Halloween is one of those holiday celebrations many of us look forward to each year. In fact, Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. Taking your child our trick-or-treating for the first time, or putting them in their first little Halloween costume is an event we parents cherish. Your baby probably won't remember it, but hopefully you'll have pictures to preserve those memories long after they've grown up.
The Halloween season can sometimes be scary for little kids. The celebration parents had dreamed of can easily be ruined if the youngest member of the family is scared out of their wits by all the scary Halloween sights and sounds. Going with non-scary costumes is best for the first couple of years at least. This allows kids to slowly get comfortable with the concept of Halloween and enjoy the celebration without fear or bad nightmares. By wearing a fun and playful costume, they are able to get really into the spirit of Halloween without being freaked out.
The Monkey Costume is a great idea for kids. It's just so adorable There are a number of different options available, depending on the age of your child. It's one of those classic costumes that can work for anyone. It will never look dated like the cartoon characters, and will always be a favorite. Who can resist a cute and cuddly little monkey?
For keeping warm on those cool Halloween nights, you can't go wrong with the Infant Monkey Costume. It's designed pajamas, with a zippered front, so your little monkey will be warm and cozy all night. I just love the monkey tail Another very sweet option is the sock Monkey Costume that fits up to 12 months.
For Toddler Monkey Costumes, there are some really cute options. New this year is the Flying Monkey from the Wizard of Oz as well as a Curious George costume, as well as your standard cute and cuddly monkey. There's a great selection of Kids Monkey Costume options, so you really can't go wrong with this option. In the toddler size, the Flying Monkey is a non-scary version, but that's also available for grown ups.
There's a variety of Child Monkey Costume options depending on your child's preferences, but they are all very cute. And this is a costume that will keep your child warm, which is important for trick-or-treating activities. For an older child, there are also gorilla costumes if a scary look is desired.
If you are thinking about a theme for your family Halloween festivities, you could all go as a barrel of monkeys, with each family member in a different monkey costume, and there's even a cute barrel of monkeys type of costume for dads that would really set the tone. Another idea is to all go as your favorite characters from the Wizard of Oz, perhaps with mom as the Wicked Witch and some flying monkey boys.
Whatever you decide to do, the Monkey Costume is a tried and true family favorite. It's original yet adorable, and you'll be certain to get lots of compliments on your little monkey. Happy Halloween
