Tiger Ears

$22.00

A pair of ears is all it takes to turn into a tiger, or whatever wild creature your child's imagination dreams up next.

Ears are 21 inches in circumference with an elastic band that stretches to fit most heads comfortably, made from heavyweight, 100% pure mulberry silk.

  • Dress-up play is the work of the child, and children benefit cognitively, physically, socially, and emotionally through this work.
  • Open-ended play with dress-up costumes allows children to express their imagination and supports their independence. 
  • Dramatic play gives the child’s imagination free reign. Who, where, or what they can become is limitless, which allows our costume pieces to grow with the unique creative needs of each child and provides them with many years of lasting play value.

Safe for children 3+.

Wonderful fit and great quality. I purchased this for pretend play as well as for a Halloween option. We will get tons of use out of this headband! I plan on purchasing a different animal for our Christmas stocking!

How adorable! Thank you so much for sharing the cute-ness!😊

Well-made and my kid loves it

My toddler is typically reserved in public, but the tiger ears and cape help bolster his confidence! The silk and headband are well-made, and my toddler loves wearing the costume. I’m also happy it can continue to be part of his dress-up collection after Halloween.

Hi Stephanie! Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so happy to hear that your son loves the costume and feels more confident in it :) We hope our items bring years of fun and imaginative play for him!
