A Guide to Baby Halloween Costumes

Halloween is nearly here yet again and that means, among other things, time for Halloween costumes. Now, I love all manners of Halloween costumes, but my favorite costumes might have to be baby Halloween costumes. Why? Baby Halloween costumes might be the cutest thing in the world. While it is a pretty hard thing to mess up, here are some guidelines if you have a little one this holiday season.

The obvious baby Halloween costumes are pretty self-evident. Every baby looks cute dressed up as produce; apples, lettuce, pumpkins (an especially good and appropriate touch), and the ever popular pea in a pod. Not so cute? Broccoli or eggplant.

Another good choice for cute baby Halloween costumes are animals, obviously of the baby animal variety. Some popular ones here include lions, bears, rabbits, cats – basically anything little and furry. Animals to avoid include bats and moose; though strangely, scaly creatures like frogs and snakes make cute animal baby Halloween costumes.

Finally, another easy pick are cartoon characters. Whether from children’s shows (every baby looks good dressed up as Elmo or Cookie Monster or Winnie the Pooh) or children’s movies like Wall-E or Finding Nemo or Ariel The Mermaid Princess, animated characters are a great choice for cute baby Halloween costumes.

These options for baby Halloween costumes are great, because they add cuteness onto the existing cuteness of a baby. But you could add another layer to the baby Halloween costumes by avoiding the easy and cute options. I find it better, personally, to go the opposite route. A baby accountant Halloween costume, for instance, is still cute, but funny and original also. Same goes for a baby doctor. This works esepcially well because regardless of what you dress your baby up as, the cuteness usually overwhelms the costume anyhow.

The final thing that you should consider as well is that baby Halloween costumes represent a rare opportunity for parents: the chance to embarrass your children without seeming cruel. The more embarrassing the Halloween costume, the more embarrassing the Halloween photo album you get to share with your future son or daughter in law. Use this opportunity wisely, as in only a few short years, you won’t be able to dress up your kids in costumes without their input on the matter.

Finally, baby Halloween costumes should not be expensive. Shop around at a variety of costume shops online to compare prices and find the best deals. This is the best way to find great and affordable baby Halloween costumes without leaving the house

Halloween 2009 is around the corner, and as the end of October nears, the costume festival of the year has brought even the most reluctant mermaid admirer out into the open. The Toddler Mermaid Costume is very popular, and in great demand.

The mermaid has definitely featured in myriad of stories and movies over the years and strangely enough in varied form, like Ulysses’ Sirens on one hand, and then in. Disney’s comedy ‘Splash’ starring Daryl Hannah on the other.

The Disney success has been most ably backed up by the musical ‘The Little Mermaid’, based on the famous children’s fairytale of the same name, by Hans Christian Anderson.

The myths and legends are equally abundant. Some folk tales have it that the mermaid could automatically transform it self into a complete human when it left the ocean and got onto dry land, and there are other stories that claim the mermaid had to perform feats of astounding magic in order to be transformed into a full human.

The fact that the mermaid was an aquatic creature, but half human, is what makes it so enchanting to a lot of humans of all ages.

The story about the cruelty of the mermaid luring sailors to their death is one side of the mermaid that is very easily forgotten.

Disney’s Ariel, the mermaid princess was originally cast as a sweet demure little mermaid, allowing for toddler mermaid costumes to be a natural adaption, but strangely enough, nothing stopped the costume industry from designing costumes on the ‘Ariel’ theme to suit girls and women of all ages and sizes.

Since then women of all ages have used the mermaid costume fashioned after Disney’s Ariel for Halloween, theme parties, fancy dress competitions, or any occasion that called for a sexy female costume There are a variety of mermaid costumes, like the Sexy Adullt Mermaid Costume, or the Vintage Plus Size Mermaid Costume, and the Adult Ariel Costume or the Child Ariel Costume.

Mothers, have found it very acceptable to recast the sweet little mermaid into something completely different, as they dressed their little girls up in a costume for the evening.
