Schools usually enjoy a mid-term break for Halloween and just
prior to this break they choose a day when everyone goes to class in costume,
complete with all accessories including face paints. Children love it and
parents love to take their photos as they head out to door.
Costumes for Halloween Horrors
Zombies, ghoulies and manic
characters from history and fiction are favourites of most children who love to
dress in costumes and pretend they are the ones who have come back from the
dead to finish their business. The more blood and gore children can attach to
their bodies and their outfits the better they are pleased. There are wonderful
painted ‘Tattoo Sleeves’ to give the impression of a tat covered arm, latex
wounds make them appear as if they’ve been mortally wounded with blood flowing
from exposed flesh
Outfits for Halloween Magic
Not all children wish to
appear grotesque and there are very many costumes for fairy princesses,
wizards, and characters from Dickensian novels, Disney films and nursery
stories for the very small.
While the former aim for
shock / horror effect, the latter generate the ‘Awe factor’. They are dreamy,
adorable and magical.
Regardless of which category
fit’s your child, costume shops are
chock-a-block with super-duper costumes at Halloween, it’s the best time to
choose and buy from the greatest selection. Parents enjoy their childrens’
dressed-up appearance, take numerous photos and often keep the outfits as
mementoes.
Many parents like to create
their own monsters and fairy queens from garments they already own or even old
strips of material. With some creative pinning and a little shopping in the Costume
Accessoriese department they can add face and body paints,
glasses, moustaches, beards fake hands, Elvis like belts, medallions, vampire
teeth, magic wands, crude cudgels, fierce swords, whips and much more.w
