Think Halloween and you automatically think of scary Halloween costumes, gruesome masks and any kind of food that looks as if it’s dripping blood. That’s fair enough – after all it is supposed to be that time of year when ghosts and ghouls are supposed to come and haunt us. It’s also the time of year when all the horror films are shown late at night on TV, so it’s not surprising these are the first things we think of.
But if you’re thinking of going to – or hosting – a Halloween party this year, you don’t have to go for a scary costume if you don’t want to. In fact if you are shopping for costumes for the kids, it might be good to go in completely the opposite direction! Older kids might enjoy scary costumes, but the younger ones will want something suitably in keeping with the time of year, while not scaring themselves in the process.
Imagine your toddler wearing a little Pumpkin Pie costume for example. Wouldn’t they look cute? Totally in the spirit of Halloween too! You could also buy a cute little witch costume, a spider costume or even a little devil costume (although some moms would probably say their kids don’t need the costume!).
