What's in the Box

Green tunic with sewn-in blue sleeves and beige collar decoration
Tan trousers with brown criss-cross leg straps
Silver helmet with attached beard piece

This Kids Viking Warrior Costume brings the Horrible Histories books and TV series to life, with a forest-green tunic, silver helmet, and a ready-to-raid beard that'll make any kid look like they've sailed straight from Scandinavia.

The tunic layers blue sleeves under short green ones for that medieval warrior look, with a jagged beige collar piece at the neckline and a brown belt that cinches at the waist. Tan trousers have brown straps sewn in a criss-cross pattern down the legs — no fiddly lacing, just pull them on. The silver helmet is stiffened felt with decorative rivets across the front and a beige beard piece that hangs from the chin strap, giving every kid the full Viking raider effect. Elastic back strap keeps the helmet secure without digging in.

Perfect For

Book Week & School History Days: A natural fit for Horrible Histories-themed parades, Viking-era history projects, or any Book Week event celebrating educational series.

World Book Day & Educational Dress-Up: Pairs with the Horrible Histories curriculum popular in Australian primary schools — teachers love the tie-in to learning.

Themed Birthday Parties & Play: Great for medieval-themed parties, backyard raids, or dress-up days where your kid wants to be the warrior everyone remembers.

How to Wear It

Pair with brown boots or sturdy sneakers — the costume reads Viking warrior either way. Add a toy sword or shield from home for the full raider look. Skip modern accessories; the helmet and beard do all the talking.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and height measurements. The tunic runs true to size through the torso, and the trousers have a bit of give at the waist. If your kid is between sizes and still growing, size up.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

The tunic goes on over a t-shirt easily, and the trousers slip on like regular pants. Great for classrooms where kids need layers or if the day's cool.

How do I wash this? Is the fabric durable?

Hand wash the tunic and trousers in cold water, lay flat to dry. The helmet and beard are felt — spot clean only, no soaking. Built to last through a few Book Weeks and birthday parties.

Is this the official Horrible Histories costume?

Yes, this is a licensed Horrible Histories costume. The badge on the sleeve and the design are straight from the CBBC series and Scholastic books — authentic for fans of the show.

Care: Hand wash tunic and trousers cold, spot clean helmet, lay flat to dry.
