As the middle of October approaches parents start to think about Halloween costumes for their kids. Searches on the computer for a new awesome outfit or a trip to the local costume store are planned. Your children’s first infant Halloween costumes might have been one of those snuggly bunting type outfits that keeps them cozy and warm, yet costumed. Remember that cute “Pea in a Pod” outfit? When your kids reach that early walking stage, it’s time to consider toddler Halloween costume outfits. Fuzzy animal designs are a popular category.

Toddler Halloween costumes offer designs in many of the same genres you will find for older kids. Just as there are gender specific Halloween outfits for older kids, there are also toddler costume looks that might be more appropriate for either a girl or boy because of their color or style. An example: The Lil Champ costume for boys has an attached muscle chest with the boxer shorts to give the illusion that your child has rock hard stomach muscles of a career prize-fighter! If you are a motorcycle loving family there is a tough-looking Harley Davidson R outfit for a little boy, which includes the required black leather (faux) biker jacket, trimmed in silver, a Harley Davidson shirt, black pants with an orange bandana sporting the Harley Davidson logo. While the corresponding toddler Halloween costume for a little girl is called the Harley Davidson R Pink. This look includes a pink faux leather jacket, shirt, skirt, and bandana emblazoned with the Harley Davidson logo. Within the genre for occupation-related toddler Halloween costumes you’ll find quite a few looks for boys, such as the UPS Guy, Mr. Postman, Train Engineer, Jr. White Astronaut, Construction Worker, Cowboy, and Doctor. The same Doctor or Astronaut outfits are the same for a little girl. However, the cowgirl outfit is a very feminine pink, frilly look.

What would little girls do without those classic witch, ballerina, angel, and princess toddler Halloween costumes? Super heroes are always a favorite category for all children. The designers for toddler costumes offer such favorites for boys as Spiderman, Batman, Robin, Superman, Wolverine, and Captain America. Little girls will enjoy the female versions such as Supergirl, Batgirl, as well as Wonder Woman. Beloved characters from classic children’s storybooks and nursery rhymes also abound for this delightful age group. How about choosing a fuzzy Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, or their friend Eoyere outfit? Children’s TV shows provide another category with many cute selections including characters from Sesame Street with Kermit the Frog, or Nick, Jr. with Yo Gabba Gabba characters for both little girls and boys. Your toddler will adore dressing up in character every time she / he watches Yo Gabba Gabba or Sesame Street.

There is also a great costume of the martial arts fighting bear, Kung Fu Panda. Classic movies such as The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland and even Frankenstein provide inspiration for darling toddler Halloween costume ideas.

As you read the descriptions on the toddler Halloween costume product pages, be sure to see if there are accessories that go with the outfit. Accessories may be shown in the photographs, but are often not included with the outfit. For an easy and inexpensive way to add an extra little something to your child’s look, consider purchasing the appropriate accessories.

Children grow so quickly that their favorite play outfit may become too small and tight way too quickly. Remember how swiftly they outgrew their infant costumes? A smart approach to buying costumes for all your kids is to search for the highest quality costume at the lowest prices. Look for stores that offer wholesale prices. Unfortunately you’ll find that most Halloween costume stores, whether in your hometown or on the Internet, sell at retail prices. However, one unique online store, the Wholesale Costume Club, offers great costumes for your entire family at wholesale prices. By becoming a member for an annual fee of only $5.00, you’ll have access to their discounted prices. With the savings you gain after your first purchase, you will recoup your membership.
