All kids love costume parties because they are fun. Often, gifts are distributed after such events. Also, children get the opportunity to express themselves through their outfit. Especially if it's a New Year's cat in boots costume for a boy.

Why the outfit is so popular

Interesting fact: a cat costume for a boy is one of the five favorite children's looks. Here's why:

The outfit has a large selection of options. Leopold, Puss in Boots, Woof the Kitten, the cat from The Bremen Town Musicians, the Cheshire Cat, etc. All these characters differ in character, but they also have one feature that unites them. After all, they are all cats

The costume is the personification of a graceful, intelligent and dexterous animal. The cat is the constant hero of a large number of Russian folk tales. He is a purr, a mouser, and a protector. Therefore, the representatives of the cat family are liked by boys and girls

The carnival look includes a tail and kids love to pretend they are cute animals

Featureschoosing a New Year's costume for different ages

First of all, regardless of the age of the child, any cat costume for a boy must be made of quality material.

It is also not recommended to purchase fur products, as children move a lot during the holiday. In such clothes, the child will be hot.

Secondly, the younger the boy, the simpler his New Year's costume should be. For example, for a baby under one year old, it is worth buying a one-piece jumpsuit, for a child under 3 years old - a suit consisting of 2-3 elements (vest, shorts, cap).

You can buy a cat costume for a boy over 3 years old, as close as possible to the clothing of the prototype. In addition, children during this period pay increased attention to detail. Therefore, you should not forget about the obligatory attribute of such a cat, that is, about the sword.

How to choose a nice suit

So, how to choose the right New Year's cat costume for a boy. It is worth paying attention to the following factors:

• to find out the opinion of the baby about his New Year's outfit;
• tell a child what an adult wants to buy for him;
• go to the store with the boy to try on a suit and immediately get his opinion.

In the event that the desired image could not be found in the store, you can choose the model you like on the Internet with your child. However, such a purchase should be made in advance, because if the cat costume for the boy does not fit, he will have nothing to go to the holiday.

• Satin blue (to make a hat and lapels).
• Ribbon (braid) golden or yellow. L - the length of the piece of satin2 + the width of the piece of satin.

• sew blanks for boots, stitch to the base of the Czechs, insert elastic bands on top;
• in the middle of the white cuff, sew a white braid(cuffs will be worn over the boy's shirt);
• make a hat out of whatman paper, glue it with blue satin;
• fold one edge of the hat, fasten it, glue the feather;
• from the remaining blue satin, make two blanks, stitch them to the boots as lapels;
