Dress Your Kid in a Fairy Halloween Costume

Let your kids discover the fun of dressing up when you select a fairy Halloween costume for them to wear. While being a fairy is a great idea for Halloween, your kids can actually wear this look any time of year as part of dress-up play or on special days when they get to pick their own outfits. Get lost in the fantasy of becoming a magical creature while shopping the delightful array of sparkly, gauzy costumes available at Pottery Barn Kids. With so many different colors and features from which to choose, you might find yourself stocked with a fairy Halloween costume for a week's worth of Halloween parties and parades.

Fairy Halloween Costume Must-Haves

Being a fairy is a lighthearted and playful experience for kids, so take the time to ensure the fairy Halloween costume you choose hits all the right notes. Any time you play dress-up, imagination is vital, but the right costume can really inspire a good time.

• Layers of tulle are a must to get that airy look that comes from flitting and flying about town or other realms. This gives fairy skirts their volume and bounce as young fairies race from house to house in search of treats.
• A set of wings is important for fairies to get around. Lined with metallic silver or adorned with sequins, you can't help but smile as these wings flap behind excited kids.
• A wand helps fairies make their magic, so make sure your costume comes with a wand that matches all that tulle for granting wishes or divining candy.
• A matching candy bag to go with a costume is a fantastic detail that defines these costumes apart from others. With easy-carry handles and matching ruffles around the bag, your fairy can fly home with all the candy.

Choosing Between Beautiful Costumes

Choosing which fairy Halloween costume to bring home can be tough. Be sure to start shopping in time for any festivities, although if you can't decide between two, choose them both and let them live in storage bins for later playtime with friends.

• Let your kids decide which colors they love. Choose from shades of pink, purple and aqua, all with different sheer touches for texture and dimension.
• A costume that lights up seems like an obvious choice for your fairy. Show your kids how they might look so they can pick.
• If they have friends they want to trick-or-treat with, get everyone in on the fun and select complementary costumes together.

Prepare for a lively Halloween and lots of future dress-up fun with a fairy Halloween costume.
