Number 1 - Reflectors

If you plan on going out at night like most people are going to do then I would suggest that you get a costume that has reflectors on it or that you put reflectors on the costume that you already have. This will make sure that drivers will see your children and not accidentally hit them.

Number 2 - Bright Colors

If reflectors are out of the question then you may want to get a costume that has bright colors. Even a zombie, ghost or witch can have bright colors. Don't be afraid to get a little crazy with costumes. The crazier they are the more people are going to notice.

Number 3 - No Sharp Objects

Great Kids Costumes For Halloween And Beyond

What is it that makes a good kids costume? Practically, it's a costume that's both safe and appropriate for the child's age. But from the child's point of view, it's usually the latest popular movie character, famous celebrity or some other part of the "pop" culture.

When you're choosing a Halloween costume for your kids, it's always best to include them in the process. You'll sometimes need to point them in the right direction and make sure they choose something suitable, but for the most part they can decide what they want to be on their own.

If you force a particular choice on them, they probably won't enjoy it as much and will probably feel uncomfortable in it.

One of the great things about being a kid is the fact that you can enjoy playing the part of whatever costume you choose. Adults who dress up rarely have that sense of actually becoming a different person or creature. Kids imaginations are active and let them get fully into character.

And kids costumes aren't just for Halloween - they don't need a special event as an excuse. Birthday parties or other events can be just as good a reason for getting into costume.

Theme parties can be particularly fun, with all the guests dressing in costumes based around a certain theme. You can even use costumes for educational purposes (just don't tell the kids that!). If they're learning about a certain era or culture, getting into period costumes can help make it a lot more meaningful for them.
