Costumes, capes and dress-up accessories

Dress Up

Some children reach for the same cape every morning. Others want a full costume, or just a crown, wand or wings to finish a look. If they're dressing up as a character — including wanting to be the doctor or carer rather than look after the patient — you're in the right place.

What actually matters when choosing

Decide whether you need a full costume, or an accessory to complete a look they already have.

Check the size and how easy it is to get on and off — especially if your little one likes to dress themselves. Look at what is included, and whether pieces they already own will work with what you're adding.

Follow the product age guidance. Masks and face paint have their own fit and use notes on the product page.

Want to look after a doll, teddy or toy animal rather than dress as the carer? Head to Looking After Others. Prefer miniature figures and little worlds over wearing the character? Try Small World Play.

MHH · What we've learnt

You don't always need another costume

If they already have a cape, dress or outfit they love, check the dress-up box before buying another complete costume. A different crown, wand, wings, mask or bag may be all that is needed to change or finish the look.
