Children of all ages look forward to that time of year when they can dress up and become someone they dream of. Parents also tend to be a little less concerned with letting their kids have a little fun. It can also make you tender-hearted when you see your little girl dressed as an Arabian princess, Cinderella, or maybe even Barbie. The possibilities around Halloween time are truly endless.
There are so many costumes out there today that kids can become anything or anyone they want to be. Boys tend to lean towards becoming a pirate or someone in the military. Dad especially likes it when they see that their son wants to be a military man or a superhero.
Halloween is an annual celebration in which children go door to door and say, “Trick or treat.” They expect to receive sweets and treats. Sometimes parents like to dress up as much as their children. This time of year calls for parties in schools and homes.
You may find a store that only sells Halloween costumes. You will be surprised by everything they have. They are usually open all year. That just goes to show how popular this time of year is. You can spend hours with your child trying on all the different costumes.
Military costumes are very popular with children. They dress up in their camouflage shirts, pants, boots, and hats. You can even use a piece of tape, write his name on his costume to make it look like he belongs in the military. Guys really like that kind of thing. They may even carry a plastic toy gun.
Pirate costumes, pretending to be on board a cowardly ship on the high seas, panning for gold, sword fighting, it’s something boys like to do. They like to dress up not only on Halloween, but all year long. They build boats out of cardboard boxes or use pillows from your couch. If they don’t have a game sword, they can usually make one out of something. Children have a creative imagination.
Girls also have vivid imaginations of how and what they want to be. They tend to lean towards wearing things with frills. Who would like to dress up as an Arab princess? If you asked that question, you will find that each little one raises their hand. This outfit can be made of a silky material and embellished with gold trim. For the final touch on this royal outfit, just add a gold necklace and some ballet shoes.
Parents can make any suggestion to their child on what to wear. Children usually already have in mind what they would like to be. We as parents tend to try to compromise with our child, but in the end, it is the children who win us over. We see the emotion when they try to tell us what they want. Just remember, it’s only one night all year for a kid to be a kid.
