🎃 Choosing a Halloween costume for a sensory-sensitive kiddo? Here are 5 things to keep in mind as we enter Halloween season!
1️⃣ Soft & Breathable Fabrics – Skip the scratchy sequins or stiff materials. Look for cotton or jersey blends that feel gentle on the skin.
2️⃣ Comfortable Fit – Costumes that are too tight, bulky, or layered can feel overwhelming. You can even wear a favorite shirt or pair of pajamas under a costume for added comfort!
3️⃣ Minimal Extras – Avoid itchy tags, masks, or noisy accessories that can be overstimulating.
4️⃣ Familiar Favorites – Costumes based on characters your child already loves can make dressing up feel safe and exciting.
5️⃣ Practice Time – Let your child try on their costume at home before the big night. A little practice can ease transitions and help them feel confident!
✨ The goal: a costume that lets your child join the fun without the overwhelm. Comfort first, spooky second!
