Halloween Costumes for Toddlers and Babies

Halloween continues to be a popular holiday, and it would seem that it gets more popular every year. Many people are dressing up, wearing costumes and attending parties. Halloween is not just for the grown ups, you can also include your baby and small children in the fun. And if it is your babies first Halloween all the better to dress them up, take some cool pictures and introduce them to this fall time holiday.

Halloween is a great time for the family to get together and practice that good old tradition of trick or treating. And it is all the more fun when you dress up. Our daughter always enjoyed wearing costumes for Halloween. If you like costumes than you can find a large selection online or in your local stores.

Do It Yourself Costumes

But maybe you would prefer to be creative and make your own costume for your baby. You and your children can make costumes and have some fun too. If your children are of school age, this can be a great way to spend some time together and have some fun. And you can even make it a learning experience, by choosing a costume that your kid wants to learn something about. I remember one year when our daughter was so happy with the Pippi Long Stocking costume that she created, she did not want to take it off.
