Disney Pixar's Brave Merida Costume

My grandchildren love playing dress up. That's is why I was so excited to review the this beautiful costume from Costume Discounters. After looking over their girls costumes for hours on end my granddaughters decided their favorite costume was the Child Disney Pixar's Classic Brave Merida costume.
Can you imagine when our package arrived how happy and excited two little girls could get? I could hardly wait to see my granddaughters in this costume. The dress is a beautiful blue with sheer gold trim and has a cameo pin of Merida as an accent. With a straight neckline and diagonally cut sleeves and a flared skirt any little girl can become princess Merida.
The features I like best on the costume are the gold brocade trim on the dress bodice, the fine gold trim on the sleeves and the gold metal buckle accenting the belt.
The costume is easy for my granddaughters to wear with out help. The dress closure is Velcro and the belt is also attached with a Velcro closure.
My thoughts about the costume will be that any little girl would be thrilled to wear this costume for Halloween or dress up every day.
The costume came with a gold belt that completes the costume perfectly. We were so excited to try the costume on that we forgot to get pictures of the belt on the costume. But do not worry we got some pictures of the belt after my granddaughters were tucked into their beds.

Being a customer at Costume Discounters has kept me informed of all the costume news on what is now trending in children and toddler's costumes. 

Everyone knows how children love to play pretend dress up. My grandchildren are no different. We all enjoy seeing our children or grandchildren playing princess, pirates or even the Easter bunny! Being able to give them many costumes to dress up and play their favorite character will encourage creativity. This will help our children to grow into creative adults. 

What activities do you encourage  to help develop creativity in your children or grandchildren?

Happy Halloween!

Our Little Pirate!

Unfortunately we did not go trick-or-treating. Our village canceled the event because of the bad weather. We made the best of it and carved a pumpkin.

I was having so much fun helping Little Bug carving our pumpkin. I forgot to tell the little guy that the inside was going to be gooey and sticky. His expression tells you what he thought about the insides. Little Bugs bad hair day can be blamed on Hurricane Sandy's humidity! These photos are from my phone so sorry about the blurry photos. They are priceless non the less. 

 

I hope you all had a wonderful day!

Plush Giraffe Toddler Halloween Costume

This year we asked Pooh Bear what costume he would like to wear for the preschool Halloween parade? We should have known the answer it was obvious. He seriously said "Mom, I want to be a giraffe with a tall neck!" Not a super hero, nor a cartoon character, monster, or dinosaur. Just a giraffe with a tall neck!

This is Pooh Bear Feeding his favorite animal a carrot! Can you see why he wants to be a giraffe? Thanks to Supercenter for costumes for allowing me to review this awesome giraffe costume.

Do you see how tall he is standing. He wants to be tall just like a real giraffe! The costume is made in 100% polyester fabric. It has a soft plush feel. I expect it will be nice and warm on Halloween. Pooh Bear lives in the north and it does get cold by the end of October so this will be great to keep him warm. The mittens and feet are attached. The mittens have an opening so a child can take their hands out or keep them in. The feet cover the shoes but have no bottom. There is a Velcro attachment to attach to the shoes. This should prevent tripping over the feet. The hood shaped head is not attached. The chin strap has a Velcro closure. I have looked over all the seams and the workmanship in this costume is of high quality.

The size we are reviewing is a 2t-4t. Pooh Bear weighs 32lbs and is about 45 inches tall. Yes, he is tall for a 2 1/2 year old. The costume fits perfectly as you can see in the photo.

I like to have lots of costumes around for the grandchildren to play dress up. I like to encourage imaginative play. Buying costumes at discount prices makes it even more fun for grandma. If your grandchild needs a costume the Costume Super Center is the place to visit. Their selection is super and I am sure you will find a high quality costume at a fantastic price. For a limited time you can take an extra 15% off on costumes $30 or more. Use the code Ghostly. Follow Costume SuperCenter on twitter to keep up with all the new costume happenings.
