More and more parents are going trick or treating with their kids to keep them safe. It’s a double-edged sword, though. The kids are safe, yes, but they’re also usually disgusted by having a totally Un-Cool Thing (aka you, the parent) hovering around. Why not lessen your kid’s embarrassment by wearing a costume of your own? This year’s hot costumes for kids center around serial movies. Whether your kid wants to be an intergalactic warrior or a wizard, you can get in on the costume action without totally mortifying your little Harry or Anakin.
The continuing saga of “Star Wars” has made it easy to plan Star Wars costumes. Gone are the days of Ewok babies and R2-D2 toddlers. Kids can now be Anakin or Padme to their parents’ Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul, or Clone Trooper. Of course, if you absolutely must and the child in question isn’t able to walk or argue, you can make an Ewok. Just don’t take pictures if you want your child to choose to talk to you once he or she actually can.
The selection of Harry Potter costumes makes it easy for parents and kids to match costumes. Parents can be Voldemort or Hogwarts faculty members, while kids can be Harry, Hermione, or one of their friends. The possibilities for role-play abound here, too. Don’t forget to have fun with your kids instead of just walking with them while they gather Sugar Loot.
So you want a little lighter fare? How about The Incredibles family costumes? There’s a character for every gender and age of family member! Whether you choose to purchase costumes or personalize red sweat suits, this option allows the whole family to get in on the costume fun. Granted, you will need somewhat young children or fanatic Incredibles fans to pull this off without childhood embarrassment, but the cute factor is ridiculously high with this one.
Whatever you decide on, keep the focus on safe fun and your family is bound to have a great night full of memories.
