How to Pick a Toddler's Halloween Costume

Halloween is a fun holiday that all young children enjoy, even babies. If you want to dress up your toddler this Halloween, here are some tips to help you pick out a costume.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Consider their comfort. A toddler will become cranky if they are not comfortable while sporting their costume. You may think the Batman costume looks adorable, but they may not like the way that it feels.

2. Buy a baggy style costume. A roomy costume will be ideal for their comfort as well as being easy to take on and off.

3. Choose a character costume. Your toddler is bound to get excited about dressing up like their favorite cartoon personality.

4. Pick a costume that suits their personality. If your toddler can be a little devil from time to time, dress him up in a red devil outfit.

5. Purchase a costume that is warm. Your toddler's costume should be insulated enough to keep them warm while outside. Dog, penguin and dragon costumes usually keep their wearers cozy.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid a toddler costume that has many little parts to it. The parts tend to get lost during trick or treating.
• Do not buy a toddler a costume with a mask covering their face. They may wear it for a picture, but after that they will not keep it on.
• Halloween make-up should not be a part of a toddler's costume. Most of these make-ups are not hypo-allergenic.
