3 Favorite Animal Costumes for Kids
Posted by Justin Grainger on
Everyone knows kids love pretending to be animals during dress up. Animal costumes are a great option for younger children who are just learning the names of common animals and the sounds that they make. But they are also an enduring fun play topic for older children, and will never fail as a foolproof last minute Halloween costume. Here are 5 of our favorite animal costumes for kids.
Cozy Fox Kids Costume
Kids will love this plush fox costume for dressing up as that fox from Milo and Otis or the Fantastic Mr. Fox - or maybe they’ve been inspired by the Fox and the Hound or a recent Blue Planet viewing. Foxes are not an animal you’d want to touch in real life of course, but no one can resist this super soft kids fox costume.
Realistic Hippopotamus Costume for Kids
Now this isn’t the type of animal costume you see everyday! From the uncannily realistic coloring of this costume, fading from pink to gray, to the hilarious headpiece complete with eyes, ears, and snout, your child will be sure to turn heads wherever they go in this irresistible hippo costume. Now that song “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” doesn’t have to be just for December anymore!
Octopus Costume for Kids
This costume isn’t just funny, it’s remarkably comfortable and practical as well. Ever caved in to your child’s request for one of those life-size plush snake stuffed animals, then realized your mistake when it got relegated to the bottom of the toy bin or created clutter across a long stretch of carpet? Well, this octopus costume is like eight of those snake stuffed animals in one, and it will be way easier to store in your child’s closet or dress up bin. Each tentacle is soft and cozy, not slimy - and your child can dress up as their favorite sea creature whenever they want!
