BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) — Recently, Raleigh County Parks and Recreation announced the opening of the Costume Vault for the 2022 year.
Halloween is a fun holiday for kids and is so nostalgic for kids and adults alike. Children should always have the opportunity to dress up in a costume. Children love to play and learn through playing and when added with dressing up it engages imaginative play, which helps in their development.
When children dress up as their favorite alias such as their favorite superhero, princess, favorite character or what they want to be when they grow up it helps to develop creative thinking and communication skills. Children should have this opportunity to dress up for Halloween!
Any child may come to choose a free costume from the Costume Vault. All costumes are new or gently used, same with accessories. There are costumes of all sizes and from many genres to choose from.
The Costume Vault will be opened every Monday through Wednesday up until Halloween, however, each week will be in a different location.
