I am lucky, and so are my kids. When I used to go trick or treating on Halloween, minus the very few exceptions, my siblings and I never had a costume ready. It was always last minute gathering of materials and panicking ourselves into mashed up characters. Well my boys and my sister's girls do not have the same problem. My sister and I have lots of fun coming up with new ideas and have things at least planned almost a year in advance lol. This may be going overboard but we like to think of group costume ideas for the kids to go together as. Until they are all too old to want this, we are fully taking advantage of us being able to be creative. Rainbow Brite, Raggedy Anne and Andy, and Strawberry Shortcake are a few that we have done.
This year we are buying the costumes instead of hand making them. It steals a little of the fun away for us but it also takes some of the stress away too. We deserve a year off of all the planning and preparing. This year we have pretty much decided to go with the Wizard of Oz. What a classic huh? And you would think that you may have trouble finding all the extra characters besides the main ones we all know. This is not the case however. I got the Cowardly Lion Child Costume in the kids costumes section at Wholesale Halloween Costumes. This costumes' retail value is $49.99 and the wholesale price is $29.80.
I have the two boys in the group, so there are many characters I could do. They chose the lion however and we'll see who the other may be. The lion costume is perfect for both boys to play pretend in also because they always act like animals anyways. They are constantly going around pretending to scratch each other up. I got the costume in size small and since both boys are very similar in size, either one could wear it. I have put it on both and it looks fine on both. I didn't know if I liked the costume at first when I first saw it, but once I got it on Lil Riot, I fell in love. It is so great! The only thing I could possibly wish it had, is the the curls that the lion receives at Emerald City since this is a well known look for the lion. Either way though, we all loved it! Here is my handsome little guy in a couple more photos of this adorable costume...
This costume fits better on his 5 year old brother, but as you can see it looks fine on him too and he is 3. I also like that this will be nice and warm because it seems that Halloween in good ol' Maine seem to be getting colder and colder. This will definitely be better with the chills! And how can you not love this munchkin get up?
Wholesale Halloween Costumes have a huge variety of characters or classic costumes for both genders and in baby to adult sizes. To complete the Wizard of Oz set I may go with the Tin Man in boys costumes, or Glinda in girls costumes.
I am very excited for this year, and it is never too early to get the costumes in order. It will only mean less work and no last minute stressing. Grabbing a costume here and there throughout the year makes it a whole lot easier when there is multiple kids. Not to mention, the kids that love pretend... this is an all year thing anyways. I have a nephew that everyone would get different costumes for his birthday too because he loved to dress up as different things all the time. He has kind of outgrown this, but his collection is huge all the same. It sparks imagination, and we all know the girls love dress up!
My thoughts on the costume itself:
Absolutely love it! It is adorable, seems to be well made and be comfortable enough. It is made of nylon and needs to be hand washed. I personally didn't have a problem with the 'hand wash' cycle on my washer but you do want to be careful of the fur coming apart. It dries quick hung up and I would suggest doing so. You don't want the lion all patchy when they have their big night! We have gotten several compliments on this costume already.. when held up it is not so impressive, it does the trick once its put on!
Our lion is quite happy to show off thanks to Wholesale Halloween Costumes :)
