My Hero

Kids just love to play dress up, and it seems anything that has a cape attached gets extra points among the kids in our neighborhood. So I just fell in love with Little Capers when I received one because I know my son is just going to love it! And I love it too because it's a neutral Super Hero image without any preconceived notions of violence or evil powers.

Little Capers was started by two college best friends who went on to become moms. They watched as their kids clipped dish towels onto their t-shirts, and it occurred to them: Why not create a line of t-shirts that come with their own capes? The capes are so cool, made of a slinky and metallic fabric, they attach with velcro to back of the shirt for versatility and practicality. And the Super Heroes these shirts evoke stem from the child's own imagination instead of some well-known Super Hero, both building creativity and discouraging violence.

These shirts aren't just for boys. They come in styles for girls too, and my four year old daughter was begging me for one when she saw the one for my son. She's in the throes of her dress-up years and this cute t-shirt with it's very own cape just stole her heart. Little Capers Powers, activate!
