Every year children of all ages dress up fun costumes and walk around their neighborhoods collecting all kinds of candy. This time of year is almost upon us again and for many children it will be their first year to trick or treat. If you have a young one preparing for their first trek around town you are probably starting to think about Halloween costumes for toddlers. Below are a few things you should consider.

Safety

The number one thing to remember about Halloween costumes for toddlers is safety. Most manufacturers today also keep this in mind, however you should do due diligence before dressing your little one up this year.

A Halloween costume for toddlers should have no small beads or dangling items that they can tear loose and put in their mouth. Toddlers are prone to exploring the world first with their hands but just about, everything they touch goes in the mouth. Costumes for toddlers should not be too long, tight around the neck or have anything that ties around the neck, as this is a strangling hazard.

Choices

Once you have determined that the costumes you are looking at meet all of the safety guidelines above it is time to choose the perfect toddlers Halloween costume. Costumes will fall into two general categories, timeless and current characters.

Timeless Costumes

Some examples of timeless toddler’s costumes are Cinderella, Strawberry Shortcake, Spiderman and Superman. These costumes have been around for many years and show no signs of disappearing anytime soon. Besides, everyone loves a classic toddlers costume like Cowardly Lion, Darth Vader or The Cat in the Hat.

It is wonderful to see your toddler all dressed up in a similar costume to one you may have worn when you were little, such as the blue and white gingham dress and ruby slippers from that timeless classic The Wizard of Oz. This cute toddlers Halloween costume has accessories that can be purchased separately, instead of a trick or treat bag children can carry a replica of Dorothy’s basket complete with a plush Toto dog!

New for 2011

The latest cartoons and blockbuster movies often play a huge role in the new Halloween costumes for toddlers every year. For 2011, you can expect to see additions like Iron Man, Toy Story, and Alice in Wonderland costumes.

Other New toddlers Halloween costumes include:

• My Little Pony
• Shrek
• The Penguins of Madagascar

If you and yours are Star Wars fans, everyone can get in on the action. New this year are Princess Lei, Darth Vader and Yoda costumes for the toddler all the way up to adult.

Conclusion

Halloween is a fun time of year that the whole family can enjoy and when it comes to choosing your Halloween costumes for toddlers you will have plenty to choose from.
