sensory-friendly halloween for kids who hate costumes
15
items for the kid who melts down at itchy costumes, masks, and a doorbell that won't stop ringing. soft adaptive costumes from target's line (no tags, flat seams, easy openings), costumes that are secretly just pajamas, ear protection for trick or treating...
a costume that's basically a soft one-piece with a hood, so there's no mask, no face paint, and nothing poking. it's from target's adaptive line, which is built for kids who need dressing to be easier. a shark is also very forgiving if the hood comes...
Kids' Shark Adaptive Halloween Costume Jumpsuit - Hyde and EEK! Boutique™ Gray
same soft one-piece idea in a fuzzy plush texture, for the kid who wants to be something sparkly but can't handle tulle, wings or a headband. the horn is built into the hood so there's nothing extra to keep on
Kids' Unicorn Adaptive Halloween Costume Jumpsuit - Hyde and EEK! Boutique™ Purple
the sneaky option. it's a regular fleece hoodie and joggers set with a skeleton print, so a kid who refuses anything that feels like a costume is really just wearing their comfy clothes. the two-way zipper is part of the adaptive design, and they'll ...
Kids' Adaptive Skeleton Fleece 2-Way Zipper Hoodie and Jogger Pants Set - Cat & Jack™
for the littles. a soft spotted one-piece with floppy ears on the hood, and that's the whole costume. no makeup, nothing on their face, and if they pull the hood down at the first house they're still clearly a puppy (:
Toddler Adaptive Dalmatian Costume Jumpsuit - Hyde and EEK! Boutique™
for the kid who loves the big dress-up moment but needs the getting-dressed part to be easier. it's from target's adaptive line and the back has an opening built in. honest heads up, there's tulle on the skirt and it lights up, so this is a pick for ...
Kids' Adaptive Light-Up Starlight Witch Halloween Costume Dress - Hyde and EEK! Boutique™ Purple
the costume that's literally just pajamas. glow in the dark skeleton print on plain cotton, so they can trick or treat in something their body already knows and go straight to bed in it after. it's a snug fit (that's the safety standard for kids' cot...
The Children's Place Kids Halloween Glow In The Dark Long Sleeve Skeleton Snug Fit Cotton Pajamas
halloween is loud in ways nobody warns you about. doorbells all night, screaming animatronics on porches, a street full of excited kids. ear muffs go on before you leave the house, not after the meltdown starts. these are kid-sized and adjustable, so...
PROHEAR 032 Kids Ear Protection Earmuffs - Pink
for the landing after trick or treating, when the sugar and noise wear off all at once and the crash hits. a weighted pumpkin to hold on the couch gives some deep pressure without a full weighted blanket, and it's cute enough to stay out as decor all...
Jack O'Lantern Halloween Weighted Plush Kids' Throw Pillow - Pillowfort™
a teal pumpkin is the quiet signal for non-food treats, which matters for kids with allergies and also for picky, texture-sensitive eaters who won't touch half the candy anyway. carry one so neighbors know, or put one on your own porch so other famil...
Halloween Trick or Treat Pail Teal - Hyde and EEK! Boutique™
non-food treats that kids actually get excited about. halloween spinner balls, twelve in a pack, so you can hand them out at the door or tuck one in your own kid's pocket as a fidget for the walk. a lot better than a bowl of candy your sensory eater ...
12ct Spinner Fidget Balls Party Favor - Hyde and EEK! Boutique™: Halloween
tiny pumpkin, ghost, witch and frankenstein squishies for the teal pumpkin bowl. squeezing something is honestly a decent regulation tool on a big night, so these work as a treat and a pocket fidget at the same time. small pieces though, so not for k...
12ct Squishies Party Favor - Hyde and EEK! Boutique™: Halloween
two jobs here. a glow bracelet on a kid who bolts makes them a lot easier to spot on a dark street, and for the kid who refuses any costume at all, a few glowing necklaces can be the whole outfit. a hundred in a pack, so there's plenty to hand out as...
Joyfy 100pc Glow Stick Bracelets and Necklaces
a gentle, not-scary preview for the littlest ones. reading about costumes and pumpkins a few nights before helps a kid who does better when they know what's coming, kind of like a mini social story. bright and sweet, zero spooky
Halloween, Baby! - by Karen Katz (Board Book)
halloween decor for a house that can't do jump scares, screaming animatronics or scented candles. a battery glass pumpkin with a warm glow, no flame, no smell, and a timer so it turns itself off. it's the kind of decor that makes the season feel cozy...
TOCCOLEGGERO Crackle Glass LED Pumpkin Light with Timer
pop-it keychains in pumpkin, witch hat, bat and other halloween shapes. clip one on the treat bucket so there's something to press while waiting in line at a busy house, and hand the rest out at your door. twenty-four in a pack makes it an easy non-f...
