Teach Creativity by Making a Kids Halloween Costume

By: Sept Johnson

For children, Halloween is a magical time because they get to take what may be their favorite pastime of fantasy and turn it into an all-day event. What comes before the Halloween night is just as much fun as trick-or-treating itself. For children who would like to be scary creatures, this is one time when they can be encouraged to do so. You might not know that research has shown that children who pretend to be the scariest of Halloween creatures are far less likely to be afraid of imaginary monsters they encounter. So find that perfect Halloween costume for your child and start the night off with a magical tone.

Boys and girls running the streets for two hours decked out in their scariest and grossest of kids Halloween costumes is what makes Halloween exciting and fun. Allowing children to be children is what makes Halloween especially rewarding for parents. Nothing scares me more than a child dressed up as an adult the other 364 days of the year. Kid's Halloween costumes give kids a chance to break free from their stress and pretend to be anyone they wish.

Although Halloween has its detractors, it is truly meant to be a magical night that gives children a chance to engage in fantasy and realize that things are not always as they seem. For example letting your child dress up as Frankenstein, you are giving him (or her) the chance to confront those common childhood fears. Through this type of dress up, children can see that these types of monsters are, indeed, fantasy, and nothing to be afraid of.

I saw a ghoulish princess last year, all dapper and primped in her little dress and her tiara. From the back she looked like just another princess in the sea of little girl dreams. When she turned around, her hallowed out eyes and the fake blood that ran from her lips was quite convincing. The stuffed animal she carried with her had its guts sewn to the outside, to make it look like the little princess had a snack before her treats. Creepy? Yes. Imaginative? Absolutely. Harmful? Not a chance.

With Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean running as some of the most popular costumes, it can be difficult to come up with new and improved creepy costumes for kids. Using siblings, parents, and very kindly and gently using pets, as additives for a costume get up can make a simple theme go much farther. There's nothing wrong with one child dressing up as a pirate while the other one dresses up as a complimentary parrot. A willing parent can dress up as a prisoner about to walk the plank in tow. All of this make pretend is healthy, and the more the family gets into together the more the kids are going to get out of it.

Trick or Treat is a tradition that for a number of years has fallen to the wayside. Accusations about its immorality have haunted even the most active Halloween towns. Despite these attacks, bloody bats and buzzing bumble bees still parade down the street every October 31st in celebration of the day that has been modified from three other religious beliefs.
