Friday August 3, 2012 10:09pm

There is no shortage of adorable Halloween costumes for kids. Choosing the best one for your child may take a bit of compromise on the part of parent and child. As adults will want something reasonably priced, well made, great looking and safe. Children on the other hand only care about something that looks great.

Choose something that your child likes. This will generally involve something that makes them look like a favorite television or movie character. Let your child make some suggestions as to what he or she would like to be. After all this is a time to recreate yourself as your fantasy character. This is great fun for children.

For two children heading out together Thing 1 and Thing 2 are simply too cute. Sit down and come up with other famous twosomes for even more ideas. Pebbles and Bam Bam, ketchup and mustard and salt and pepper are a few to get your creativity flowing.

If you are crafty and have skills with a sewing machine search patterns for a costume your children will love. Always search for fabric on sale to save even more money. Let your child help you choose their favorite pattern. If you are new to sewing, look for something with a simple design. Before you know it you will be making your own spectacular dress up designs.

Come up with unique ways to use items around the home to turn them into something stunning to wear. Some examples are to use an old tablecloth, cut a hole in the center for the child's head. Glue paper plates, cups and spoons on to the tablecloth. Your child will be a picnic. Some plastic ants will give it an even more realistic and funny look.

A large box with holes for the child's arms and head is another idea that cost practically nothing. Cover the box in pretty wrapping paper to make your child a present. Of course you will want a bow for the head to make the wrapping complete. This would be best for someone who will be walking around. If you are planning to drive in a vehicle, this could become uncomfortable.

Shop on the Internet. With so many online stores you will not only have a great selection but also a better chance to find good deals and discounts. Many Internet sites allow you to use discount codes. Be sure to check for any that are available before you place an order. This is a good habit to get into any time you shop this way. You may find some for a percentage off or free shipping. These are great money savers.

Enjoy coming up with and shopping for Halloween costumes for kids. You are only a child for a such a short amount time. Do all that you can to give your children wonderful memories of these happy and carefree days. They will be able to look back on these treasured memories and be thankful for wonderful parents who went out of their way to make each special occasion even more special.
