Sinister Easter bonnet?

Ds1 loves foxes. So I thought it would be fun to make a bonnet with a fox chasing some chicks. the finished article looks a bit scary and having viewed some hats online I am wondering if this is in fact completely inappropriate. He is in reception so this is my first brush with bonneting. Am I worrying over nothing?

I think the chick on the left is a survivor from Angry Birds...

LOLOLOL

It's making me laugh more every time I look at it

JustMoon · 30/03/2010 21:17

ROFL thats the scariest thing I've seen for ages. However it is very well executed and will certainly be a lot more interesting than all the other hats. Send it in!

That is hilarious

He didn't win?! Some people have no taste at all.

But impounded bonnets, hmmmm.... maybe the teacher is wearing it at the pub as we speak.

That is a brilliant bonnet

WorzselMummage · 30/03/2010 20:06

Well, I'm not really sure!

I don't think he won a prize - he did get a certificate and a mini creme egg though. The hats are being kept at school for some reason. Perhaps it has been impounded!!

This has kept me smiling all day - I'm wondering if it replaces the "bat pic" for a whole new generation of MNetters?!!

HinnyPet · 30/03/2010 10:21

Brilliant! Am on bus sniggering!

savoycabbage · 30/03/2010 10:16

I want all the details. I have to go to bed soon. Do you get to watch the parade??? Ohhh the agony of waiting.

Showed the FrightHelmet to rest of family last night. We all pissed ourselves. No matter how many times I see it I still cry with laughter.

youremindmeofthebabe · 30/03/2010 10:10

That is the best bonnet/frightHelmet ever.

LorraineSattell · 30/03/2010 10:06

let's not call it a bonnet any more.

let's refer to it as the FrightHelmet.

Wow - thanks so much for all the kind comments! This time yesterday I was in a right pickle, worrying about it being completely inappropriate. Of course, it probably is completely inappropriate but I feel better about it!

DH took DS1 to school this am with the bonnet. I shall be sure to report back later.

For the first time I'm wishing dd's school did Easter Bonnets so I could whip up something with Hugh FW on it, wringing a chicken's neck.

savoycabbage · 30/03/2010 09:31

Sinister bonnet day!!! It's night time for me and I have been thinking about it all day, in fact I leapt out of bed this morning because I was all confused about when it was.

Colonelcupcake · 30/03/2010 09:26

Yes I definately want to know how it went and any reactions!

It is an amazing easter bonnet really original and simply fantastic

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 30/03/2010 08:29

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE OP, Come and tell us how it went down later.

I'm so glad I looked at this thread. Easter bonnet, I thought, what could possibly be so interesting about an Easter bonnet that so many people have commented on it.

And then I saw the photo.

This is the best Easter bonnet ever. Those teeth! The fox is sneering! The chicks are wide eyed and panicked, looking for an exit. The feathers scattered everywhere imply that they've already lost at least one little fluffy friend. They know there's no escape. They know that the shadow looking over them from behind is, in fact, their Certain Death.

Wonderful.
