New adaptive Halloween costumes from Target for differently abled kids

Halloween

We're cheering for Target's new adaptive Halloween costume collection!

Target has been pretty ahead of the mass retailer curve in terms of sensory-friendly and adaptive clothing for kids. And I'm so happy to see they're adding new adaptive Halloween costumes this year, made for to help ensure that all kinds of kids get to live out their Halloween fantasies -- without lots of hacking and wrangling on the part of their parents. A sneak peek of the line reveals a plush adaptive unicorn costume (think unicorn onesies, which my youngest is still crazy for), as well as a plush adaptive shark costume -- both perfect for boys and girls, obv. I mean, it's Halloween! Be a boy unicorn!

The latter has particularly nice touches like leg openings wide enough to keep shoes on while slipping in and out of the pants. I mean obviously I'd like to see more options (and fewer gendered options) because like, what kid doesn't want to be a Demagorgon, a brain-eating zombie, or a rock star? But then, I totally understand why they'd stick with more traditionally popular costumes when there's a limited selection.
