Having Fun Safely With Infant Halloween Costumes

Halloween is a time when the infants can also have fun. It is really interesting dressing them up in different kinds of costumes. It is really cute to watch these children below two years and parents enjoy dressing them up.

It is really simple to dress the infants in costumes of animals and birds. They can be dressed up in baby bunting costumes. They can be dressed as a bunny, a lamb, a dragon, a monkey, a puppy or a duck. They can wear the costumes of brave lions, striped tigers, teddy bears, baby elephants, cuddly cats or dogs, birds with feathers, colorful peacocks, bumblebees etc. They can also be dressed as a caterpillar, a lobster or even a goldfish. Infants can also be dressed as a pizza slice, a banana, a football, a Hershey's kiss or even a little devil. It is easy to make them wear a pant and shirt of the material and color that is suited to that particular animal or bird. Then accessories can be attached. Masks can be also given. Infants love to dress up in the clothes of animals which they can identify with.

Infants nowadays watch a lot of television. They can identify characters in the television shows. So, they can wear costumes that make them look like Superman, Batman and Spiderman. They can also be dressed up as Tom and Jerry, Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse, Pokeman, Winnie the Pooh, etc.

They can also be made to look like fruits, vegetables and flowers. The right type of costume has to be chosen and they can identify with the dress. The infants can also wear the costume of Barbie doll or an angel. Girls would love to look like Barbie doll.

While dressing up infants in various costumes some safety measures should be followed. The infant has to wear the costume for quite some time. Care should be taken so that the costume chosen should be comfortable and not too tight. It should also not be too long such that it will make the infant trip and fall. It should not irritate the skin of the infant. The costume should also suit the weather conditions of the place. If it is too cold, the infant should have layers of clothing inside the dress. If it is a warm place, the costume itself should be of a light material.

The infant should be placed in an area where there are other infants. This will provide safety for the child. When it is dark, the infant should be easily seen and recognized. It will be good to stick a reflective tape to the costume so that it is easy to identify the infant in the Halloween party. The reflective tape can glitter and shine. It can be placed on the wings of a fairy or the hood of animals or on the back or the front of any dress.

There will be jack-o-lanterns at the Halloween party. Since the material chosen might not be fire resistant, the infant should be carefully looked after.

An infant might not be ready to wear a mask, since they will not be able to see properly through it for a long time. The best thing would be apply light make up. Any over-the-counter paint that is used on the face might be zinc or acrylic based. The paint might not be easily removable on face, hair and clothes. If make up is used, it should be tested for sensitivity. If a cold cream base is used, it will make the removal of make up easy.

Care should be taken to ensure the safety of the infant so that the whole family can enjoy the Halloween festive mood.

The Ever-Popular Halloween Children Masks

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Halloween Costumes - But Were Too Spooked to Ask!

Image : http://www.flickr.com

Why is Halloween such a popular holiday? Why is Superman so much sexier than Clark Kent? We all prefer the secret lover who can fly, right? Or moonwalk. Or go to Hogwarts and play championship Quidditch. Or sink their teeth into our jugulars. Or counsel Captain Kirk from an emotionally detached, logical perspective. (The five most popular Halloween costumes in 2009 were Superman, Michael Jackson, Harry Potter, vampires and Captain Spock from "Star Trek.")

For one night out of the year - with the help of the right Halloween costume - we can shed our prosaic everyday identities, protective mimicries that protect us but conceal us, and reveal our secret personas to the world. It's liberating. More than that, it's intoxicating - it revs up the production of chemicals inside your brain, serotonin, dopamine, vasopressin and oxytocin, neurotransmitters linked to happiness and passion. For one night every year, on October 31, imagination is king, there are parties everywhere and TV networks run awesome, all-night horror marathons.

Plus there's the candy. Those sugary, tricolor kernels called candy corn; those tasty, corn syrup replicas of witches, black cats and harvest moons. Seventy five percent of all candy corn is sold around Halloween, but the sweet treat has proven so irresistible it's been customized for other holidays as well: Santa Claus brings reindeer corn (red, green and white), Valentine's Day brings Cupid Corn (red, pink and white) while the Easter Rabbit brings Bunny Corn (pastel colored.) The Tooth Fairy, as you can imagine, sits the candy giveaway out.

Halloween originated over 4,000 years ago as a Celtic holy day called Samhain. The Celts occupied what is now the United Kingdom, as well Brittany and Aquitaine in northern France, and Asturias and Galicia on the Iberian Peninsula. They observed their New Year on November 1, which they marked as the beginning of the winter cycle, a time associated by their Druid high priests with human death. On October 31, or so the Celts believed, there was a brief interval between the old year and the new during which the ghosts of the dead returned to earth to wreak havoc. To appease these vengeful spirits, the Celts built huge bonfires at which they sacrificed crops and animals, disguising themselves in animal skins. These were the earliest Halloween costumes.

By 43 A.D., the Romans had conquered much of the Celtic territories and the indigenous festival of Samhain had merged with a Roman holiday called Feralia, a celebration of the goddess of apples. Even today, bobbing for apples is a favorite pastime at Halloween parties.

Six hundred years later, the Roman Empire was history though the Holy Roman Catholic Church was going strong. Still, the spooky pagan festival of the dead was still being celebrated. Pope Boniface IV decided to replace the idolatrous festival with a church-sanctioned holy day - and so All Saints Day, observed November 1, was born. The night preceding it - still a window through which tormented souls might creep - was called All-hallows Eve, later shortened to Halloween - the holiday we love to celebrate today.

Hard up for a costume this year? Consider remembering those early Celts with a wild boar skin and a pigs head!

Kids Halloween Costumes

At the end of October, kids and adults dress in costumes in such a way to scare neighbors, friends and relatives. It is called Halloween and worth celebrating it. When you combine with candy, spooky costumes with fun, Halloween is one of the most enjoyable holidays. Here are some Halloween costumes that are considered favorite among the people for years.

The costume of cowboys and the sheriffs has always been a favorite Halloween costumes among the younger generations. When I was a kid, the cowboy costume was very popular and even nowadays I still see fair share of boys in cowboy costumes. Cowboy costumes are very popular among boys just as the princess costumes are famous among girls. Little girls always love to dress up in dresses like that of princess, which sparkles. Some girls also love to dress up in witch costumes with wands and scepter to look evil.

The costume of pirates is also very popular among boys especially after the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Even girls want to be dress up like captain jack sparrow. The other famous pirates costume includes captain Hook. Apart from these, peter pan is also popular among kids who fancy fairy tales and fantasy movies. Some girls even wear the costume of Wendy.

For girls, the witch and princess are two costumes that won the heart of many girls. They work well and the costume industry also earns a lot designing such costumes. This all depends on individual though most girls prefer costume that has different shining colors, which look sparkles at night. Some wanted to look scary whereas some wanted to look fairy. There are also different kinds of mask available with the costumes. For the witch, they have long nose with a cone shaped hat, which makes them more evil when worn. For the pretty witch, the color shedding on the costumes are lighter and don't have a long hook- nose at all.

Naughty boys and girls always love to look evil so most of them chose their Halloween costumes in such a way to look scary. The costume of a devil is scary and controversial. There are parents who don't want their kids to dress up in a devil costume. The devil costume has a tail with horns all in red with black tight pants. This Halloween costume is one of the coolest costumes among some kids.
