Explore more than one theme<\/h2>

Superheroes, video-game characters, animals, occupations, pirates, monsters, robots, historical figures, and funny food costumes all offer clear visual identities.<\/p>

Ask what the child wants to feel\u2014powerful, spooky, silly, adventurous, or mysterious\u2014then offer a manageable set of choices.<\/p>

Measure and test movement<\/h2>

Use the specific size chart rather than age alone. Measure height, chest, waist, and inseam where relevant, allowing for weather layers.<\/p>

Test walking, stairs, sitting, and reaching. Secure long capes and hems, and make sure gloves still allow the child to hold a bag or railing.<\/p>

Masks, props, and footwear<\/h2>

A mask must preserve breathing and side vision. Face paint or a hood may be easier for a long route.<\/p>

Choose lightweight, flexible props and familiar shoes. Event or school rules may prohibit certain toy weapons or full-face coverings.<\/p>
