Hurry! Halloween is coming and we’re Giving Away the Most INSPIRING costumes…
We’re having a HUGE costume giveaway… but it is going to have a quick entry deadline — we’ll be announcing the winners on Wednesday, October 8th — so read on and link up quickly.
This Halloween let your child’s costume inspire instead of scare.
Playing dress up is a wonderful year round game for kids, but on Halloween the game is elevated to a most exciting status.
It’s no wonder kids go crazy for Halloween. All rules go out the door.
Grown ups get involved. Children pick out new costumes. Instead of bath-time, book-time and bed-time, children are escorted into the dark of night to collect candy from strangers!!!
As a child I loved Halloween as much as the next kid, but as I grew older the holiday grew less appealing. The celebration’s evil beginnings and the ever-growing dangers from unsupervised teenagers frustrated me.
Now as a mother of a 3 year old I try to forget about any evil and just focus on the fun.
One way we as parents can help to keep Halloween as good, clean fun is to encourage our children to dress up in inspiring, unique costumes.
Instead of dracula, a witch or yet another spiderman, this year let your child turn into an Astronaut, a Fire Fighter, a Race Car Driver or another REAL-LIFE Super Hero!!!
And instead of their Halloween costumes being worn once and tossed in the back of the closet, your children can continue to dress up and play pretend all year round.
These dress-up costumes are also perfect Christmas presents!
We’ve been offering these fantastic costumes in our Pedal Cars and Retro Collectibles store for the last three years and have had awesome feedback. Customers love the quality and realistic look. And during the last year we have only had a handful of returned items because customers ordered the wrong size. So, when we were reviewing our inventory, we decided we’d GIVE these costumes to you our loyal readers. They are all in perfect, brand new condition, but just the packages have been opened once.
How To Win
Here’s how this special giveaway will work. We’ll show below the costumes and sizes we have available as prizes. (ALL costumes and sizes are ALSO available for purchase at our store.)

My little guy has recently become obsessed with Fire fighters! A firefighter in a size 3 would be an excellent addition to out “tickle trunk!”
Jr. Firefighter is cute
I’ve got two boys. The oldest is fascinated with space, so the Junior Astronaut Space Suit in Size 6-8 would be perfect for him. I’ve also got a little guy who would look so cute in the Junior Fire Fighter Suit with Helmet size 2-3. Thank you so much for the great contest!
What a great giveaway. Here is my entry. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Angelheart/601239/ Thank for holding this contest.j

I’ve posted my blog. My top pick is the astronaut costume (sz. 6-8). My daughter loves the idea of becoming an astronaut when she gets older. I remember having the same aspiration when I was her age.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the contest!
THANK YOU GOD BLESS
My almost 3 yr old is obsessed with astronaughts right now. If I won this costume (even thought it would be too big) it would be a great addition to my plans for his birthday – a space shuttle toy, a rocket cake, and a trip to a nearby space museum!
I’d like to win the Junior Doctor uniform for my daughter. It’s so cute!
The little fire fighter’s outfit is adorable!!! Ok, they’re all adorable, but my son would love the fire fighter one.
I’d love to win the astronaut suit! Both of my kids would get such a kick out of it!

I’d love to win the Jr Air Force Pilot Suit & Helmet size 12 for my son! Thanks
I’ve posted and would love to win the cowgirl size 8 and the racing jr size 12.
Please enter me into the contest for the Junior Cowgirl Dress Up Outfit in size 10. Thanks!
Well my picks would have to be cowgirl, doctor & then police officer.
The fireman costume is very cute…..although all of them are different and very nice picks.
We had a very big fire in our town two months ago and my little guy got to talk with the fireman………a size 5 in the fireman would be our pick.
I like
Junior Astronaut Space Suit – size 6-8
Thanks!
My grandsons always talk about how they want to go to Space Camp when they see the pictures of their mom there. She was able to attend while we were stationed in Huntsville, Ala. So I am chosing the spacesuit 8-10 as my top choice.
Since we live in Nascar Country, N.C. – my grandsons love racing. They have never been to a Nascar race, although I am sure it won’t be too much longer, so I pick the race uniform 8-10 as #2.
And as #3, I pick the doctor uniform 8-10, because their mom was working so hard to become a doctor before she got pregnant with our granddaughter and things were put on hold.
Thanks you so much for all your kindness in putting together these contests and gifts to give away. You really go above and beyond to provide your readers a great experience.
I may not have a blog to promote your site, but I still promote you everywhere I can.
Thanks again.
