This is when TPP volunteers pull out all of their creativity and create colorful costumes for Iowa NICU babies. \nHalloween in the NICU used to mean Pumpkin hats and booties. Pumpkin hats and booties are still wonderful!! In the past couple of years\, we have expanded this to include costume hats\, booties\, cocoons\, diaper cover\, costume bibs\, and other NICU sized cute dress-up items. Ideas for “costumes” includes Disney themed\, Animals\, Witches and Ghosts\, Frankenstein Hats\, etc. This is one donation where our volunteers can be as creative as they want. Last year we had butterflies\, dragons\, superhero capes\, witch capes\, mermaid tails\, Very Hungry Caterpillar\, Mickey\, Minnie……The sky is the limit. \nItems may be sewn\, knit or crocheted. \nIf you have an idea for a costume and need help figuring how to size it for the little ones\, please Contact Us and ask for help. \nNOTE: This is the one donation of the year that we request booties for all the hats. If you do not make booties for any other donation\, please consider making them for this one. They complete the costume. \nPatterns and Guidelines:\nClick here for holiday pattern ideas we have collected on our Ravelry Page.
