Bat Costume
The wings on this costume mean that younger kids particularly enjoy wearing it! It is just a question of two measurements, some cutting and a handful of safety pins or a few quick stitches..
Halloween Costumes
Although there are many Halloween costumes available for kids these days, it is much more fun and original to make your own. Often home-made costumes are also more comfortable to wear, and if you involve the kids in the making process they will feel even more special.
