Fastelavn is something truly special. It's the day when imagination runs wild, where children can be exactly what they dream of, and when laughter, costumes, and pastries fill homes and schools. At Lirum Larum Leg, we're ready to kick off the Fastelavn party, and we've stocked our shelves with delightful costumes, accessories, and decorations for both young and old.
In 2026, Fastelavn falls on Sunday, February 15th, and even though Christmas was just here and it might seem far off, we know from experience that the best costumes quickly become favorites and sell out. So it's a good idea to explore our Fastelavn selection now and find the costume that will make your child shine.
Fastelavn Costumes for Everyone – Find Your Child’s Favorite
Fastelavn is all about play and imagination, and in our selection of costumes, you'll find something for every taste. We have everything from cute animal costumes to classic princess dresses, cool superheroes, and many other enchanting characters that children love to immerse themselves in.
Animal costumes are always a hit, especially for the little ones. A soft suit with ears and a tail provides warmth, comfort, and plenty of freedom to move, so your child can play all day. On the other hand, princess costumes are often the favorites for children who love glitter, tulle, and magical details, while superhero and police costumes offer courage, strength, and confidence – even if just for a day.
Costumes for Toddlers – Ages 1, 2, and 3
When it comes to costumes for toddlers, comfort is just as important as appearance. For a 1-year-old, we recommend soft suits or simple dinosaur and animal costumes that are easy to put on and take off – especially when changing diapers. Costumes with fewer layers and good freedom of movement are ideal.
For children aged 2 and 3, kids start having their own preferences. Here, light capes, simple dresses, small masks, or outfits with recognizable characters are great choices. Our selection offers costumes that are perfect for play – not just for the Fastelavn celebration but for role-playing time and again.
Face Paint – The Final Touch for the Fastelavn Outfit
No Fastelavn costume is truly complete without a little magic on the face. With beautiful face paint, you can easily enhance the costume and make it even more vibrant – something kids of all ages love. A little butterfly, a cute tiger, a superhero mask, or rosy cheeks can transform even the simplest costume into something truly special.
At Lirum Larum Leg, you'll find face paint designed for children's sensitive skin and easy to apply – even if you're not experienced. It doesn't need to be perfect or advanced; often it's the small details that make all the difference and make children feel extra dressed up.
After a festive Fastelavn day with face paint, it's nice to have a gentle, friendly way to remove it. Olivy Skin Care Oil is ideal for gently removing face paint without irritating children's sensitive skin. The oil dissolves the paint effectively so that it can be easily massaged off with hands or a soft washcloth, leaving the skin soft and cared for – an invaluable little help to smoothly conclude the day’s Fastelavn adventure.
Costume Accessories – When Less is More
Some children love a grand costume display, while others are happier with just a small, manageable detail. Here, costume accessories are perfect. A mask, a headband with ears, a hat, a sword, or a magic wand can be enough to create a festive atmosphere – especially if your child isn't quite ready for a full costume.
Costume accessories are also ideal for schools and institutions where costumes should be easy and practical. They can be reused year after year and mixed and matched with what your child already has at home.
Hosting a Fastelavn Party? We've Got You Covered
If you're hosting a Fastelavn party at home, in an institution, or at school, we've got you covered. At Lirum Larum Leg, you’ll find Fastelavn barrels, Piñatas, crowns, and decorations to set the perfect scene.
If you've decided to go all in and bake yourself, we also have a great recipe for Fastelavn buns right here.
Fastelavn isn't just about hitting the barrel; it's about togetherness, laughter, and anticipation. With the right decorations and small details, the celebration will be even more memorable – both for children and adults.
Fastelavn – Creating Memories
I vividly remember Fastelavn at our house when the kids were little. The costumes were prepared well in advance, barrel striking was rehearsed in the living room, and face paint rarely looked as I imagined – but the laughter, pride, and joy were worth it, and I like to believe my children remember the Fastelavn celebrations as something wonderful and special.
Fastelavn doesn't have to be perfect. The most important thing is to include play, imagination, and togetherness. At Lirum Larum Leg, we hope to inspire you to create a Fastelavn celebration for the children that they will remember as warm, fun, and safe – filled with costumes, laughter, and joyful moments, together with other children and adults.
