazing, non-stop energy. You want a costume that will stand up to the abuse that comes its way. While you can’t expect a Halloween costume to last as long as a professional theatrical costume, you do want it to at least last more than one use.
Kid Appeal – This is one factor that absolutely can’t be ignored. If your costume doesn’t have kid appeal then your toddler won’t want to wear it. You know your child best and will know what costume will appeal based on their favorite cartoons, bedtime stories and make believe play time. If they are old enough perhaps you might want narrow it down to a few choices and let them decide.
