Toddler Angel Costume Idea

How to make a toddler angel costume that shows off her real personality – your little angel!

The toddler stage is perhaps one of the cutest of childhood. All toddlers have built in cuteness, along with a bit of stinkerism now and then! However, on the whole, your toddler is your little angel. The toddler angel costume is one of the best choices for a little girl, embodying every parent and Grandparent’s idea of a real angel, worthy of an extra dose of goodies. Angel costumes are easy to put together, too. Let’s take a look at some of the tips and tricks of creating the successful angel costume.

When we think of angels, we usually imagine them to in white, shades of pink and touches of heavenly gold. This color scheme defies the notion that your cute little angel is anything but 100% angel, a real photo op for your family album collection.

If you sew, it’s easy enough to find an angel costume pattern. If not, or if you’re short on time, a purchased white dress, or a fuzzy pink top and white skirt will do just fine. A gold ribbon makes a fine belt. Add some white or gold lace to the hem of the dress or skirt. Check out the notions department of the fabric store for iron-on gold stars for more sparkle, or tiny satin roses to sew to the top. One thing you want to keep in mind when shopping for accessories for a toddler angel costume is that toddlers are still putting things in their mouths that look good enough to eat. So, avoid items like glitter and beads, for safety’s sake.

Pink or white tights add to the angelic look and keep that toddler warm, too. A fuzzy ‘halo’ from the drugstore costume section is another essential for the toddler angel costume. A pair of white shoes always works. Gold shoes are also really cute if you can find them.

Now, what’s missing from your complete toddler angel costume? Angel wings, of course. You can find fuzzy wings at the drugstore, near the halos. Kids this age love soft, fuzzy things. Other angel wing designs which are popular are those made of white netting rimmed with wired ribbon to hold the angel’s wing shape. Look online as well. You’ll find a much larger selection of styles and materials in wings than you might find locally.

So there you’ve got the basics of creating the cutest toddler angel costume ever. Don’t be surprised if your toddler wants to wear this costume again and again. Hey, this may be the only Halloween costume that can be Christmas wear at family gatherings!
