How To Dress Up Our Children On Halloween

We will have to find a fun costume for our children but also terrifying and different . Children love to make original costumes themselves with the help of their parents or friends to be able to share that day with their friends and family. Sometimes the schools have parties on the day of class or many families celebrate it at home.
There are two alternatives to achieve a good costume for Halloween. We can buy the costume in a specialized store if our son is very clear about what he wants to wear and has already seen one that he likes. The other option is to make an original costume with the child. It is usually the most complicated and laborious alternative but also the most fun and original.
Disguise safety first
We have to bear in mind that it is a costume for children and all accessories have to maintain the minimum safety requirements so that children cannot suffer any mishap. For example, makeup must be free of toxic substances and pass the same tolerance tests as any cosmetic in contact with the skin.
The costumes, especially if they are for children under three years old, should not contain elements that can puncture or cut. Also, no small pieces, or cords or bags that can cause suffocation. Also if the child’s costume has a sword or cane, be careful that it is not sharp, pointed or too long. Children can easily be injured if they trip or fall while playing.
Halloween costumes by ages
