This Kids Carol Wild Thing Costume brings Maurice Sendak's impulsive, lovable monster to life for Book Week or any storybook dress-up day. Carol's the optimistic one with the temper — the Wild Thing every kid wants to be when they're feeling a little wild themselves.
The jumpsuit's golden-yellow torso has horizontal tan and cream stripes that mimic Carol's fur, while the legs feature a diamond-patterned print in white and tan. The black faux-fur tail stands proud at the back, and the 3D headpiece captures Carol's signature horns and mane. Padded paws and feet come with stitched felt claws, and the whole thing goes on in under five minutes — perfect for busy mornings when the rumpus can't wait.
Perfect For
Book Week & Literature Days: A natural pick for Maurice Sendak's Where The Wild Things Are, one of the most beloved picture books in Australian school libraries, or any storybook character parade.
Halloween & Imaginative Play: Brings jungle fantasy and childhood adventure to trick-or-treating, costume parties, or backyard rumpus sessions with friends.
School Dress-Up Days: Ideal for Book Fun Days, character parades, or any event where your toddler gets to embody their favourite literary creature.
How to Wear It
The jumpsuit has integrated foot covers, so your child can wear it barefoot indoors or with socks underneath for warmth. Pair with comfortable sneakers if you're heading outdoors — the paws sit over the tops of shoes. The headpiece secures with Velcro under the chin, so it stays put even during energetic play.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order for my toddler?
This costume is sized for toddlers aged 18–36 months. Check the size chart for height and chest measurements — Carol's jumpsuit has a bit of room in the torso for layering a long-sleeve tee underneath if the weather's cool.
Q: Can my child wear this over regular clothes, or is it meant to go on bare skin?
It's designed to go over a singlet or thin tee and nappy/underwear. The fabric is soft against skin, but layering a long-sleeve top underneath works well for chilly Book Week mornings or outdoor events.
Q: How do I clean this after a day of wild rumpus?
Spot clean with a damp cloth for minor marks. For deeper cleaning, hand wash gently in cold water and air dry flat — the faux fur on the tail and headpiece will stay fluffier if you avoid the machine.
Q: Is this suitable for kindy Book Week or just home dress-up?
Absolutely suitable for kindy or daycare Book Week events. Where The Wild Things Are is a staple on Australian early-learning reading lists, and teachers will love seeing Carol in the classroom. The costume is comfy enough for your toddler to wear for a full morning session.
Care: Spot clean or gentle hand wash cold. Air dry flat. Avoid tumble drying the faux fur.
