Let your child’s imagination soar! (Giveaway)

Mon, Jun 2, 2008

Clothes

Capes1.jpgMy daughter loves playing dress-up! It’s a great way to promote imaginative play. She has pretended to be everything under the sun, even a woman having a baby and a doctor delivering the baby! But recently, she’s been pretending to be “Super Hero Lighting” with her new Big Cape from the makers of the Little Capers Super Hero Tees that I reviewed last year.
These fabulous Big Capes are approximately 31” in length and have a 17” collar with an adjustable Velcro closure at the collar. Choose from: Red Star, Pink Star, Red Lighting, Pink Lighting or Phoenix. I love the designs and color combinations on all of them and so will your child! The capes help your kids immerse themselves in creative play without any preconceived powers or violent connotations.

    Oh my goodness! My son would LOVE the Phoenix Cape! How adorable!!!

  2. Christine Chavez Says:

    My 5 year old son,Diego, would love the red star cape b/c it also has yellow which is his favorite color. It would be so cool if he won b/c Diego has Sensory Processing Disorder and many aspects of his development have been delayed especially imaginative play. We have provided Diego w/ a ton early intervention everything for OT to social skills groups to biomedical treatments and his play skills are finally taking off. The cape would be a great prop to help his imaginative play soar!!!!

  6. Carrie Marovich Says:

    Hi. Cute capes! My boys would love them — especially the Phoenix style! Great giveaway!

  7. Kristine Boyle Says:

    These capes look great! I have 2 superhero-obsessed boys that LOVE to make capes out of towels, scarves, anything they can get their hands on! Charlie(5) would LOVE the Red Lightening cape as he LOVES The Flash and this looks like his cape. And Max, my wonderful Prince Knight (as he likes to call himself) loves stars (probably because that’s one of the only shapes he knows, lol) so I think the Silver Star cape (cool color!) would help him save me, his Princess.

  8. Jen Thomas Says:

    These are adorable! I love the red star cape. My son isn’t totally into superhero’s yet but I think this cape would definitely help him get there!

  9. Jen Thomas Says:

  23. Larah Wong Says:

    my son Alex would love the red star cape. How cute!

  24. Sue Says:

    I just showed my almost 4 year old these capes…and the first thing he said was…”mommy do you have money to buy me one of those?” He’s into Resue Heroes right now and a cape would be a perfect thing for him to have.

  25. Jill Perry Says:

    My twins, Emma & Jack, will be 5 in August & just love to play dress up! A favorite game is the Prince that rescues the Princess! Pink Star & Red Lighting would be the hit(s) of our household!

  26. Tami Says:

    My daughter, Mia, is “Super Sister”. She has been amazing with her little sister today. She has been playful, loving, patient and so helpful. She has been MY Super hero today! I’d love for her to have the Pink Star cape!!

  27. Vanessa Says:

    My son would love the lightning cape because he runs fast as lightning!
    Vanessa

  28. Stephanie Says:

    My 5 year old son would absolutely love the Red Lightening cape. It would be a huge improvement on the dish towel capes that he currently wears.

  29. alizarins Says:

    I was just searching etsy for a cape for my soon to be 6 years old. A red star cape would be PERFECT for him. Thanks.

  30. Maureen R Says:

    I have three girls so it is all pink in our house. The pink lightening cape would be the choice here. My “super girls” would LOVE it.

  31. Karen Says:

    My daughter would totally love the pink lightening! She now has my love of all things pink!!

  32. sharona Says:

    My favorite is the Phoenix cape. I just called my 3 yr-old son over and asked which one he liked and his eyes lit up and he said, “the bwoo one is awesome!” So that’s two for the Phoenix!

  33. kim Says:

    My 6yo would love the pink star cape.

    My daughter would LOVE the Pink Lightning cape, she loves pink and would be chasing her friends around with her cape flying behind her!

  36. Victoria Lusk Says:

    Oh, my daughter would love one of these capes. I’m sure she would like them all but she is so girly that I would probably choose pink. She loves accessories like hats, shoes, and jewelry. She doesn’t have a real cape like this one so she uses her hooded towel as a cape! It is so cute to see her traipsing through the house with her cape/towel. She has so many years of this kind of imaginative play left that she would play with this for several years, at least. Oooh…maybe I want one for me too…just kidding.

  37. Kay Robinson Says:

    This would be perfect for my little Granddaughter, she already thinks she is a pinky dinky do super hero and to me she is!

  38. heather h Says:

    Oooh, Pink Lightning is the stuff little supergirl’s dreams are made of! I would love to win! Supergirl would have a ball zooming and flying around in this cutie. Thank you for the fun link!

  39. acg Says:

    love the pink lightening. my daughter tries to wear everything as a cape!

  40. Laura Ivy Says:

    OK. Can these BE any cuter!!! Win one or not, I have 3 girls and I call all of them “ROCKSTARS”. Without a doubt, the Pink Lightening bolt will be strutting around my backyard in the near future!
    Great site. I also LOVE the longsleeve shirts with cape too.
    Laura Ivy,
    Los Altos, California

  41. Jen Says:

    My Daughter would love the pink lightening! She’s into an Elmo/Zoe book right now where the characters wear capes. At the end, Zoe wears a cape and her tutu and becomes “super duper ballerina Zoe” and my daughter now has aspirations of becoming a life saving ballerina dancer!

  42. devi Says:

    my daughters would absolutely adore and fight over the pink star cape! what a great giveaway! thanks

  43. Andrea Says:

    My son already thinks he’s a superhero (complete with the belief that he can ‘fly’ off of just about anything-yikes!) but the red lighting cape would probably make his world! They are all great!

  44. Bri Says:

    The phoenix cape would be awesome for my son! I ordered the pink lightening cape for my daughter’s upcoming birthday! Hopefully I win the drawing so I can have TWO superheros!

  45. Shelley Says:

    My five year old would love the pink lightning cape!

  49. mannequin Says:

    Red Lightning would be the personification of my son!

  50. Ola Says:

    I can’t decide between the Phoenix cape and the Red Star cape. Both are great. The lightning one is too. I’d have a tough time deciding if I won.

  51. Chassie Says:

    My 5yr old would love the Pink Lightening Cape. One of her favorite shoes is Super Friends.

  52. lace Says:

    My niece actually saw these the other day and was so excited. She’d love the pink star cape.

  53. Jessica L. Says:

    My daughter Olivia would just be over the moon if she had the Red Lightning Cape. Red is one of her favorite colors and since her father is a comic book fan she likes Superman who, of course, wears a lot of red! She likes to run around the house yelling “Super Livi!”.

  54. Dawn Says:

    My little man would love the Red Lightening Cape. He is so in to Disney Cars right now and that matches McQueens lightening bolt. Caachow!

  55. Dawn Says:

  66. Melissa Says:

    my son would love the red lightning cape! though i would like the phoenix cape :)

  67. Marcy Says:

    oh wow…my son is a super hero nut and he’d just love the silver cape with the red star…red is of course his fav colour because of Spiderman!

  68. Shani Says:

    My nephew (age 4) would LOVE the red lightning cape. His sister and my daughters (ages 5,4 & 2) have a huge dress-up box with all their princess costumes, purses & jewelry. While he actually walks better in high heels than any of the girls, it would make his Daddy so happy to see him playing dress-up in a boyish costume instead of being one of the girls!

  69. Michelle Says:

    My son would love the phoenix cape. He would probably wear it everywhere he would go…grocery store, playground, grandmas, target…

  70. Angela Says:

    They are all adorable. My daughter would love the pink star. Loves pink, loves stars!

  71. Duwen Says:

    My daughter loves pink and purple so the pink star cape is the obvious choice. She would not want to take it off!

  72. Jilynn Bradshaw Says:

    The red lightning cape definately!

  73. Jamie Says:

    My little boy would love the red star cape! If I win, I will need to order a second one or else my other son would be very jealous!

  74. ginger Says:

    The pink star for sure, my two little girls, the “diva” and the “sassy lassy” would fly around the house like a couple of super heros!

  75. Rachel Says:

    What a fantastic find! Both my kids would love these!! But I am hoping to win the Pink Star Cape for me! With all I do as the mom, I feel like a Superhero…or a Rock Star! Either way, I think the cape would help!

  76. Diana Says:

    My son (4) would absolutely love this. He has such a wild imagination and loves being a super hero. He would love the blue one. However his sistter (3) would love the pinkone, because her favorite color is well pink.

    My daughter would love the Pink Lightning Cape!

  80. Whitney Says:

    The red phoenix would be my son’s absolute favorite but the pink star would be perfect for my daughter.

  81. Julie Says:

    My son would love the phoenix cape!

  82. Kim Chang Says:

    My daughter loves the pink star cape. She says she would be “twinkle twinkle little star super girl” with that cape.

  83. Erica Says:

    My girls would go gaga over Red Star.

  84. Linda Says:

    My daughter and husband have been adding lightning bolts to things since she was a baby – even her stroller had bolts. The pink lightning bolt cape is a perfect fit to their collection! And it doesn’t hurt that they love to play superheros too.

  85. Jennifer Ragsdill Says:

    My son, Ethan, will be 5 on June 13th! He would LOVE the Red Star Cape for his birthday. Dress-Up is a part of our everyday life because of his younger sister. This would be great for him to be able to put on in lieu of the pink tutu (which my husband is NOT happy about)! :o )
    Jennifer

  86. C Cherng Says:

    Beautiful capes! My son loves the red lightening cape!

  87. Jinky Steinberg Says:

    My daughter is a head strong little girl who would totally be suited to wear the pink lightning cape. She speaks her mind and is our super hero!!

  88. Tamara G. Says:

    Definately the Pink Lightening Cape! My little girl watches the PBS show “Super Why” and it’s a “super big problem” that she doesn’t own a cape like Super Why.

  89. Leah Says:

    My little super hero would look great flying around the yard in the Red Star Cape!

  90. Jennifer Says:

    We call our son Jack-Jack after the character in The Incredibles and so he’s all about the red lighning cape! What a wonderful product!

  91. Samantha Says:

    I love the pink star but my daughter is going crazy over the pink lightening! These are great!

  92. tati Says:

    My two girls are crazy for superhoroes and are just recently getting into playing dress up – they would LOVE one of these capes – especially the pink star!

  93. Marianne Says:

    These Capes are Amazing!! I incorporate alot of Imaginative Play into the Music Classes I teach to children with special circumstances (Autism, sensory integration disorder, apraxia etc) and SUPERHEROS is a recurring theme that unites and inspires both my lessons and students. I particularly love the Red Lightening Bolt – because it appeals to both boys and girls AND, my Fall music session is going to be all about Weather!

  94. Kysha M Says:

    My son would love the Phoenix cape (especially since he has to use my fabric cast-offs every time my daughter dresses up in her princess gear)!

  95. J Says:

    I made my nephew a cape two Christmas’s ago with his initials (RR) at the Superman logo. He’s starting to grow out of it and would love to have a “Big Kid” cape! Thanks for the opportunity

  96. Laura Tiebert Says:

    My son could save the world, or at least our cul-de-sac, in that lightning cape! No doubt it would get much more respect from potential evildoers than his current cape — his old hooded baby towel with yellow ducks.

  97. Beth van Duzer Says:

    A pink lightning cape is just the thing for my superhero obsessed daughter.

  98. Brandi Says:

    I have three girls. The Pink Lightening would be for them. I think they would have so much fun with it.

  99. Julie Chung Says:

    They are what every little superhero needs! So cute. My son would love the Phopenix design to “fly around” in.

  100. Kirsten Firth Says:

    My girly girl would adore the pink lightning cape! It would be much better than the hand towel cape she’s been using :-)

  101. Jenn Says:

    My son (when he’s old enough) would totally rock the Phoenix cape!

  102. Cheryl Says:

    Pink lightning!

  103. Melanie Morgan Says:

    The Phoenix cape is great! I have a son and daughter and this is one they could share:)

  104. Kelly Says:

    My son would absolutely love the red cape with the lightning bolt!

  105. Alyssa Says:

    My daughter is three and would love the pink lightning cape. The cape is adorable and pink is currently her favorite color. She has just started getting into dress up and has quite the imagination. A couple of times recently, I heard her call herself Super Tabitha when she was running around the house.

  106. diane Says:

    My little superhero would love to win the pink star cape to play with in her adventures:)

  107. Lauren Salazar Says:

    My son would love the red lightning cape he is my superhero for all he has been through for his 3 yrs of life.

    My kids would love the red lightning :) Thanks!

  113. Andreya Drury Says:

    My son would LOVE the Red Lightning cape!!!! It would be so much fun to see him jumping off the slide in our backyard with that on!!! What an amazing photo that would be!!

  114. Aimee Says:

    My daughter would think the pink star cape would be a blast to play peek-a-boo with!

  115. Emily Says:

    My daughter would love to be Pink Lighting – then she could play with her brother who has a superhero name of Blue Thunder.

  116. Leslie Says:

    I think my son would love the Red Lightening cape — but if we asked him (he’s 3), he might just want the PINK one! It’s his favorite color :)

  117. zoe Says:

    OMG. My kids wuld love those capes! The Pink Star for Ava, The Red Star for CAde and the Phoenix for Peyton! So much better than my bath towels!

  118. Andreya Drury Says:

    These are AWESOME!!!! It would be hard to pick just one my kids would love….I would have to say the red lightning ROCKS!!! What a great idea!

  119. Jill Says:

    Hands down the pink lightning cape! Princess Kate could save the world in that cape!!

  120. amanda p Says:

    E would love the Red Star cape. Heck, I would love the Red Star cape!

  121. Lori Says:

    These are gorgeous capes!!!!
    My older son would absolutely love the red lightning cape as he loves pretend play and the color red. He is always making up stories for all of us to act out and would love the cape for a new prop.

  122. Angie Says:

    ADORABLE! We sail a boat called a Lightning. My daughter would love the PINK with the bolt on it! She thinks she is a SuPErHErO with super powers!

  123. Becky Says:

    Totally cute! My “Super-ero” 3 yo would LOVE the pink star cape. :)

  124. Happy Von Dohlen Says:

    I have 6 (almost 7) kids that play dress up almost every day. Right now I have a fairy, a Snow White and a ballerina around me.
    We reviewed the capes and decided the Phoenix or the Pink Star are our favorite capes. We added the website to our favorites.

  125. Melissa Says:

    My daughter would love the pink lightening cape. Already at just nearly two she is constantly draping her shoulders in blankets, shirts, and of course her favorite…freshly laundered and of course already folded bras and underwear. What a sight she is!

  126. Dorothy Says:

    I think the red star cape would work the best for my brood. All three of them would just LOVE this.

  127. jennifer Says:

    The lightening hero short sleeve cape — He loves to run around in a cape and nothing else after bath time (who knows how this started)…Maybe this would convince him that it is time to wear, at the least, a shirt for his nightly run!

  128. marie Says:

    My daughter would love the pink lighting cape. She thinks she is a superhero – she calls herself “eagle eye” because she can always find dropped change no matter where we go!!

  129. Jennifer Says:

    My son would love the phoenix cape.

  130. Kimberly Bolyn Says:

    Definitely the Red Star cape! I have THREE boys ages 5, 3 and 1 so this cape would get tons of use! The boys play superheros all the time and this would make it so much more exciting for them – great product!

  131. Annie Brewer Says:

    My daughter would love the Pink Star cape. She plays dress up daily: princess, mommy, baby, doctor, policewoman, etc. She has silver glitter shoes that she wears daily with EVRYTHING! She would love the shine and sparkle of this wonderful cape. She and her imagination would both fly in one of these!!

  132. Donna L. Says:

    My 4 year old DD says “Pink, Pink, PINK!” So Pink Lightning it is! I am sure that baby brother is in for a lot of rescuing since we just entered the superhero phase.

  133. Michelle Says:

    Pink Lightening would certainly be both of my daughter’s first choices! What a cute idea to let those imaginations run wild!

  134. Amber U Says:

    My son would love the phoenix cape

  135. mijokaju Says:

    my daughter loves all things pink! her brother is always playing super hero things…she’d love to play with him in a “girl” super hero cape! :)

  136. Nina Says:

    My twins love to dress up and pretend to be super hero’s. My son would love the red lightening and my daughter would love the pink lightening.

  137. Christina W. Says:

    I love Lil Capers! My 3 yr old is forever running around with a blankie tied around her neck – that red lightning cape would certainly fit the bill…not to mention that once she outgrows it, I have a sneaking suspicion that her baby brother might just be getting interested in superhero deeds…

  138. HD Says:

    Oh, by all means — the Pink Cape! My daughter would love that it’s metallic and shiny and would think it was
    “Oh, so pretty, Mommy.”

  139. Jenny Says:

    I have a daughter, but that Phoenix cape is HOT. Heck, I might even wear it while I’m vacuuming and doing dishes! One of these would kick butt as a gift at a kid’s birthday party!

  140. La L. Says:

    It’s all about the phoenix, baby.

  141. Darcy Says:

    My little super hero would love the pink lighting cape. She LOVES playing dress up and would love to sport this one around the house as she plays super hero!

  142. Staci A Says:

    My 3 year old would love the Red Lightning Cape. He would be a superhero 24/7 with a cape like that!

  143. ray davison, II Says:

  144. Kathy Conley Says:

    Pink Lightening would be our pick – it is fab!

    Krystal

  149. Holly Says:

    My daughter would love the pink star!

  150. Lesley Says:

    My 41/2 year old, Avery, would get lost in her imagination with the Pink Lightning Cape. When she was a tiny baby, we used to call her “white ightning” because during the holidays, she would be dressed in a white long sleeve onsie and white tights…she looked like a wrestler…so we made up her wrestling name. Of course, Pink Lightning would be perfect!

  151. Gerilyn Says:

    The red light cape is so adorable! I would love to see my son in that!

  152. Gerilyn Says:

    The red lightening cape is so adorable! I would love to see my son in that!

  157. Tanya Says:

    Pink star!
    Right now we are using DD’s pink winter blanket, which is always falling off when she runs around

  158. Colleen Says:

    my little girl would love the pink lightening cape.

  159. wendy Says:

    my daughter would love the red star cape!

  160. Kimberly Koch Says:

    Holly Cow! Are you kidding?!! My son Canyon would probably be willing to stop kicking the cat to get his hands on the red star big cape and my daughter Autumn might stop pulling their tails to get the pink star big cape! Please give these cats some peace and let them play in their new big capes!!

  161. Gisela Cabrera Says:

    My 3 year old superhero, Eva, would LOVE the pink lightning cape! Thanks.
