What's in the Box

Woven yellow basket with arched handle
Soft grey Toto plush dog with pink tongue

This Wizard of Oz Toto Basket turns any Dorothy costume into the real deal — woven yellow basket in herringbone pattern, soft grey terrier plush with shaggy fur and pink tongue peeking out, sized to nestle perfectly inside. Classic Kansas farmgirl energy, no ruby slippers required (but they help).

The basket's sturdy plastic weave holds its shape through the Yellow Brick Road and back, while the plush Toto has that scruffy cairn terrier look fans of the story know. Basket handle lets you carry it comfortably all day — school parade, Halloween street trick-or-treating, or a full evening performance without your arm going numb.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A natural pick for The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, classic storybook character parades, or any fairytale dress-up day where Dorothy makes the list.

School Musicals & Nativity Plays: If your child's playing Dorothy in the school production of The Wizard of Oz, this is the finishing touch the costume needs — no DIY basket-weaving the night before the show.

Halloween & Themed Parties: Pairs perfectly with blue gingham dress and red sparkle shoes for Halloween trick-or-treating, Wizard of Oz birthday parties, or any Kansas tornado-themed event.

How to Wear It

Loop the basket handle over one forearm and let Toto peek out as you walk. Pairs best with a blue gingham dress, white socks, red shoes, and braids tied with blue ribbon. Skip modern accessories — Dorothy travels light.

Parent FAQs

Q: Is the Toto plush removable or sewn into the basket?

A — The plush sits loose in the basket, so your child can take Toto out to play with between costume events. The basket holds its shape even when empty.

Q: Can my child carry this all day without it being too heavy?

A — Yes. The basket and plush together are lightweight enough for school-age kids to carry comfortably for hours. The handle is smooth and won't dig into their arm.

Q: Will the basket hold other small items (like Halloween candy)?

A — The basket has room for a few small items alongside Toto, but it's sized as a costume accessory rather than a functional trick-or-treat bucket. Better for show than storage.

Q: Is this suitable for a school Book Week parade?

A — Absolutely. The Wizard of Oz is a classic on most Book Week approved lists, and this accessory makes the Dorothy costume instantly recognisable without needing a full explanation.

Care: Spot clean basket with damp cloth; hand wash plush if needed, air dry flat.
