One of my favorite memories of Purim as a kid is dressing up for the Purim festivities at school, decked out with accessories, face paint/makeup, and my hair done to perfection with clips and hairspray.

As a parent, however, there’s so much more to consider before sending your little ones off to school for Purim, especially for toddlers and babies.

You want them to be comfortable. Which means a costume that’s not tight, too warm, rough, itchy etc. Their costumes have to last them the whole day in school. Which is why I always go for pajama costumes.

At home, it’s a different story. Dress them in the cutest costume you can find. But for dressing up in school, here are my top pajama costume picks.
