Last year, I had to hunt for a Halloween costume when the preschool in China announced that they would be celebrating this dress-up event 
My boy was only 3 then, sweats a lot and didn’t fancy anything over his head. Also, there were limited characters he was familiar with since he’s a HUGE Thomas the Tank Engine fan. He also only knew about:
- Bob the Builder and
- Fireman Sam
Gosh, I wish we could have bought these *CUTE* costumes (with the accessories!!!):
As I only had ONE costume outlet to shop at, I only found the little Musketeer the most suitable. To join in the fun, I dressed up as a Musketeer myself. It was pretty easy since I only needed a buccaneeer blouse, stretch pants (like jodhpurs) tucked into boots. I also got myself a feathered hat to match LOL
This year, he’s into more characters as he’s reading more Winnie-the-Pooh books (he used to identify with “Roo” and loves “Tigger” but now he says he looks like “Christopher Robin”).
After watching Batman & Robin and Batman Returns (rather violent and I’ve hidden away the DVD)
He just *LOVES* the segment when Batman puts on his costume – you know, the mask, the gloves, the utility belt and of course, the arrival and opening of the Batmobile!
For now, I approve of Batman (and not Superman due to the fantasy of flying off roofs) and think he’d look really cute strutting about in a Batman costume
Unfortunately, his preschool here will NOT be celebrating Halloween, which means his Batman fantasy is very much confined to the TV.
Sigh! I hope that they’ll have drama, dress-up sessions and theatrical events though because he LOVES imaginative play and dressing-up…
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Have fun dressing up
