Batman has been a popular character in TV, movies, games, comic books and more for decades. Little boys, and sometimes girls, have enjoyed wearing Batman costumes for generations. Here are some ideas to help your child have fun with his Batman costume well after Halloween.

!Host a super hero party!

Does your child have a birthday coming up? If so, make it a costume party! If not, throw one just for fun anyway! Invite guests to come in their own costumes if want, but also have a pile of extra super hero props, such as Batman costumes, on hand for those that don’t come dressed up. Plan games and activities for the kids to play that focus on super heroes. It can be just as fun to put out the many bins of your child’s super hero toys and just let the kids play.

!Let him use his Batman costume as every day wear!

So what if your child wants to wear his Batman costume to the grocery store, doctor’s office or park. It doesn’t hurt anything and will give you, your child and just about everyone you come across a big smile. Take pictures of your child wearing his costume in random places. You’ll have mementos of a special time in his life that he will look back on fondly as an adult. Batman costumes can also make great pajamas. Just throw the costume in the washing machine with the rest of the laundry and then stick it right in your child’s closet or drawer.

!Use Batman costumes as a bartering tool.

Tell your child that wearing a Batman costume is a great responsibility and that he has to be good and helpful when wearing it. Make a deal with him that he only gets to wear his costume after he cleans his room, does his homework or feeds the dog. Establish a rule that children who whine, argue, throw tantrums, tease their sister or act in other negative ways do not get to wear Batman costumes that day.

Girls Witch Costumes

Witchcraft in mythology, is the use of certain kinds of supernatural powers. A witch practices of witchcraft. While a witch costume is supernatural, people have been accused of witchcraft, or have claimed to be witches. Witches are usually women.

In early Europe history, witchcraft was seen as a diabolical conspiracy against Christians, and accusations of witchcraft led to big witch-hunts.

Witchcraft is normally a cultural ideology, for explaining human misfortune by blaming it on the supernatural. It is known, however, that many of the stereotypes surrounding witchcraft evolved out of more well meaning pre-Christian beliefs about spirits, and some of those accused of being witches were in fact healers rooted in these same beliefs. Witchcraft has also been applied to cultures outside Europe, holding similar ideologies of supernatural misfortune, as well as to describe a wide variety of magical and practices.

Our modern day celebration of Halloween therefore has a rich and varied past.
Today we use this folklore as an excuse to dress up in witches costumes and play the part for one evening a year.

How To Play
Ask the kids to sit in a circle in a dimly lit room while you tell a story about a old witch who falls apart piece by piece. As you talk about each of her body parts, pass around a paper bag lined with a plastic bag, and have the kids feel inside without looking.

Each bag you fill should hold a different body part that has fallen from the witch. You could use peeled grapes for the eyeballs, a canned furry apricot for the tongue, pop kernels for teeth, cooked spaghetti for her brain, a large peeled plum tomato for her heart, cooked macaroni noodles for intestines, a slab of jello for the liver, and so on.
