Carnival Season - Helau and Alaaf
The 5th season - costume for children
Why do we actually celebrate Carnival?
To be clear from the start - the actual reason why we celebrate Carnival has not yet been definitively proven. However, there are some theories that say the colorful costumes and masks were meant to drive away winter. Others claim it is an old pagan custom..
Why do we celebrate Carnival? It is a fact that researchers believed Carnival must be an old custom with which people tried to drive away the cold season. This old custom was supposedly adopted by Christians, as Lent begins after Carnival for Christians. The assumption is that people wanted to let loose one last time before Lent. But none of this is proven anywhere. So the question of "why" remains unanswered.
Masks, wigs, horns, confetti, and streamers
Colorful, loud, crazy, and full of life - you either love or hate celebrating Carnival
Some love to celebrate Carnival and dress up, others do not. Many prepare for the 5th season for months: dance groups, marching bands, speakers, and all the creative costume makers, crafters, and many more. Children usually follow their parents here. If their parents live out this colorful tradition, they are overwhelmed by the many bright colors, costumes, and celebrating people. Well, of course, also by the many sweets thrown from the floats during the parade. Whether as firefighter, police officer, superhero, cat, princess, clown, and much more, there are countless ideas for costumes. Whether bought or homemade, there are no limits to variety and ideas for Carnival time.
Carnival costume doctor for children
Whether boy or girl, woman or man - the fascination, respect, and gratitude for the work of doctors around the world is boundless. Many children love to play doctor from a young age, caring for their sick plush toys and dolls. Dressing up as a doctor is also very popular during Carnival.
Often we think too complicated, but the simplest ideas are usually the best. You can make a great costume with very simple things that almost everyone has at home. A white shirt, some red paint for decoration, and a few items needed as a doctor such as a mouth/nose mask and instruments for treating patients.

Thanks to this beautiful howa doctor set, a doctor's visit can be playfully reenacted and it can also be wonderfully used as a children's carnival costume for a doctor. The red/white doctor's bag can be easily carried and taken anywhere thanks to the practical wooden handle. The handles are movable with hinges and held together by a magnet. The howa children's doctor bag includes a reflex hammer, fever thermometer, 2 medicine bottles, a tube, an otoscope, a syringe, scissors, and a stethoscope. These accessories are made of high-quality wood and feel comfortable in the child's hand. A patient card, prescription pad, and adjustable headband complete the play fun.
Some love carnival, while others can't relate to this tradition. It should be said that the 5th season passes quickly, and the main thing is that everyone has fun. If you consider that the many fools and jesters might actually drive away the cold season quickly and bring spring, then the carnival season definitely has something positive for everyone.
In this spirit, we shout Alaaf, Helau, Ahoi, Alä, Hex, Meck or Knolli and whatever the carnival calls may be, and we wish you a wonderful carnival season.
