Halloween with babies and toddlers can be difficult to navigate. They're too small for independent trick or treating, but the constant doorbell ringing and strangers at the door can be upsetting at bedtime. And then there's the fact that babies are just plain super cute dressed like fall vegetables and miniature superheroes and it's a damn shame not to share that fun with the world.
But one Dad made the best - the absolute best - of the situation and constructed what is likely the most creative baby or toddler Halloween costume seen to date.
Baby sits inside, seemingly independent of any apparatus, when really, he's safe in a cozy baby carrier, kept warm and protected by dad. The costume was completely homemade and planned far ahead of time - the baby's mother says her partner had this in mind since before they even had children!
"Ryan built a frame for the body out of PVC and wrapped a cardboard shell around it and secured it to the frame with zip ties. He then cut and sculpted the other pieces out of cardboard, with some foam board details to add a true 3D effect. The legs are supported by a belt, which is hidden under the body. His arms slip into the gun pods and he has more Velcro straps on the inside in order to hold them. The feet just fit over his shoes by gluing toilet paper tubes on the inside to take up the extra space."
What a great way to mesh the celebration and fun of Halloween with creativity and artistic ability.
