Halloween costume inspiration

Day Nursery children model costumes donated last year by the employees of Ingersoll Rand.

There are so many cute Halloween costumes out there.  I can’t resist looking at the costumes for infants and toddlers even though my youngest Day Nursery grad is now in third grade.  (Who can resist a baby dressed up like a pea in a pod?) For the second year in a row, the employees of Ingersoll Rand in Carmel are collecting new and gently used costumes to donate to Day Nursery.  Thanks to their generosity, many children who might not otherwise have a costume on October 31, receive one through this donation.  Some of the donated costumes get year-round use in the classroom dramatic play area.  Our children love to dress up all year. If you are stumped for an idea for a costume for your child this year, check out this costume photo gallery I just found on the About.com website.  I especially like the little boy who dressed up like a coconut tree from the book Chicka, Chicka Boom Boom  http://familycrafts.about.com/od/costumes/ig/Costume-Photo-Gallery/

What are you going to be for Halloween?
