Trick or Treat in Style with Halloween Costumes from Oriental Trading

Shopping for Halloween costumes with a group of kids in tow has never been a pleasant experience for me. I’ll admit, I gave up on taking the kids costume shopping years ago and resorted to ordering whatever they wanted, online, because it just made the entire process easier for me. I have also spent gobs of money on costumes, until this year.

This year we told the kids their costumes had to be something other than their favorite cartoon characters. When you have a kid who has been a Power Ranger (a different one each time) every year for the last 6 years, it is time to make some rules.

Thanks to our friends at Oriental Trading Company, the kids are all set for Halloween with some fabulously affordable costumes!

Great Online Selection for Everyone

Oriental Trading has a huge selection of costumes so you can shop for the entire family at once.  The other thing that makes shopping for costumes at Oriental Trading so great is that they are affordable too!

Picking out costumes was so easy this year. Before we started looking, I told the kids we were not spending more than $25 a costume and not only did we keep it under the limit, they each found a costume they loved and had to have.

Red Crayola Crayon Halloween Costume for Toddler

Honestly, I couldn’t be happier with their choices or with the costumes overall. Each costume is durable and seems very well made. I also ordered them a little bigger to make sure there is room underneath them for warm clothes since we live in Wisconsin and it cold be freezing on Halloween. I also like to make sure that they can enjoy their costumes well past Halloween and have fun dressing up.

Joey is more than in love with his costume. He really is the happiest and brightest crayon in the box!

He loves his costume so much that it is hard to get him to take it off…….

Playing Dress-Up

I have a 4 year old.
A 4 year old who loves to wear costumes.
Every time he sees a new show or is introduced to a new super hero he immediately wants to be that person.
Thank goodness we snatched up a lot of clearance Halloween costumes last fall at a local retailer!
Since his birthday a few weeks ago, Alexander has become obsessed with Transformers once again.
His new obsession has led to him asking to be Bumble Bee and Optimus Prime once again.
Again, I am thankful for my stash of kids Halloween costumes, because we just so happen to have a brand new, never worn Optimus Prime costume for him to break out and continue his little game of dress-up!
Do your children like to play dress up?
Who do they like to pretend to be?
