Flip the cape, fasten the neck strap, and the dragon becomes a knight.

🐉 Two characters in one: a shiny green scale-print dragon side and a silver knight side with a shield emblem
🔄 Quick switch with a Velcro neck strap, so a child can flip and refasten it without help
🧢 Reversible hood included, matching whichever character is showing
🧼 Easy care with a cold gentle machine wash and drip dry, so mud and juice are not a drama
📏 Right fit in size 5-6, with room to swish and spin

The Educator's Note

The dragon and knight sides give a child two opposing characters in one costume, so they plan both sides of a conflict. That practises perspective-taking and story sequencing, which feed directly into narrative writing in Prep and Year 1.
The Velcro neck strap and reversible hood let a 5 or 6 year old dress and switch characters without adult help. They get independence mid-game rather than waiting for someone to fix the costume.
One reversible cape settles the 'who gets to be the dragon' argument. Siblings swap halfway through and both get the lead role, which gives real turn-taking practice in group play.

One cape, two characters. Flip it to switch from a shiny green, scale-print dragon to a silver knight with a shield emblem, and fasten it at the neck with a Velcro strap. The included hood matches whichever side is showing, and the whole cape washes on a cold gentle cycle. Made in size 5-6 for children from 5 years, when pretend play moves from simple dress-up into full stories with heroes, villains and plot twists. A child can play the dragon one minute and the knight who faces it the next.

Also available in a great value bundle

This cape suits children who already build stories and want a costume with more to offer than one look.

The 5 or 6 year old who moves between hero and villain mid-game and wants a costume that keeps up
Siblings or friends who share dress-up and need a fair way to swap roles
Children preparing for a Book Week parade, a costume party or a school dress-up day who want a standout costume that is also easy to wear
Families buying for a 5 or 6 year old's birthday who want a costume with real play value in a size that fits now

Two sides to every story

The dragon side is a shiny green scale print. Flip it over and the cape turns silver, with a shield emblem on the knight side. Children at this age love to play both sides of a story, and this cape lets one child do exactly that without changing costume.

Built for storytelling, not just dressing up

Around 5 to 6 years, pretend play gets more complicated. Children plan the plot, assign roles and argue (politely, most of the time) over who rescues whom. A costume with two opposing characters gives them the tension a good story needs. They practise taking another point of view, switching voices and building a sequence of events, which is the same skill they use when they start writing narratives at school.

With siblings or friends, the reversible design also settles the 'who gets to be the dragon' dispute. Swap the cape halfway through and both children get a turn.

Easy for small hands to manage

The Velcro neck strap lets a child fasten and refasten the cape on their own. There are no ties to knot and no buttons to line up, so they can switch characters mid-game without calling for help. The same press-and-pull action carries over to fastening shoes and school bags.

The included hood is reversible too, so it matches the character they are playing. Wash the cape on a cold, gentle cycle with no bleach, drip dry and iron on low heat if needed. It is sold as a size 5-6, so check your child's measurements before ordering.
