Baby Halloween Costumes – Tom Arna Is A Popular Choice For Infant Costumes
When I look back through old photographs of when I was a child, I can’t help but reminisce about some of the creative child and baby Halloween costumes my mother made for us. From gypsies to genies, my mother had the Martha Stewart knack for making colorful costumes out of old clothing, or bought fabrics. I don’t remember a single time when my mother didn’t make us a costume. My, how times have changed. Aside from the fact I don’t even own a sewing machine, I don’t think I could ever live up to the costume making abilities of my mother. Therefore, I decided to forgo the Martha Stewart route (much to my mother’s dismay) and opted instead for the “shop online” method, which frankly, is much easier. That is when I stumbled across the Tom Arna baby Halloween costumes.
Tom Arna’s connection with baby Halloween costumes began in late 1960’s. He is perhaps one of the most published baby photographers in the world. As a teen, he worked for the New York Daily News covering many diverse stories. Eventually, he made the shift from newspaper reporting to focus on magazine advertising. As a result, in 1972 he began his work with babies, which led him to where he is today; a man known not only known for his photographs, but infant costumes, too.
Tom Arna’s baby Halloween costumes are a result of his devotion to ecological concerns. He created a series of posters and greeting cards featuring children dressed in animal outfits, which made him a big success internationally. People loved the pictures of the children dressed in costume so much that there became a public demand for them. Now, by doing a simple online search, you can find virtually any Tom Arna costume for your baby’s first Halloween outing.
Arna’s baby Halloween costumes are not inexpensive. If you manage to find a used costume, or some great sale prices, then I would recommend you purchase them at that time, regardless of the season. Most of the Tom Arna costumes are approximately $110.00 if you purchase them at full price. There are costumes for $36.00, but they are often the first to go out of stock, and are the more common animal figures (ex. a cow).
Examples of what you will find in the Tom Arna baby Halloween costumes include: a monkey, an elephant, an alley cat, a butterfly, a lady bug, a mouse, a skunk, a flower, a turtle, a crocodile, and a lamb. Out of interest the most popular of all is the Tom Arma rabbit costume, it is the most searched Arma costume at online stores - and that is purely because it is so absolutely adorable! All the costumes are designed to keep your baby’s head covered and their little bodies warm on those cold October nights (depending on where you live).
Everyone gets excited for a baby’s “first” anything, so why should their first Halloween be any different? Finding the perfect baby Halloween costume is not difficult. Explaining to your mother that you paid $100.00 for a costume - now that’s another story.
