What it is:
A sparkly silver cape, for the littlest superheroes.
Why we love it:
Being a kid is hard work; there are strenuous hours of making a mess, the onerous task of nap-time, and the challenge of getting underfoot, all while maintaining a secret identity as Super Kid. Being a superhero, as any kid will tell you, is one of the best bits of being a kid. You can swoop in to save Barbie, G.I. Joe and all the other tiny plastic people from certain peril, all the while no one suspecting that you are in actuality a mild-mannered tot. Of course, one of the key ingredients of being a successful superhero is a good costume, something to frighten the bad guys, awe the onlookers and protect your secret identity. A mask, certainly, would be handy, but in order to really achieve the true superhero style what you really need is a cape. Luckily, we happen to have found one, done in sparkling silver with a star embossed on the back, it's just the thing to complete a super ensemble. Have one on hand for the next time a little one in your life needs to save Metropolis.
