Realistic Hippopotamus Costume

Hippo Dreams

Hugo the Hippo sat on his pillow

He looked out the window and what do you know?

Oh, it started to snow!

Flakes, both large and small, they began to fall

He could not believe his eye and let out a cry,

“Oh, dear! Oh, me! Oh, my!”

How could this be? Should he flee? Should he learn how to ski?

Snow was something Hugo had never seen

See, his home was the new zoo in Timbuktu

He had to pause, in lieu of the view

Oh, what’s a Hippo to do?

He stuck out his tongue, all day long

Until a light breeze, made him sneeze!

He woke from his slumber to his great wonder,

As it would seem, ‘twas all just a dream

On his lazy day living in the stream…

While not all hippos may dream of snowfall in the summertime, most kids do dream of becoming their favorite animal! And any child who loves the humble hippopotamus is going to love wearing this exclusive hippopotamus costume for kids!

Design & Details

Our costume designers love animals and they wanted to get this child hippopotamus costume just right. That’s why they spent tons of time looking at a hippo’s skin to get the patterning as realistic as possible! You can truly see their hard work in the jumpsuit, which has shades of gray, pink, and white working together to create a style that looks like it came straight from the wild! The back of the suit has a small tail attached to the waist and each leg ends in a simple foot cover that fits over your child’s shoes. The headpiece is plush and shaped like the head of a hippo! It with a strap under the chin.

Hugo the Hippo

If your child’s favorite animal is the hippo, then they just may want to dress up like our friend Hugo from the poem! This realistic costume is the perfect way to do it!
