What's in the Box

Padded muscle top with brown faux-fur sleeves and printed gorilla chest
Full-head latex gorilla mask with open roaring mouth and fabric hood

This Kids Gorilla Costume brings the jungle roar to Book Week, Halloween, or any animal-themed party. The set includes a padded muscle top with realistic gorilla chest texture and brown furry sleeves, plus a full-coverage latex mask that shows fierce teeth and gums mid-roar.

The printed torso mimics gorilla muscle definition with embossed fur texture and scratch marks — looks powerful without the bulk of a full bodysuit. Brown faux-fur sleeves add wild-ape energy. Mask is rigid latex construction with a fabric hood attachment that tucks under the top's neckline. Velcro closure at the back neck makes it easy to get on and off. Aggressive, intimidating ape look that stands out in any lineup.

Perfect For

Book Week & Wildlife Stories: A natural pick for any jungle adventure or animal-themed book character — pairs with King Kong retellings, Where the Wild Things Are, or wildlife exploration stories for kindy and primary school dress-up days.

Halloween & Costume Parties: The roaring mask and muscular chest turn any Halloween party or themed event into a wild jungle moment. Works for monster-themed school discos or zoo-themed birthday parties too.

Everyday Dress-Up Play: Kids who love gorillas, King Kong, or mighty ape characters will wear this around the house. The mask is removable so the top works as a standalone costume piece for playtime.

How to Wear It

Pair with black pants or jeans (not included) and black sneakers or boots for a complete jungle-king look. The mask hood tucks under the top's neckline — put the mask on first, then slip the top over to secure it. Add toy bananas or jungle props if you're feeling extra.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and length measurements. The top runs true to size with a bit of room for layering over regular clothes. If your child is between sizes or you want them to wear a hoodie underneath, size up.

Can they see and breathe easily in the mask?

Yes — the mask has open eye holes and the roaring mouth design allows for airflow. The hood attachment keeps the mask secure without elastic digging in. Test it at home before the event so they're comfortable moving around.

Do they need to wear anything else, or is this the full costume?

You'll need to supply black pants or jeans and shoes. The set includes the muscle top and mask only — everything else is whatever's in their wardrobe.

Is this suitable for school Book Week events?

Absolutely. It's a recognisable animal character that pairs with jungle and wildlife storybooks. The mask can come off if the school has a "no face-covering masks" rule — the top still works as a gorilla costume on its own.

Care: Spot-clean the mask with a damp cloth; hand-wash the top in cold water and air-dry.
