Ariel and Sebastian Costume

Dressing up as classic Disney characters is always a great idea. This is why if you loved The Little Mermaid as a child, you should consider dressing as Ariel and Sebastian with your baby boy.

Simply choose a seashell top and a sparkly skirt or a costume tail, and opt for a super cute crab outfit for your baby boy. You don’t have to make things too complicated, a pair of red pants, a red hoodie, a crab hat and a pair of red shoes or socks would be more than fine!

Personally, I dressed my daughter up as Ariel at 5 months old. Then, I went as flounder (I just wore a fleece hat a made to look like a fish) and my husband wore a shark fin that we got in the dollar section at target. Simple and fun for sure 🙂

When it comes to your little one, add on him a black onesie/t-shirt (depending on his age), a pair of red shorts, a hat with Mickey Mouse ears (or ear headband), and yellow socks.
