Halloween Costumes to Make For Baby – Great Infant Halloween …

  • April 22, 2010 9:06 pm

One of the most fun things about Halloween for Baby are the costumes. But costumes for Baby these days can be so expensive! It seems like such a shame to spend all of that money on something your child will only wear once. Fortunately there are costumes you can make for your child. You can create  fun and adorable infant halloween costumes for your kid, even if you aren’t the “crafty” type.

Begin by “shopping” in your child’s closet. Every child has their own personal style, likes and dislikes. As you look through your child’s closet, a costume idea may come to you. Have a piece of paper and pen with you as you go through the closet to brainstorm your ideas. A girl or boy in dance classes could easily wear their dance costumes as a Halloween costume – to be a ballerina or another fun costume without other needed accessories. Other ideas may come to you as you look through your child’s closet.

If your child is “crafty” involve them in the making of their costume as this is a fun activity for Baby. An easy costume to make is a pumpkin costume wearing a large orange sweatshirt and a green baseball cap with some green felt leaves on it. A crafty child will have fun making a costume.

Think of your child’s hobbies and interests as these may lead to a costume. The child who loves The Animal Planet show could be an animal wrangler, with safari outfit and a stuffed animal. A scientific child could have funny looking glasses, hair sticking out with gel to make them look like a “mad scientist.” It is ideal to have a costume that shows your child’s personality, hobbies and interests in some way.

A clown costume is easy to make. Go to the dollar store and buy a $5 bunch of balloons (5 balloons for $1 each usually). Make a clown face on your child’s face with makeup from the drugstore available for Halloween. Dress them in bright clothing. This is a fun costume for boys or girls.

Some children may be interested in a career. They may want to be a newspaper reporter or dress like a soldier in the army or a fashion model. These are all costumes you can accessorize their current clothing with features to make them look fun. The newspaper reporter would have a newspaper and a stenograph sized notebook with a pen. Newspaper reporters tend to dress kind of “preppy” and they could ask for a quote or the real story. A soldier would dress in army fatigues or camouflage. This could be enhanced with Halloween makeup at the drugstore. A fashion model could wear a trendy outfit and some minor cosmetics. Add some costume jewelry and/or a pair of  high heels. Have her or him pose for their photo as they Trick or Treat.

Making costumes for Baby can be easy and fun once you realize the options available to you. Once you start to look you may discover there are several costume ideas in front of you. For best results, involve your child in the costume decision making as they will get excited and want to wear the chosen costume even more now that they have had a hand in creating it. They will have pride wearing their Halloween costume that is special and unique.

Infants can join in on the fun on Halloween too. There is nothing cuter than an infant, unless of course it is an infant in costume. Infant Halloween costumes often are based on animals, occasionally are based on story book characters, and rarely are scary. You can let your imagination go wild when it comes to infant Halloween costumes.

Pumpkin or Jack-o-lantern costumes are easy, they can be worn over the clothing, and they do not restrict movement. The pumpkin costume usually gives an infant a pudgy look and works best with large infants. under weight infants pull off this costume better than their thinner counter parts.

Fairies or Tinker Bell costumes are adorable on an infant. A fairy costume can be made simply by adding wings to a cute summer dress or you can purchase a ready made fairy costume. Tinker Bell costumes give a Disney twist to this popular Halloween choice. when you dress your infant as a fairy you don’t want to include a wand that may get chewed on or poked into someone’s eyes.

Duck/Cow/Pig Barn yard animals are another popular choice for infant costumes. You can usually purchase an infant sleeper that has a hood with the animal’s facial features on it. these can be absolutely adorable. You can also make these costumes if you are handy with a sewing machine.

Little Devils are cute as can be on Halloween. Infant devil costumes are easy to pull off at the last minute if something happens to the first costume choice too. The costume can be as simple as a red outfit and a bit of imagination. You can purchase infant size devil costumes for your little one as well.

Baby Bugs are another cute idea for infant Halloween costumes. If your infant is just starting to crawl, these can be really cute costumes. You can purchase a caterpillar or lady bug costume and then let your little bug scoot across the floor of your party.

You should keep in mind your infant probably won’t want to wear anything that restricts movement or covers their face. A mask shouldn’t be included in an infant Halloween costume. You shouldn’t use face paint near the mouth or eyes on an infant if you do use any at all. Face paint is not needed with most infant Halloween costumes.
