Halloween is a fun holiday for everyone. It has candy and parties, and it is the one day of the year when we get to be whoever we want to be without limitations in public. Of course, just like any holiday, adults tend to twist it into an excuse to get drunk, but there is still wholesome
fun to be had. Children always bring out the joy in everything. Sometimes the best costumes are the ones worn by infants who are still to young to choose them for themselves. Personally, I do not believe that babies should be dress in scary outfits to look like demons and zombies, but some people do find amusement in that kind of thing. I prefer the cute costumes.
An angel costume is a classic for small children. However, as adorable as it may be, angels are not a very unique choice. Not to mention the fact that in the eyes of parents everywhere, a child may as well be born with wings and a halo.
A Jack-o-Lantern has the same problem. You see them everywhere on Halloween every year. They line the streets and find homes on thousands of door steps this season. In the old days, a Jack-o-Lantern was thought to frighten away evil spirits and protect a household on the day that the dead walked free among the living.
You could always go with your child’s favorite cartoon character. I have seen some delightful costumes of characters from Finding Nemo, and other films recently. I particularly liked the one I saw of Squirt the young sea turtle. There was another of one of the offspring of Shrek’s Donkey and Dragon with little red wings.
Lady bugs and bumblebees are always an easy choice. Any little girl will capture everyone’s attention in a red dress with black polka dots, and boys look great in black and yellow stripes. Other animals work well too. Lions and dalmations are a popular choice, and I have seen some very eye catching little tree frog costumes. Of course, a baby chick is a very fitting option as well. Any child would look adorable as a tiny ball of yellow fuzz.
