Yesterday, my kids opened a drawer in the dining room that was packed with retired bibs. They were sort of excited to see the bibs, as if they were old friends. When I realized we don’t use bibs at all anymore, it seemed obvious what their future would be: stuffed animal capes.
Julian had a whole plan about how he was going to entertain younger children by flying these guys around attached to a rope. He was not going to let the younger children touch the stuffed animals. (His plan was flawed.)
I was thinking I’d just put a star in the center of the bibs with a Sharpie, but the dictator Julian had a more specific process in mind. Ultimately, we ended up with a Wonder Pets-inspired look. I think a less costume-obsessed child would probably be ok with an unadorned bib.

Too funny!
Oh my gosh… this is adorable. I almost wish i kept my collection of bibs. I may need to go pick some up to super here out all of the littles stuffed animals. They would love it. Thanks for the idea .

aha! I knew there was a reason H won’t wear bibs, it’s cause she wants us to use them on stuffed animals instead! Did you use fusible webbing on those?
That is so cute. My kids are the same. They take their capes from Superman, the kneepads as a shield and finally another toy as an magic belt and completely outfit teddy.
As I type one is running around with an apron on …you guessed it as a cape. ( apron from that DIY shop)
They’ll always adapt things. I love it!
