Character day at school or a costume party with friends is one of the days kids look forward to most. The right costume is one your child loves and stays comfortable in all day. Here are ideas by interest, plus tips to keep the day smooth and tear-free.
For video game and anime fans
The classic Super Mario costume is recognised by everyone at first glance, and the Dragon Ball Z Vegeta costume is for anime and action fans. For the very little ones, the toddler Pikachu costume is cute and comfortable.
For superheroes
The dark knight costume for boys, the Captain Marvel costume for girls, and the Super Baby costume for babies in family photos.
For princesses
The purple Princess Jasmine costume for girls, and the blue Cinderella dress and pink princess dress for babies and little girls.
For adventure, space and history lovers
The rocket costume for space and science days, the Roman warrior costume for history days and school plays, and the ghost hunter costume for adventure-film fans.
For the wizarding world
The Hogwarts student costume or the magic student robe with the short brown kids wig completes the character.
Tips to keep your child comfortable all day
- Size: check the size chart by your child's height and age, and choose the larger size if they'll wear regular clothes underneath.
- Try-on: let your child wear the costume at home before the day, and sit and run around in it.
- Vision and breathing: if the costume has a mask, make sure it doesn't cover the eyes or nose uncomfortably; simple face paint can replace it.
- Weather: on hot days, add a light cotton layer underneath.
- Name label: write your child's name on a label inside the costume, especially for school.
