[For Preschool Teachers] Recommended Halloween Costumes [Part 2]
These days, more and more nursery schools and kindergartens seem to be enjoying Halloween events.
I imagine many teachers are preparing various things for the big day.
Among those preparations, costumes are a key part of making the event exciting.
Some schools have the children dress up while the teachers wear their usual clothes, but teachers are also an important part of the environment surrounding the children.
So please join the children in dressing up, enjoy the event together, and make Halloween day a wonderful memory!
For Preschool Teachers: Recommended Halloween Costumes, Vol. 2 (1–10)
Ana

Among the characters, the heroine Anna is especially adorable with her signature double braids, making her a perfect choice for Halloween costumes! Another great point is that Anna’s costume has no horror elements at all, so there’s no worry about scaring preschoolers.
Plus, compared to bulky full-head costumes, it’s easier to move in, reducing the risk of kids tripping and letting them play safely.
With so many benefits, why not try incorporating an Anna costume into this year’s Halloween?
Jesse
https://www.instagram.com/p/B4HnXJuAFBb/Jessie, who appears in Disney’s Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3, is known for her signature ponytail.
A great thing about a Jessie costume with red hair is that you can repurpose a wig from other red-haired characters you’ve dressed up as—like Ariel from The Little Mermaid—if you have one left over.
The red straw hat can likely be substituted with a red hat you already use in the park.
It could be fun to recreate the Toy Story world by pairing the costume with a child dressed as Woody or another character.
Superman
https://www.instagram.com/p/BpGWuMPBjJH/Superman is a hero who first appeared in American comics in 1938, and his superhuman strength and ability to fly have made him popular across generations, especially among young boys.
How about incorporating Superman into your Halloween costume? Just wear blue clothes top and bottom and attach a red cape from a dollar store to your back, and your Superman costume will be ready in no time.
The minimal prep is a big plus for busy childcare workers and parents.
As a finishing touch, adding a gold or yellow belt around the waist will make it look even more authentic!
Pokemon
https://www.instagram.com/p/BML-_FUBeh6/“Pocket Monsters,” commonly known as Pokémon, has become so famous through anime, video games, and the trading card game that it needs no introduction, loved across generations.
How about enjoying Halloween by dressing up as Pokémon? For preschool teachers, the original Red, Green, and Blue-era Pokémon might be easier to picture, but for the kids, characters from Sword and Shield, released in 2019, will probably resonate more.
It could be fun to ask the children which Pokémon they want to be and prepare while enjoying the generation gap—like, “This is the first time I’ve heard of that Pokémon! What kind is it?” (laughs).
cat
https://www.instagram.com/p/CGmu9unBRK8/Cats are loved by both boys and girls and are used for all kinds of costumes, not just for Halloween.
You can buy cat ear accessories at a 100-yen shop and just pop them on your head to complete the look, so it’s no exaggeration to say it’s one of the easiest Halloween costumes.
However, some teachers might feel that just wearing cat ears isn’t quite enough.
In that case, try pairing black cat ears with black clothing for a black-cat vibe, and add lipstick to create the impression of slightly extended corners of the mouth—then it instantly transforms into a Halloween-style cat cosplay!
101 Dalmatians
https://www.tiktok.com/@official.onefive/video/7159902860551933186The 1961 Disney film One Hundred and One Dalmatians is a story of courage and adventure starring Dalmatian dogs.
Get a cute black-and-white Dalmatian costume ready and enjoy Halloween! Customize white clothing with black spots, add a red collar and some ears, and you’re all set.
Even if you don’t reach 101, wearing the same costume with a big group will make for an unforgettable Halloween.
Dressing up as Dalmatians together with the kids is sure to be a hit, too.
Give it a try for inspiration!
Chibi Maruko-chan
https://www.tiktok.com/@oto_chan_/video/7024798538945137922Chibi Maruko-chan is an anime that gently depicts the everyday life of the main character, Maruko.
Maruko is cheerful, bright, and optimistic, with a bit of a lazy streak now and then, and her relatable personality has made her a beloved character among people of all ages for many years.
How about incorporating Maruko’s outfit into your Halloween costume? Wear her trademark red skirt and yellow hat, and make your entrance to the anime’s theme song, Odoru Pompokolin—it’s sure to get everyone excited! Give it a try for inspiration.
