Kid's Cars Lightening McQueen Halloween Costume (Size: 6)

Customer Review: floppy
My son likes this costume as he is a HUGE Cars fan. However, it is not stiff enough and doesn't keep its shape. Even my 5 year old is upset that it looks caved in. We may sew in a plastic bar in the back to keep it straight. What a pain for paying that much.


Thanksgiving is a time of the year for great family get-togethers. Sometimes kids feel left out in this festival because they think it belongs to the adults. Allowing your kid to throw his own Thanksgiving party is a great way to allow them to cook for their friends and enjoy the holidays. It is best to pick a time near to but not on Thanksgiving Day because most families have plans for Thanksgiving. The weekend before is usually a good idea because there is a festive mood in the air.

There are several important aspects to throwing a great Thanksgiving party. Food is an important concern. Remember that kids do not like the same food as adults, so sit down with your kid to discuss what he or she and friends would like. You can also have a Thanksgiving party whereby each kid can bring along an item to share with his friends. This can be a fun way to get kids involves in Thanksgiving with less work on your part.

Another important aspect would be the decorations. Since Thanksgiving is in the fall, encourage your kid to go out with you to collect colored leaves and use them as decorations at your party. Let your kids decide what decorations to put up with a Thanksgiving theme. Getting them involved give them a sense of belonging and responsibility. Baskets of fall produce can add to the ambiance of autumn.

The third important aspect is to make sure there are plenty of activities for the children. Art projects are always popular. You can make pilgrim hats or other fall themed things with paper. Set up some examples so that children will have something to work towards. Other fun activities include Thanksgiving themed games.

Education can also be an important part of a Thanksgiving party because Thanksgiving itself is seeped in history. Thanksgiving Day is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks at the end of the harvest season. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. You can do a pageant or play or simply focused on how Thanksgiving Day came into being. However, be careful not to offend anyone with any religious implications that other parents might not enjoy you talking to their children about. In life, there are many things to be thankful for and religion need not come into play. Being thankful is a good trait and you can have a fun discussion around the table where each child is allowed a chance to talk about what they are thankful for. The important point of a Thanksgiving party for kids is to show them that Thanksgiving is not only for adults alone. Kid can have fun too.

Harry Potter Dementor Child Halloween Costume

Kids costumes from the magic world of Harry Potter! This Dementor costume will make you the star of the party as you show up straight from the depths of Hogwarts!


Now that the leaves are changing colors and the temperature is dropping, the time has come to start thinking about Halloween costumes. While there are plenty of options to consider, one possibility for men are Power Rangers Halloween costumes.

Background on the Power Rangers

If you don't remember the Power Rangers, they were one of the most popular franchises in the 1990's and continue to be a popular show for young people. Basically, the show takes a unique approach by dubbing over a Japanese show known as the Super Sentai Series. Parts of the original show which aired between 1993 and 1996 were filmed using American actors. The rest of the show was from the Japanese show but the dubbed dialogue was not based on the original script but instead was a new take on the material.

After the original run, the show continued in several new series and motion pictures. In 2007, a convention based on the Power Rangers was held. Many of the original cast members were present at the event. The show is currently prepared to be made available for free online via Disney's new streaming media service.

Other Creative Costume Ideas

Whether you decide to put on those Power Rangers Halloween costumes or not, there are plenty of great ideas for guys who want to dress up for the holiday. First, you need to decide if you want to be scary or funny. If you're choosing the latter, one of the best costume ideas is to dress like a member of the opposite gender.

Wearing the clothes of a woman for your Halloween costume may not be for everyone but it's one of the easiest costumes to put together. For example, if you have a female friend or significant other you can use her make-up and hair products. If you can't fit into her clothes, head to your local thrift store to pick up the most hideous or revealing outfit you can find for next to nothing.

If you want something simple, grab a cheap microphone, put some gel in your hair, and go out dressed as the next American Idol contestant. When people open the door or come up to you, break into song. Consider singing a song from last season. You could also consider going with other people who are dressed up as the judges and/or other contestants.

Now if you're hoping to be a bit scarier and less funny, you might want to look through the available supplies at your local party or costume store first. Even if you don't purchase a pre-made costume, it might help to find out what types of props are available. While horror movie bad guys are some of the most common scary figures on the streets at Halloween, you could always choose some of the old reliable costumes: mummies, ghosts, vampires, or werewolves.

Another idea is to go as a zombie. Wear dirty and torn clothing and apply make-up that gives you the look of being dead.

I do not know which kind of costumes you are going to wear. But if you want to buy Power Rangers Halloween costumes, I have an idea for you. You may find lots of choices on Power Rangers Halloween Costumes 2008.
