'Elmo Costume Ideas'

Elmo Infant CostumeIf your child’s favorite things are Halloween and Elmo, the red fluffy monster from Sesame Street, then why not put them together and dress them up as Elmo for Halloween? It is a fun and comfortable costume that will look great in reality as well as in the family pictures. Apart from that, it is an age appropriate costume, which will highlight your child’s beautiful features and at the same time will retain that childish and innocent look that they have.

According to your child’s age, you can find a varied range of Elmo costumes. Probably the most popular outfits of all are those dedicated to toddlers. This is no surprise as Elmo himself is a 3 and a half years toddler, while the program is dedicated to toddlers. Thus, Elmo’s public is definitely asking for their share of Elmo!

For them there are comfortable red jumpsuits with front zipper or back velcro closing. Some have an attached headpiece resembling Elmo’s head while some others have a hood with two eyes and a nose similar to Elmo’s. You can choose one according to your child’s preferences. If they like hoods, then go for a hooded costume (which can be much more comfortable, especially if they do not want to have their head covered all day long), while if they want a real-like, Elmo stuffed head, then go for the headpiece.

Elmo child dressWhile toddlers are the main target for Elmo costumes, there are also older children and teens who still love Elmo. Thus, a great portion of Elmo fans are older than the character. But growing older does not mean giving Elmo up! There are Elmo costumes suitable for all ages. For girls, the costume producers have come up with a pretty red and fluffy dress inspired by their favorite character.

Almost all Halloween outfits available on the market have an orange belt to highlight their tiny waist, while some of them also have matching socks. Also, most of the Elmo dresses come with a tiny headband with Elmo’s figure on. They are not only extremely cute, but because they are so small and delicate they enhance the wearer’s feminine features.

Boys tend to look for simple, yet highly impressive costumes. Whether they need to be hilarious, or dramatic, the simplicity and comfort is what they most look for in their Halloween costumes. This is why the teen Elmo costume for boys is usually made up of a red, long sleeved shirt and stuffed headpiece. If your boy thinks is far too much for them or if you live in an area where the shirt will be unbearable because of the heat, just use a red t-shirt and purchase only the headpiece for a great Halloween disguise.

If someone from their group of friends has already announced they will be Elmo for Halloween, there is no need to be upset. There are plenty other Sesame Street options to dress up for Halloween. For girls, Zoe and Abby Cadabby will be great choices, while for boys, the Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch will provide cute and comfy costumes this Halloween.

Elmo costumes can really make this Halloween a day to remember for your children so start your rush through the stores or go online and purchase them their favorite Elmo costume. They will certainly spread lots of love this Halloween!

Elmo costumesThere are very little chances that you do not know anything about Elmo by now! Yet, for those who have just heard about the little red puppet and do not have enough information about it, let alone reasons for dressing up in an Elmo costume this Halloween, here is some information which may help you clear your thoughts and help you find the perfect Elmo costume for your next Halloween party.

Elmo is a little red puppet starring in the famous Sesame Street children’s program. He describes himself as 3 and a half years old, talks only in third person singular and he never uses pronouns. This gives him of type of speech resembling very much a toddlers way of talking. His high-pitch voice as well as his cute jokes and his affectionate behavior make Elmo one of the most beloved characters from Sesame Street. He usually appears along with his pet fish Dorothy and his best friends Zoe and Grover.

Elmo was initially a puppet used as source of inspiration for other characters in Sesame Street until one day, when the producers decided to take the chance and introduce little Elmo to the public. From an extra puppet lying on the floor somewhere, Elmo became one of the most loved Sesame Street characters in a very short amount of time. Many people have played Elmo since his first appearance in the 1970s.

But it was Kevin Clash who made Elmo as popular as he is. Unlike other Sesame Street characters, who are mainly portrayed as adults (ie Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch), Kevin thought to make Elmo more child-like and innocent. Elmo became an instant hit among preschoolers.

Apart from being the host of the last 15 minutes from Sesame Street, Elmo also has had a very active “social life” ever since. Invited to Martha Stewart Living, The Rosie O’Donnell Show, The Tony Danza Show, The View, Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me and Oprah, Elmo managed to improve his success and gather more and more fans each time he appeared.

Nowadays, it seems like everything related to Elmo will be an instant success just because it bears the signature of the red, furry puppet. Toys, movies and his own television show have had a tremendous success. With such a huge popularity, it is no wonder that there are many people thinking to dress up like Elmo for Halloween.

Elmo Infant CostumeThere’s a good chance that you’re baby’s first word will be “Aaaa-Mo.” It took me a while to figure out what the appeal was with Elmo – sure, he’s a puppet on Sesame Street, he’s cute and fuzzy, and he’s a bright, primary red.

I still don’t have any scientific answers, but I think his appeal lies in the fact that he acts just like a kid, while most of the other characters act closer to adults (can you imagine your 3 year old with the mentality of Big Bird? Heck, no!) Combine Elmo’s authentic child-like innocence with his bright, primary colors, his big eyes and his high-pitch voice, and you can see why infants take an immediate liking to him!

Elmo is a perfect choice for kids, because most costumes are warm, fuzzy bodysuits, making them excellent for more northerly climates on Halloween night. The bright red color also makes them highly visible to drivers, making them one of the safest of outfits to wear.

If you are going to be putting together your own toddler Halloween costume, you can find some good ideas if you look online. You can simply find a red plush bodysuit and stick on two googly eyes and an orange nose. If you think they are going to be in a stroller while wearing the costume, you don’t have to worry about boots or even having the costume look quite exact.

If your child has friends, think about having them all dress as Sesame Street characters. If you wish to dress up, and you don’t feel like wearing an Elmo costume, you can dress as Mr. Noodle! All you need are pants, a long-sleeved white shirt, a plaid vest, bowtie and a mustache. Make sure to mess your hair up, too! Of course, you’ll have to act goofy around your child!

For adults, there’s an Elmo man’s and woman’s costume. For men, you can get a fuzzy red shirt and a huge oval Elmo headpiece, which you put on and have his googly eyes and yellow nose above the opening for your face.

For women, you can be a bit sassy, with a plush red mini-dress and yellow sash, a cute headpiece that fits atop your head, and red knee-highs with yellow bows. You’ll have everybody wanting to tickle you!
