Christmas costumes for boys

With the approach of the New Year holidays, we are in joyful bustle. We wonder what gifts to please relatives and friends, how to decorate the house, what treats to prepare for the festive table, how to decorate the house. Departments of shops dazzle with multi-colored garlands, shimmer with bright lights. On the streets and in institutions, especially in children, set up Christmas trees and hang decorations.

All this children can not fail to notice, and each child asks parents a question: "Who will I be at the holiday?". In addition, older children know that Grandfather Frost and Snow Maiden will most likely hold a competition for the best New Year's costume. And they want to have the very best to get a prize from Santa Claus.

This means that when choosing a New Year's costume, one should listen to the child’s opinion and take into account his wishes - the image imposed on him is unlikely to cause positive emotions. So parents should immerse themselves in the world of fairy-tale characters and show imagination.

Shops offer a wide selection of finished products. But you can make yourself a decent outfit from scrap materials. And if your child will be directly involved in this, then a great mood is guaranteed - after all, he will have an original and unique costume at the festival. Bought in the store will be great, but then it may turn out that someone else in a similar or even the same way flaunts.

Patterns can easily be found on the Internet or in the store.

Whether you are going to buy or make a costume yourself, first of all pay attention to the materials from which the costume is made. Do not use synthetic fabrics - they can cause an allergic reaction on the delicate skin of the baby. Therefore, give preference to natural - cotton, knitwear, wool. They are hygroscopic, keep warm well.

Also the suit should fit in size. Too long sleeves and trousers, or, conversely, tight clothing will impede movement, create inconvenience, and in conditions of holiday discomfort for the child will not work.

And, of course, the costume should be original and bright.

Even the youngest children feel that the new Year is a special holiday. Decorated Christmas tree, visit of Santa Claus, dressing in unusual clothes - all contribute to raising the emotional background. The child will be pleased with the costume of any animal known to him. Give him pleasure and embodiment in the image of his favorite toys. A funny giraffe, baby elephant, frog, fabulous gnome - everything will be appropriate.

But we must remember that the main thing - clothes for the little ones should be very comfortable, simple cut. Best of all, if the costume is made in the form of pajamas or overalls. It should not be coarse seams, dense applications, large hard fasteners. It is great if a mother or grandmother can knit and make a beautiful soft suit of colored threads.

Young children love cartoons, and to visit the image of the well-known Winnie the Pooh, the Wolf from “Well, wait a minute!” Or the brave Troubadour from “The Bremen Town Musicians” is not an ordinary event for a child. The recognizable image of Pinocchio or Kota in boots will also appeal to a little boy.

In preschool institutions, children often take part in thematic matinees, and typical images are hares, cubs, cubs, snowmen. Making these costumes is not so difficult.

Similarly, you can go to the costume and the fox - take a bright orange clothes, tights. An elongated fox fox can be sewn from an orange fabric and filled with cotton wool, a mustache drawn and a large round button - the nose can be sewn. If the making of the face causes you difficulties, then you can buy a ready-made carnival mask - they are in abundance offered by large stores and small outlets.

A luxurious foxtail can be made from the collar of an old coat. No old coat? No problem. Make a tail of bright Christmas serpentine - it will be original and in a New Year's holiday.

For an image of a snowman, a voluminous white robe or a white voluminous shirt or sweater and pants will do. The image of a nose-carrot and a bucket as a headdress will complete. They can easily be made from colored cardboard.

Little boys love to be fabulous merry gnomes at a New Year's matinee. For a festive costume, you can take a bright shirt and vest. A wide belt with a large buckle is obligatory for decoration. Shoes should also be decorated with large buckles. Pants fit any. They can be decorated with ribbons. Striped knee socks will not be superfluous.

The costume of the gnome is unthinkable without a cap. It can be sewn from any thick fabric. Make a beard for the gnome from fringe or cotton wool.

Older boys tend to be more demanding on their New Year's costume. Dresses funny animals or gnomes will look ridiculous on them. Images of heroes of popular books, movies, comics are appropriate for them.

Books by JK Rowling made a splash in the world of children's literature and made Harry Potter the idol of many boys. And to be embodied in the image of a beloved hero - akin to the fulfillment of a dream.

The main details of the costume are the mantle, hat and glasses in a round frame.

Robe is easy to sew from a piece of black matter. It can be decorated with red lining. It is advisable to put the emblem of Gryffindorf on the mantle - the department of the school where Harry Potter studies. Make it yourself or print it found on the Internet and stick it on a denser base. Pants and a shirt under the mantle can wear any.

It is also not difficult to make the hat yourself from a sheet of drawing paper and to color it. Instructions are easily accessible. Or buy a kit for children's creativity "Do it yourself."

Many children fell in love with the brave and charming heroes of the animated series and the Ninja Turtle comics. Delighted with the exploits of these characters, the boys demand just such costumes from their parents.

The main detail in the suit is the shell. One of the ideas is to use an aluminum baking mold for its manufacture. They are sold in any supermarket or market. It is decorated with colored paper, felt-tip pens, multi-colored adhesive tape. Come up with a pattern will help you fantasy.Then cut through the corners of the slot and insert the tape, with which the improvised shell will be attached to the body of the child.

Making another type of armor is more laborious, but it will also look more presentable. From thick cardboard, you need to cut an oval and sew a cover to it. Then fill the cover with any filler and sew colored straps. Decorate the shell with appliqués of colored shreds or paper.

Mask for turtles can also be made at home.

A bright outfit of a fantastic character will help create the necessary atmosphere. For an older boy, this suit can even cause a negative reaction - after all, he wants to be an adult and strong.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the character and temperament of the boy. Quiet and shy, you should not dress up in a pirate or ninja combat suit, but the vestments of the magician, an astrologer, Harry Potter will be a great fit. For the lively tomboy, these images are inharmonious, and the preferred options are knights, musketeers, clowns and imps.

But do not overlook the psychological aspect.

For a boy, it may be important not so much the outfit itself, as his desire to conform to the character being represented, to identify himself with the chosen character, that is, to be bold, dexterous and strong, relaxed or wise, to possess magical abilities.

This means that before going to the store or preparing materials for making a suit, it is important to know the child’s preferences.

To create a full-fledged image, its completeness is important. Completion create the details.

The image of a musketeer is incomplete if he does not have a sword. It is easy to make it from a thick wire or buy it. Even such a seemingly trifle as the absence of a feather on a hat can make an image unfinished. Harry Potter is unthinkable without glasses with round glasses, a pirate - without pistols, and a magician - without a magic wand.

It is rather simple to make these elements of the dress yourself from scrap materials or to find the child among the toys. However, they will help to create a complete recognizable image. Read a book about your child’s favorite character or watch a movie - this will definitely prove useful when creating a full-fledged image.
