Toddler Tuesday
Seeing as this week is Halloween week I thought I would do this weeks toddler Tuesday with a Halloween theme.
A dilemma I have found this Halloween is how few toddler and baby Halloween costumes there are about! The ones I have seen if any are not very impressive, come on toddlers like Halloween too!! You may find that the little dresses tho not toddler size may just fit your little toddler as they come up small, but really? they aint very weather suitable. You don't want your toddler freezing on Halloween night! To put a jacket over it would just ruin the costume. I've had to take to the internet to find my little ones costume, Toddler Halloween costumes certainly need more thought in the shops!
You have to get the balance right on Halloween, and not make things too scary! When decorating your house or dressing them up, why not put a friendly face on all the scary stuff? Try pumpkins with smiles, spiders with wide eyes and jokey faces and ghosts more like casper than your scary haunting ghost. This will make your little one laugh and ease them into the Halloween tradition, if you go in all guns blazing and make it too scary they may fear it or even have nightmares!

There is plenty to keep you and your little one occupied during the Halloween week stuff that your little toddler will love and enjoy. It can be hard amusing a toddler for so long but luckily Halloween brings with it bags full of fun activities to keep theirs and your minds working you could try
1. Making Halloween cookies & cakes!
2. Pumpkin Carving :)
3. Making Halloween decorations
4. Bobbing for apples
5. Making or buying a Halloween costume
6. Watching Halloweeny movies like Hocus Pocus

Remember! Your toddler could get loads of sweeties while trick or treating, remember to keep their sugar intake low! Don't want them bouncing off the walls for a week! You can do this by spacing there sweeties out during the next weeks! Keeping their sweeties as a 'special treat' for when they are really good, or even try getting them a small bag to go trick or treating with!
This concludes my Toddler Tuesday for this week! I hope you enjoyed the read, and my little tips have helped!
Lots of Love
