Ninja turtle costume
It’s not difficult to buy a mask and weapons in a store, all that’s left is to make the shell. I made a shell for my son to play with, he really likes ninja turtles. The back shell is a brown chair cushion. The front one is made of felt stuffed with cotton wool. First I cut out two rounded rectangles. To make cubes, I made a line lengthwise in the middle of one rectangle and applied two transverse ones with hot glue and attached the second rectangle. We got empty squares, covered them with cotton wool, then glued the side seams.
Two elastic bands go on the shoulders, the other two on the waist.
Therefore, since there is no escape and this holiday is persistently advertised to us, then our task, in addition to monitoring the safety of the children, is not to suppress the natural disgust and fear of the sight of maniacs and their victims.
These were my tips. What did you find suitable? Share! I will be glad to see your photos.

Some parents don't want to tell their children about Halloween. For most Russians it is too exotic. But telling is not the same as celebrating. Children's curiosity will sooner or later take over, and the child will learn about the holiday from others. And it’s not a fact that the story he heard will be true. It’s better to tell adults about Halloween, supplementing the story with a reasoned opinion about whether it’s worth celebrating or not.
