How to Dress Your Kid for Halloween 2018?
So what should the perfect Kid’s Halloween costume be like? Here are some tips to remember:
- For starters, it should preferably be scary but if your child is not comfortable with scary costumes, you can go with whatever he likes, for example, a superhero costume or a policeman.
- Let your kids choose to be whatever they want and you can always help them come up with unique and different ideas.
- If you want to help your child choose a Halloween outfit, there are several tools that you can use to make their decision easier like visual aids. But it’s important to make sure that the child understands that once they choose a costume, they can not change it. And do your best to involve the children in making the costume so they can get in the holiday spirit and you can both enjoy these special moments together.
- For younger kids, comfort is extremely important as an uncomfortable costume can ruin their entire day.
- If your child is under two years old then you’re extremely lucky as you can use them as props and dress up as whatever you want. This is a luxury, not all parents can enjoy so do make the most out of it.
- If you decide to make an infant child wear a mask, make sure that it isn’t too tight and that the child can properly breathe through the mask. Masks are not just a choking hazard but they’re also known to cut off circulation to body parts if they’re too tight so always be careful with them.
- If you’re handing over an accessory to your child, check it thoroughly to make sure that it won’t hurt him or her in any way.
- For parents who plan on going trick or treating in a crowded neighborhood, it’s always a good idea to go for bright and colorful costumes as they make it easier to keep an eye on the kids. You can also use accessories like glowsticks for this purpose.
- If the costume comes with a cape, make sure that its not a very long one. If it is, try cutting it to make it shorter as longer capes are a tripping hazard for both adults and kids.
- If you’re going with a DIY costume, it’s always a good idea to opt for flame-resistant fabrics as children tend to get awfully close to candles and other flames on Halloween.
