Our little guy loves video games, and he especially loves Sonic the Hedgehog! So when we had the opportunity to review a Sonic the Hedgehog costume and share our thoughts with you, he was beyond thrilled!
Let’s talk for a moment about video games in general. We are very particular about the games that we allow him to play, and the amount of time that he’s allowed to play. Video games can be great teaching tools, and when you can add a costume to the educational value, it becomes memorable and relevant to your child. No one said that learning has to be boring! I have a Master’s Degree in education, and trust me…if you make it fun and enjoyable, your kids will retain the knowledge. And that’s kind of the goal, right?
This is kind of interesting: click here to read some of the history of video games. Good video games can teach kids several important concepts. They encourage the development of problem solving skills, how to be self taught and self motivated, how to learn quickly and how to make quick decisions that affect outcome. They also help kids to improve their hand-eye coordination. And there are many, many more skills and concepts that you can employ the use of video games to teach.
Let’s talk for a moment about the costume itself. I believe that costumes give children a sense of wonder and encourage them to draw upon their imagination. Costumes facilitate creative, and let’s face it…dressing up is just plain fun for both girls and boys. This particular costume came from www.anytimecostumes.com; they have a huge selection of costumes for every age, from infants to adults.
This costume includes a blue plush jumpsuit with a yellow stomach patch, long yellow sleeves, a large blue spike in the back, attached red and yellow boot tops, and a full character headpiece with large see-through white and black eyes, blue and yellow ears, and a spiky back. This detailed costume comes with everything your boy needs to look like his favorite video game character except for white gloves, sold separately on their website. Sonic the Hedgehog is the main character in the “Sonic the Hedgehog” video game series, which has been around since 1991. Your Sonic fan and his friends will enjoy this authentically detailed look.
