Halloween is just about the most fun holidays we have now. Each year we all enjoy dressing up in costumes, having parties, and naturally the candy. As babies they may not understand the whole ritual, but they certainly provide entertainment and a little fun to the night.

If you are searching for ideas for your baby this year you might want to look at the Raggedy Ann baby costume or Raggedy Andy. Raggedy Ann and Andy are characters from decades ago. While you possibly will not think they are still popular once you have kids the story of Raggedy Ann and Andy comes alive again. To create a Raggedy Ann baby costume at home you will require a few materials and a few ideas.

First Raggedy Ann is commonly seen with a red curly mop of hair, a blue bonnet with white ruffles, a polka dot blue and white dress, and an apron. To produce a Raggedy Ann baby costume at home from the materials you have you can pick a dress already in your baby's closet and add an apron. It won't take much to convert an old apron to child size.

Generally we also have bonnets for our children in their closets so you can chose one that has ruffles and the blue color. The wig can be fashioned out of something you buy or yarn. Red yarn can make the ideal wig for Raggedy Ann, you take the guts and make little ringlets or curls til you have enough to cover the head of your baby.

If you would prefer to create the Raggedy Ann baby costume from scratch you will need to have a pattern. You will discover designs online or in your local craft store. The dress and apron are really quite simple so it doesn't have to be a Halloween pattern. You can choose any pattern for the dress you like. Take into account that the typical fabric must be blue with white polka dots. This will help you signify the theme you've chosen.

If you select a Halloween pattern for the costume you will also get instructions on how to make the bonnet, apron and even the wig in some cases. It will make the whole costume easier. According to the age and location you live in you need to create a sleep style dress to encase the baby's legs. This can make the full costume a little warmer for them. Otherwise you need to add little blue shoes to the costume with white ruffle socks.

Your only choice doesn't revolve around generating a costume in your house. While it sometimes may fit better into your financial budget or your desires to make clothing, there are also Raggedy Ann baby costumes online. You may also make a whole family affair out of the Halloween theme by dressing yourselves as Raggedy Ann and Andy.
