There are all kinds of uses for costumes during the year.  They aren’t just for Halloween!   I’ll bet you creative gals can come up with all sorts of uses for costumes in the spring and summer months.  I teach ancient history for 6th graders and love the historical adult costumes on HalloweenMart.Com.  There are lots of options for teachers, such as Napoleon, Vikings, and Abe Lincoln.  My students would love it if I walked in dressed as Cleopatra!  I think this would make any lesson so interesting and memorable.  Considering that the costume could be used every year as a classroom resource, possibly by multiple teachers, it would be a reasonable investment, too.

What about wearing your favorite Avengers character costume and hosting a party when it comes out on DVD?  I can just imagine how much my husband would like to see me dressed as the American Dream.  Or consider buying your kids a variety of the kids costumes and save them for a rainy day this summer.  Let them put on a play for you using the new costumes!  This activity will really build your child’s imagination and make a stay-home day a total blast!

This is also a great time to shop for Halloween Costumes.  Wouldn’t it be nice to pick out a costume without having to fight everyone else in the neighborhood for the size you need?  For extra savings, check out the sales page.   HalloweenMart has a clearance section with a really great selection.  For example, this toddler’s Strawberry Shortcake costume is priced at only $15 right now.  I think that is a fabulous price, as it includes the shirt, pants, and hat with hair!  I would have a hard time making the costume myself for that price!   And if you’re really going all out, don’t forget your dog…….check out this cute costume!
