Fairy costumes are the perfect outfit for little girls during Halloween or everyday, as they dance and sing to classic fairy tales.
Historically fairies lived in the forest, coming out only in the wee hours of the morning, where they spread their magical touch to change the seasons and wake the animals. There are many types of toddler fairy costumes.
One of the most popular is a Tinker Bell costume. Featured in several Walt Disney movies, Tinker Bell lives in Pixie Hollow with her friends and animals. During the course of the movie, she learns that her talents are special. Most Tinker Bell costumes are made from shimmering green and yellow fabric. Her wings are made from netting. The costume includes a flower headpiece and magic wand.
Another popular costume is a sugar plum fairy. Sugar plum fairies dance in ballets, as they flutter among the butterflies. Toddler sugar plum fairy costumes usually are various shades of purple, creating the image that the child is in the middle of a bunch of flowers. There are lots of sparkling sequins in purple and silver. A flower-petal hat and magic wand complete the outfit.
On the other hand, angel fairies dress all in white with soft, feathery wings. The costume includes a gold halo headband and magic star wand. For little girls looking for a touch of pink, a butterfly princess fairy costume is a perfect fit. The pink satin dress includes a ruffled tutu, yards of ribbon and a magic wand.
Garden fairies are down to earth as they help our gardens grow. This costume is created from earth tones containing blues, greens and browns. A garden fairy carries a watering can so she is always prepared to help nature. It doesn’t matter what type of fairy a little girl chooses. There are lots of costume choices.
Girls often want to match an older sister so most costumes come in both smaller and larger sizes. Toddler sizes range from size 2-4. Most companies provide costume measurements so a parent can get the one which fits the best.
Costumes which touch the ground can be a tripping hazard, so proper sizing is important.
Toddler fairy costumes bring children into the world of make believe. Costumes can keep little ones entertained for hours. Imaginative play helps develop social skills and is lots of fun year around.
