Cute Accessories for Babies and Toddlers at Halloween

Billy Bob is a long established name in the making of infant pacifiers, but the company's designers have out-done themselves this time.

You'd be doing nothing but looking at dummies, if I included the whole Halloween range here. So I've gone for the newest or most popular.

Your baby could be chewing on anything from a cute boo ghost to a truly ghastly vampire muzzle. Hours of fun from the outside, while the inside is just a pacifier.

The orthodontic nipples are made from silicone. They are designed to bring relief to your infant as they suckle, or need respite from the aching of their own teeth coming through.

(Unless you really have bought one of these for your college age student. In which case, it's just to shut them up.)

But let's be honest about this. They're mostly used to delight on-lookers, and cause many, many photographs to be taken of the cute baby with the unusual pacifier!

Each dummy is very sturdily made. They won't break easily. (Unless you gave it to the college student. Then there will probably be hundreds of highly inventive ways to see it destroyed.)

In Karen Katz's Where is Baby's Pumpkin?, a small girl goes hunting for her pumpkin. If that's gone, then how can she go trick or treating?!

As the infant investigates hiding places all over the house, she finds anything but.

There's a friendly ghost.  There's a witch's hat.  There's the sweetest bats you ever saw; and yay! There's some candy!

Your own little one will be hunting too, as sturdy flaps are lifted to find the pumpkin.  Naturally, it all ends well.

Marcy Kelmen's Baby Einstein: Touch and Feel Halloween is even more tactile, as the name suggests.  The book is filled with colorful elements, which each yield a different texture, as baby fingers them.

Meanwhile My First Halloween Board Book has it all.  There are 36 pages in this DK Publishing special. The beautifully illustrated stories introduce infants to all of the usual personae of the holiday.

In fun ways, it explains all about costumes, candy, and those about to be encountered on the streets, like witches and ghosts. All in ways that can be understood by little ones as young as 12 months old.
