The Best Boys Dress Up Costumes

The Best Boys Dress Up Costumes

Dress-ups aren't just for girls! Playing dress up is one the best ways for imaginative, interact play for children. Dressing up in costumes for boys is a great way for boys to develop masculine personality traits and discover the personalities. Besides that, it's just plain old fun!

What little boy doesn't want to play firefighter? A firefighter coat and hat is one the most essential dress up items for boys. To make a more complete dress up kit, sew a simple tube for a hose. Or, use a scrap garden hose instead!

Your little firefighter will have fun running around putting out fires. In the summertime, this is a particularly fun way to play pretend. Let your little boy use a real hose with water instead. If he has outside cars and houses, he can wander around performing rescue missions!

Arrrr, matey! A pirate costume is an easy one to put together. Simple jagged pants, an eye patch, and a pirate cape is all you need to make this costume a hit. There are an assortment of weapons pirates like to use, like toy guns, hooks, and swords. Your little pirate will have fun making his toys walk the plank as he plays captain in his pirate cape.

A fun game for pirates to play is "sunken ship." The ground in this game is poisonous water or some sort of treacherous ground, and the pirates can't touch it! Let them use old bits of carpet or rags to get from place to place. (The fabric is floating wood).

Treasure chests, treasure maps, and parrots are all great companions to the pirate cape as accessories for a pirate costume. Put some items together and let your little one set sail!

A prince in King Arthur's court? A Medieval jousting knight? A prince rescuing a princess? Knight costumes for boys provide a variety of playtime options for boys. Assembling a knight costume for boys is simple-most costumes come with an armor, a sword, shield, and helmet.

The basics of this costume, like the sword and the shield, are what really make the costume. Let your girls dress up in the princess costume and run with boys in the knight costumes. Pull out the toy horses and flags, the possibilities are endless!

Is it a bird? A plane? No wait, it's Superman! A superhero cape is the simplest dress up costume for boys and is one of the most universal. Many capes are coming in reversible patterns, allowing for kids to have more costumes for one piece.

Superhero capes include Superman, Batman, Robin, and Thor. Generic superhero capes, often an off-shoot of a superman cape, are often used. This way your little boy can pretend to be any type of superhero he can conjure up!

Firefighters aren't the only dress-ups that encourage vocational options. Police officers are another hometown-hero option! Plus, a police officer costume allows for the classic boys game "cops and robbers." A hat is a great additional piece for a police costume, as is a flashlight! The flashlight will allow the boys to feel like they are really solving crime and figuring things out.

Boys dress-up costumes will allow for hours of creative play. Other favorite options are a Chef's costumes (a simple white coat and hat), a cowboy costume (chaps, gun, and bandanna), and a doctor (white coat and stethoscope). Remember, playing dress up is all about the imagination! So add random odds and ends into your dress up box, like old wallets, glasses, ties, and belts-and let your little boy create memories and fun!
