PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- One pair of round wire-rim glasses with clear lenses
These Kids Round Wire Glasses bring instant vintage charm to any Book Week or 100th Day of School costume — oversized circular lenses in classic wire-rim style, the kind every storybook grandparent or wise wizard wears. Clear non-prescription lenses sit in thin metal frames with plastic-tipped temples for comfortable all-day wear.
The exaggerated round shape reads immediately as "elderly" or "scholarly" — perfect for transforming into a 100-year-old on the 100th Day of School without any other props. Lightweight wire construction means kids can wear these through assembly, photos, and classroom activities without fuss. Pairs brilliantly with a grey wig and cardigan for instant grandparent energy.
Perfect For
100th Day of School: The go-to prop for "dress as a 100-year-old" celebrations — add a walking stick and grey hair for the complete look, or wear these alone for quick-change simplicity.
Book Week & Character Parades: Works for any bespectacled literary character — wise wizards, elderly storybook narrators, historical figures, or classic librarian archetypes from chapter books.
Retro & Vintage Dress-Up: Birthday parties with old-fashioned themes, grandparents' day at kindy, school concerts featuring historical scenes, or casual play when kids want to "be old" for the afternoon.
How to Wear It
Slide the wire temples over the ears; the plastic tips curve gently for a secure fit. For the full elderly costume effect, pair with a grey wig (powder your child's hair with baby powder if no wig available), a soft cardigan, and sensible shoes. Skip modern accessories — the glasses do most of the work.
Parent FAQs
Will these fit my child's face?
The oversized round lenses and adjustable wire temples fit most kids aged 5–12 comfortably. The frame is intentionally large for the "grandparent glasses" effect — if your child has a smaller face the glasses will sit lower on the nose, which adds to the elderly look.
Are the lenses safe for all-day wear at school?
Yes — clear non-prescription plastic lenses with no magnification, safe for extended wear during 100th Day activities. The wire frame is lightweight so kids forget they're wearing them. Remove for PE or playground if they're bumping things.
Can these be worn over prescription glasses?
Not comfortably — the wire frame sits too close to the face. If your child wears glasses daily, these work best as a quick photo prop rather than all-day wear, or swap them in just for assembly/photos.
Will the wire frame bend or break easily?
The metal wire is sturdy enough for a full school day but not rough play. Store flat in a pencil case when not in use. If the temples get bent, gently reshape by hand — the wire is pliable but holds its curve well with normal care.
Care: Wipe lenses with a soft cloth; store flat to prevent bending.
