Back to School with AnniesCostumes!

Going back to school doesn't have to be all bad - not when you can do book reports in costume and make straight A's! Dressing up as a character that a child is doing a book report on helps them get more involved in the character, the time period, and the clothing that was worn during that period and why.

Here are some ideas:

We have a number of Heroes in History Costume Kits:

President Abraham Lincoln is one of our most popular costume kits:

Summer of Fun Cosplay Dress Up!

Cosplay is all the rage this summer!  ComicCon in San Diego and other comic book conventions throughout the summer have children and adults dressing up as their favorite comic book, sci-fi, and fantasy characters. Then there is a new reality show coming to the SyFy Channel this month called Heroes of Cosplay, where participants compete to dress up in fabulous costumes that allow them to become the characters.

Kids at home this summer can do the same with some fun dress up ideas. It also helps you get ready for Halloween, start getting ideas for Halloween costumes, and also maybe get some additional use out of the costumes so they are not just used for Halloween.

Here are some Cosplay costume dress up ideas for summer:
