What's in the Box

One child Dorothy wig with attached blue satin bows

This Kids Dorothy Wig brings the classic farmgirl-turned-adventurer from The Wizard of Oz to life, with pre-styled braided pigtails that frame the face and blue satin bows tied at the ends. It's the signature Dorothy Gale hairstyle that turns any blue gingham dress into an instantly recognizable Book Week costume.

The light brown synthetic hair has a natural-looking texture with subtle highlights, and the braids are permanently attached so there's no styling stress on the morning of dress-up day. The fitted cap sits securely on your child's head, and the satin bows match the iconic blue gingham pinafore from the 1939 film.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A go-to choice for L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz parades, classic storybook character days, or any Book Week theme celebrating adventure and courage.

School Performances & Nativity Plays: Perfect for Wizard of Oz school musicals, end-of-year concerts, or any stage production where your child plays Dorothy Gale or a Kansas farmgirl.

Dress-Up & Themed Parties: Great for Halloween trick-or-treating, classic movie character parties, fairy tale birthdays, or everyday imaginative play in the dress-up box.

How to Wear It

Pair with a blue gingham pinafore dress, white blouse, and red shoes (ruby slippers if you have them) for the full Dorothy Gale look. Slip the wig over your child's natural hair—the fitted cap holds it in place without pins or clips.

Parent FAQs

Does this fit most kids, or is it size-specific?

It's one size fits most children—the wig cap has some stretch to accommodate different head sizes, typically suiting kids aged 4–12 years comfortably.

Can they wear this over their own hair, or does it need to be tucked away?

It's designed to go over natural hair. For the neatest fit, tie your child's hair back in a low ponytail or bun before putting the wig on—the cap construction will hold it securely.

How do I store this between wears? Will the braids hold their shape?

The braids are permanently styled, so they'll keep their shape. Store the wig on a wig stand or in a box away from direct heat—avoid crushing the braids under heavy items.

Is this suitable for outdoor Book Week parades in warm weather?

Yes, though wigs can be warm. If it's a hot day, consider keeping it on for photos and the main parade, then letting your child take it off between events. The polypropylene fibers are durable enough for repeated on-and-off wear.

Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth; do not wash or heat-style.
