What's in the Box

• Chocolate-brown tunic top with white icing trim and green button appliqués
• Matching elastic-waist trousers with white piped seam detail
• Character headpiece with gingerbread face and scalloped crown trim

This Kids Gingerbread Man Costume brings the classic "Run, run as fast as you can" fairy tale straight to your child's Christmas concert or Book Week parade. Soft chocolate-brown fleece tunic and trousers are trimmed with white piped icing detail running down the side seams, three bright green button appliqués sit down the front, and a cheeky red bow tie finishes the look.

The character headpiece is the standout piece — wide white eyes, a green gumdrop nose, and scalloped white trim around the crown give your kid that classic gingerbread cookie face parents remember from storybooks. Sleeves have attached mitten-style hand covers edged in white zig-zag icing trim, keeping little fingers warm during outdoor nativity scenes. Fleece is soft enough for all-day wear at kindy Christmas parties without scratching or overheating.

Perfect For

Book Week & Fairy Tale Days: A natural pick for fairy tale parades, classic storybook dress-up days, or any "Run Run as Fast as You Can" Gingerbread Man literature theme.

Christmas Concerts & Nativity Productions: Popular choice for school Christmas pageants, kindy holiday concerts, church nativity plays, or winter seasonal assemblies where kids dress as festive characters.

Casual Holiday Dress-Up: Perfect for family Christmas parties, gingerbread house decorating events, Santa photo sessions, or home play during December school holidays.

How to Wear It

Pair with brown or black sneakers (or go barefoot indoors for that cookie-on-a-baking-tray vibe). The mitten hand covers are attached, so no lost gloves mid-performance. Skip accessories — the headpiece and bow tie do all the work.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and height measurements. The elastic waist on the trousers gives flex if your child is between sizes — when in doubt, size up for a roomier fit that works over regular clothes.

Can they wear this over their normal clothes?

Yes, the tunic and trousers are roomy enough to layer over a long-sleeve top and leggings if your concert venue runs cold. The fleece fabric is warm on its own for Australian December weather.

How do I wash this? Is the fabric durable?

Gentle machine wash cold, lay flat to dry. The appliqués and piped trim are sewn on (not heat-transfer), so they hold up well through repeated wash cycles.

Is this suitable for outdoor nativity scenes or school concerts?

Absolutely. The fleece keeps kids warm during evening performances, and the attached mitten covers mean no lost gloves. Headpiece has elastic closure so it stays put during action scenes or group photos.

Care: Gentle machine wash cold, lay flat to dry.
