What are costumes?

Costumes are like fancy clothes that help people look like different characters or creatures for special events or games.

Imagine you're playing dress-up with your toys. You might put a crown on a stuffed lion to make it look like a king, or wear a cape and mask to pretend you're a superhero. That's what costumes are, they help people change how they look so they can be someone else for fun.

Costumes can be anything from a simple hat and shirt to full outfits that make you look like a wizard or a dinosaur. Sometimes, they have special parts like capes, masks, or even fake hair! They're usually worn during parties, plays, or when people are pretending to be someone else.

People wear costumes because it’s fun and exciting. It lets them be creative and imagine themselves in new worlds. Like how you might dress up as a pirate for a party, then you can pretend you're sailing the sea with a map and a sword!
