Toddler Halloween outfit not scary enough?

[halloweenoutfit]

OK so my title is ridiculous, as I've just realised reading it back to myself 😂 And also, first world problems, and all that...

However ... I've ordered a Halloween outfit for my 2.5 year old DD for a nursery party (and to take her trick or treating on the evening), but now I'm thinking it's more "cute" than "scary" and I'm not really getting Halloween vibes? Thinking I should have ordered her a devil or witch outfit instead, or something?

Or does this pass as a Halloween outfit? I can't enable voting as I'm on the app, but can people just say whether they think this outfit qualifies as "Halloween" enough for a toddler? Thank you!

Deff halloween enough. Tbh it woild be a bit weird to want your toddler actually scary!

It’s fine

Very similar to what DD wore as a toddler. Halloween costumes don't have to be scary.

Well not to me as it’s a glittery cat but she’s 2.5 so can’t really go out covered in blood with a dagger 🎃

Also my costume is an inflatable unicorn soooo 🤷‍♀️🤣

My 4 year old will be a race car driver, very unscary lol & 6 year old a ninja, both picked by said 6 year old

Had they sold out of M3gan outfits in 2-3?

My daughter has a black top with witches and ghosts and a grey matching tutu with bats etc on it. I don’t like waste/single use stuff so I bought actual clothes which can be worn throughout October rather than a specific costume (though I did get a witches hat in a charity shop too). She wore it last year too. No one refused her sweets while trick or treating for not being scary 😀 I think your costume is fine!!

Thanks all! I mean it's very cute but I just thought is this actually a Halloween outfit or just a generic cat fancy dress one 😂

Some of the other ones I looked at (but were more expensive) are these ones I've attached, which to me are definitely Halloween-y (if that makes sense).

You're joking, of course.

It's not super-halloweeny, but I very much doubt any of the other toddlers at nursery are going to comment!

YABU for missing the opportunity to dress her as a pumpkin though.

I think I meant more traditional Halloween themes, so like witch / devil etc. A cat just feels a bit .... well, meh, and not specific to Halloween? I don't think I'm explaining very well 😂

Haha I love this

Ah she was a pumpkin last year when she was a little bit younger! It was adorable.

Witches have cat familiars.

Don't overthink it.

It's perfect. I think toddlers should look a bit cute, they are far too sweet and innocent to be dressed as zombies

When DS was 3 he dressed as Captain Barnacle. He’s 12 now and wants to dress as a corpse. Enjoy the cute years while they last.

You’ll be lucky if you get it anywhere near her 😂 you know what toddlers are like. Fickle.

My 6yo had that last year, she likes cats! Halloween costumes can just be fun ones too!

I think black cats are super Halloween

It’s a nice outfit. I remember my daughter dressing up as a yellow duckling for Hallow’een.

haha this is very true! She may just scream "no cat!!" at me and that's decision made, isn't it 🙈😂

Only preschool Halloween party mine went to they were Little Dead Riding Hood and The GingerDead Man respectively. DD was in a long white cape and zombie make-up with a picnic basket containing the wolf's head and DS was a gingerbread man with a knife in his back and "Run run as fast as you can" on his t-shirt.

None of the preschoolers appreciated my ingenuity.

you are seriously overthinking this. She’s 2. Her outfit doesn’t need to be scary. She probably won’t like it if it’s scary.

Why would you want to dress you young child as a devil that is really disturbing.

Don’t go ott scary for a toddler

It’s fine
