Pretend Play Reviews

Va-va-voom! Transform yourself into a sexy temptress with this long, black, slinky robe. Made of lightweight nylon, the costume is perfect for anyone who wants to look like a mysterious troublemaker. It features full sleeves, a split neckline, a hood, and a tie in back, and it's machine washable. Trick or treat, indeed. --Melissa Wilson

The classic witch costume is always a popular pick, and it's easy to see why. When wannabe witches slip into this one-piece black dress with the zigzag edges and an elastic neckline, they'll start to feel a bit wicked. With the purple accents throughout and the pointed black hat, they'll be ready to brew up a caldron of fun on Halloween night. The whole ensemble is machine washable, so it's no toil and trouble to keep clean (and use again next year). Not intended as sleepwear. One size fits most children between the ages of 6 and 10. --Melissa Wilson

Wise old Yoda could teach all the young trick-or-treaters a thing or two. His costume comes with a long robe in neutral brown plaid with a sash. Yoda's mask is also included, with a realistic representation of his pale green skin, winning smile, and those lovable leprechaun-like ears. --Marcie Bovetz
