Providing opportunities for children to have creative play is so wonderful. One thing we have definitely noticed in our daughter is how wild her imagination already is. Sometimes I am baffled by what she comes up with, but I love it that she has no problem using her imagination already. Her dolls and cars are always off on some sort of adventure.
She is just beginning to get into costumes everything from princesses, and fairies, to different animals. My favourite right now is the Ladybug toddler cape from Great Pretenders. The great thing about the cape is that it can fit various sizes of children. so long as the hood, and neck strap fit, your child is good to go. I know this will be getting lots of us as my daughter grows up. She has run around lots wearing it, flapping her arms and pretending to fly. My favourite was when we took her outside to play while wearing the costume. Her imagination ran wild.
The cape is well constructed. It has a black hood with two little antennae on top, then the cape itself is a gorgeous red with giant black spots. To hold it closed is a little strap with velcro that goes under the chin, and across the front of the neck. The velcro is nice and sturdy. The part many moms love… it is machine washable! Yes! So if your child wears it outside while playing and it gets covered in mud, you can put it in the wash.

My favourite the Awesome Cape/Mask Set. I like how they offer it in different colour combinations.
It’s so hard to pick just one! I think my daughter would love the Rainbow Fairy Dress, but the Colour an Apron is so creative and beautiful, and she LOVES to help in the kitchen!
dragon cape for boys is so cute!
There are soooo many to choose from I can’t pick! My daughter is really into pirates and my little man is really into spider man! It would be awesome to get either child something to add to their tickle trunk!
The bumblebee dress is adorable.
The dragon cape for my son or a bumblebee or fairy costume for ym daughter. Totally love!!!
The fairy costume for my daughter.
My daughter would love the Crystal Queen Dress.
I would have to double check with my daughter, but I’m pretty sure she would like the Musketeer Dress and mask, or the Medieval Queen Gown, or the Renaissance Gown. We are very big into Princesses these days 🙂
The ladybug cape is amazing and what a great giveaway! Most kids love playing dress-up.
The dragon cape for my boys! It’s hard to find fun boys costumes and that’d be perfect!
