All children love costume parties because they have fun. Often after such events gifts are given. Also, children get the opportunity to express themselves through their outfit. Especially if it's a New Year's suit of a cat in boots for a boy.
Why is the outfit so popular
Interesting fact: a cat costume for a boy is one of the five favorite children's images. That's why:
- The outfit has a large selection of options. Leopold, Puss in Boots, A kitten named Gav, a cat from the Bremen Town Musicians, Cheshire Cat , etc. All these characters vary in character, but they also have one thing in common. After all, they are all cats.
- The costume is the personification of a graceful, smart and dexterous animal. The cat is the unchanging hero of a large number of Russian folk tales. He is a purr, and a mousetrap, and a protector. Therefore, representatives of the cat family like boys and girls.
- The carnival image includes a tail, and children like to imagine themselves as cute animals.
Features of choosing a New Year's costume for different ages
First of all, regardless of the age of the child, any cat costume for a boy should be made of quality material.
It is also not recommended to purchase fur products, since during the holiday the children move a lot. In such clothes the child will be hot.
Secondly, the smaller the boy’s age, the easier it should be for his New Year’s costume. For example, for a baby up to a year, it is worth purchasing a continuous jumpsuit, for a child under 3 years old - a suit consisting of 2-3 elements (vest, shorts, hat).
You can buy a cat costume for a boy older than 3 years old, which is most appropriate for the clothes of the prototype. In addition, children during this period pay increased attention to detail. Therefore, the mandatory attribute of such a cat, that is, the sword, should not be forgotten.
