The best type of Halloween costumes for kids are one that can stand up to constant wear for at least one day and probably two. Costumes made of flimsy plastic will not last through the trick or treating, let alone for the party later. Also bear in mind that a thick furry costume may be too hot and uncomfortable to be worn for any length of time. Avoid dressing your toddler up in an elaborate costume that is difficult to get out of or you may regret it when they demand a trip to the bathroom! It can be chilly by late October in the evenings so if you are planning on taking your children out after dark make sure that they will not be too cold in their costumes or that they have something warm they can put on that will fit in with the theme of their costume.
