Halloween will soon be here, but have you shopped for the best Halloween toddler costume ideas? Your little one may have his or her ideas of how he or she wants to look for that night of all nights.
The trick is to narrow the list of all the possibilities to just one perfect costume. However, the tough job for you is to make your little one happy with your choice. You want Halloween to be lots of fun for him or her, but it is even more important that he or she is safe. For your little one to be safe that night, keep the following tips in mind.
Safety Tips for Choosing Your Toddler’s Halloween Costume
· Your toddler’s costume should be made with materials that are flame retardant or flame resistants such as rayon or nylon. These materials may not be fireproof, but they will either resist burning or extinguish quickly. If you’re not sure it is a material that will resist burning, spray the costume thoroughly with a flame retardant that can be purchased at your local hardware store.
· Avoid masks. Masks can be dangerous since they are known to cut off your toddler’s peripheral vision. The straps holding the mask in place should hold it securely or the eye holes should be big enough to no block your toddler’s vision. Makeup can be a safer choice, but you must test it on a small spot to make sure your little one isn’t allergic to it.
· Add reflective tape to your toddler’s costume. The tape will make it easier for a driver to see your little one when walking around in the dark. If you don’t find the reflective tape, try using armbands that are glow in the dark. Necklaces may also do the trick as well.
