Top Fairy Tale and Storybook costumes

This month, we’re picking our favorite kids’ costumes from our Storybook & Fairy Tales collection to highlight on the blog. These costumes are guaranteed to cure those winter blues and get you through the time when your kids are playing inside much more than usual. Spring will be here soon, but until then, let your kids get decked out in these costumes that will bring their favorite classic stories to life.

Goldilocks and Beary Adorable Costumes

 Goldilocks and the Three Bears is not only a favorite storybook, but an ideal subject for pretend play. The repetition in the story makes it easy to remember, so your kids don’t necessarily need the book on hand in order to play the game. Dial it up a notch with these fantastic costumes and you’ll be all set!

Child Red Panne Cape

 Why is the Little Red Riding Hood such an enduringly popular character in storybook history? Perhaps it’s because the story is simple enough for even very young children to understand. Perhaps it’s because of the safety lessons embedded in the story. Perhaps it’s because everyone’s telling of the story is just a little bit different - with the ending undergoing the most change from book to book! Whatever the reason, this cape will make it that much more fun to act out the story.

Rag Doll Costumes

 The Raggedy Ann and Andy books aren’t read so often by children these days, but the dolls remain very popular. Nothing could be cuter than these costumes, especially when paired with the dolls themselves for the ultimate in pretend play. Tea parties, trips to the grocery store, and arts and crafts time will all hold a new excitement when wearing these costumes.

Leprechaun Costumes

 There’s just something about leprechauns that children love. They’re fascinated by the idea that a magical creature might leave a pot of gold hiding somewhere, free to whoever can find the end of the rainbow. With St. Patrick’s Day coming up next month, it’s a great time to grab a leprechaun costume or two, and start acting out scavenger hunts at home - even if it’s for pretend or chocolate gold coins, instead of real ones!

Wicked Troll Costume

 Troll costumes come in handy for all kinds of pretend play games, from acting out the Three Billy Goats Gruff to playing out scenes from the recent Trolls movie. This particular troll costume comes complete with a mask, for those who want to be fully disguised during play!
