Fall is in the air and that can only mean one thing; Halloween is just around the corner. The early birds have probably already picked out their costumes, but many of us are still deciding what to dress our children up as (or waiting for them to decide what they want to be).
Whatever the choice is, there are a few things to consider before making your purchase:
1. Size matters.
You need to know what the weather is where you live. I am in Canada where Halloween usually requires a jacket and sometimes even a winter coat. When selecting a costume we always buy a side that will fit over the warm clothing. Otherwise, the costume is going to get covered up and that is no fun on Halloween night.
2. One piece suits and infants and toddlers
If you have a child in diapers or a toilet trainee on your hands you might want to look for 2 piece costumes to make diaper changes and potty breaks more manageable. (trust me)
3. Costumes and School
Many schools do not allow scary costumes at school because some children are afraid. Most schools do not allow weapon replicas either. When choosing a costume that will be warn at school it is important to know what the guidelines are for your school.
Remember to also keep your children safe on Halloween by ensuring they have something reflective on their costume and that they do not go trick-or-treating alone.
