PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Padded ball-shaped top with classic black-and-white hexagon print
- Matching ball-shaped hood with circular face opening
This Kids Soccer Ball Costume turns your football-loving kid into a walking, talking soccer ball — 3D padded construction on both the top and hood, classic black-and-white hexagon pattern, ready to roll into Book Week or school sports day.
The top is oversized and round with padding that holds the ball shape, short sleeves for movement, and a crew-neck opening to pull on over regular clothes. Hood frames the face with a circular cutout and the same hexagon print. Both pieces wear together for full head-to-toe ball effect.
Perfect For
Book Week & School Dress-Up Days: Natural pick for books about soccer, team sports stories, or any sports-themed literature project — think "Kick with My Left Foot" or sports biographies for Book Week parades.
School Sports Carnivals & Team Spirit Days: Instant crowd-pleaser at footy finals day, soccer tournament viewings, or any event where the whole class rallies behind the local team.
Costume Parties & Dress-Up Play: Works for Halloween, birthday parties with sports themes, or backyard kick-arounds where your kid wants to be the ball for once instead of kicking it.
How to Wear It
Pair with white shorts and black knee-high socks for full soccer-player-meets-ball energy. Black runners or footy boots complete the look. Skip the actual soccer ball prop — your kid is the ball.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
Chest up to 32", height 1.2–1.5m (roughly ages 5–10). The padded construction is forgiving — it's meant to be oversized and round. If your child is at the taller end of that range, check the 56cm top length hits where you'd want it.
Q: Can they wear this over their regular clothes?
Yes — crew-neck opening is wide enough to pull on over a t-shirt and shorts, handy if it's cold or if they're changing at school.
Q: Will this work for soccer-themed birthday parties after Book Week?
Absolutely. It's a hit at any sports party, World Cup watch parties, or just backyard dress-up. The 3D ball shape photographs brilliantly — expect requests for photos from other parents.
Q: Is the hood secure enough for active play?
The hood has a fitted edge around the face opening that keeps it in place during normal walking and posing. For running or actual footy matches, you might want to skip the hood or use a safety pin at the back to anchor it to the top.
