This Halloween is for anyone, regardless of age. There is no age that dressing up in a costume, whether it is cute or scary, funny or clever, is not a thrill for everyone that is or may be involved. This goes the same for the young toddlers in your life. However, there are some special accommodations and considerations that must be made when it comes to the topic of toddler Halloween costumes. Here are some of my tips for finding really great toddler Halloween costumes – with none of the head aches.

First of all, toddler Halloween costumes are obviously different for their intended wearers than other Halloween costumes. What do I mean by this? Well, first of all, toddlers are, by the very suggestion of the term ‘toddler’, still working out some mobility issues. Some are great walkers, some are still crawling, and some can run down the block in a flash. For this reason, consider how a costume can have an impact on your toddler’s abilities of mobility. Toddler Halloween costumes that impede movement can be a serious blow to a toddler that just learned how to walk.

Second of all, toddler Halloween costumes need to have… easy access. Being potty trained is not a skill learned by all toddlers equally. And even those that have graduated from diapers are still probably not experts at the complication that is a zipper. Finding toddler Halloween costumes that can allow for easy access for a quick bathroom break or necessary diaper change is nearly worth the money alone. On the contrary, there is no quicker path to a miserable Halloween than a toddler Halloween costume with a complicated and time-intensive process to remove it and put on.

As for what the toddler Halloween costumes should actually look like, I can leave that to you. Toddlers are, by and large, exceedingly cute and whatever costume you put them in, it will almost certainly create some very cute toddler Halloween costumes. The only suggestion I would make is that this is one of very few opportunities you might have to dress up your child in a costume that is not of their choosing. For that reason, I would go with the most embarrassing option you can, if only for the future photo albums. However you choose, take the appropriate practical steps to have a very happy Haloween with your toddler Halloween costumes.

The toddler stage is perhaps one of the cutest of childhood. All toddlers have built in cuteness, along with a bit of mayhem now and then! However, on the whole, your toddler is your little angel. The toddler angel costume is one of the best choices for a little girl, embodying every parent and Grandparent’s idea of a real angel, worthy of an extra dose of goodies. Angel costumes are easy to put together, too. Let’s take a look at some of the tips and tricks of creating the successful angel costume.

When we think of angels, we usually imagine them to in white, shades of pink and touches of heavenly gold. This color scheme defies the notion that your cute little angel is anything but 100% angel, a real photo op for your family album collection.

If you sew, it’s easy enough to find an angel costume pattern. If not, or if you’re short on time, a purchased white dress, or a fuzzy pink top and white skirt will do just fine. A gold ribbon makes a fine belt. Add some white or gold lace to the hem of the dress or skirt. Check out the notions department of the fabric store for iron-on gold stars for more sparkle, or tiny satin roses to sew to the top. One thing you want to keep in mind when shopping for accessories for a toddler angel costume is that toddlers are still putting things in their mouths that look good enough to eat. So, avoid items like glitter and beads, for safety’s sake.

Pink or white tights add to the angelic look and keep that toddler warm, too. A fuzzy ‘halo’ from the drugstore costume section is another essential for the toddler angel costume. A pair of white shoes always works. Gold shoes are also really cute if you can find them.

Now, what’s missing from your complete toddler angel costume? Angel wings, of course. You can find fuzzy wings at the drugstore, near the halos. Kids this age love soft, fuzzy things. Other angel wing designs which are popular are those made of white netting rimmed with wired ribbon to hold the angel’s wing shape. Look online as well. You’ll find a much larger selection of styles and materials in wings than you might find locally.

So there you’ve got the basics of creating the cutest toddler angel costume ever. Don’t be surprised if your toddler wants to wear this costume again and again. Hey, this may be the only Halloween costume that can be Christmas wear at family gatherings!
