Raggedy Andy Toddler Costume

Description

One of our wise friends—an old bearded fellow we know is wise because his beard rivals even Gandalf—once said the new era of kids belonged to “the heads-down generation.” Think of them, all perpetually peering down at the screens of their smartphones, the LED glow of their hoverboards, and at the perplexing holes in their Crocs.

We know as well as you, though, that there’s more to life than lithium-ion battery-powered smart devices and the social media contained therein. There are tall trees and whirls of wind and all the sounds of life in both a rural retreat or a bustling city—all of which are missed when one’s ears are covered by music-blaring headphones. There are other human beings with personalities and dreams and, sometimes, outfits of plaid, stripes, and Velcro. And good news: we can actually help your child become one of the latter!

Forgo the passé pumpkins and tiresome tropes and suit your little one up in something truly terrifying: Raggedy Andy. It might not be the sharpest or goriest costume on the block, but don’t be surprised when the shrieks ring your ears: your little dude is dressed as a creepy, living, breathing doll, after all! With yarn for hair, a triangle nose, and no sense of sartorial boundaries (stripes and plaid? Come on!), your kid will get a small taste of life 100 years ago—and, we hope, will be able to slow down and enjoy the simple things our bearded friend might enjoy. Like lollipops and caramels and gummy worms.

NOTE: full wig not included.
