We have our costume choices sort of made for this year, maybe you do too. But what about the kids? Choosing costumes for your kids is a hard task. You should let them start picking out their own when they start to show an interest but with your approval on them. As they get older, the costume choices may get more daring or more gory and it's up to each parent to decide how far to let it go.
Some kids are very shy, even when they get into their teens. They may want a costume that has full coverage, like a ghost, super hero, zombie, anything that comes with a full face cover. Our son, last year, went as a very creepy gorilla. It had a full face mask that hung down to his waist! He was 17 last year and he's still a bit shy around large groups of people, takes after his mother that way. The point is, let them choose what they are comfortable with and they'll love Halloween forever! Don't force them to wear a costume that you like, wear it yourself! let them decide what they want to be and if it's within reason then no problem.
I found a new Halloween costume site that you might want to check out, Costumes for Kids. They have costume ideas for kids 5 years through about 17 years. Very cool!
