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?

Does look a bit scary, those fangs!

I'd never heard of easter bonnet making type thing before this thread: what an education! I so hope when DD goes to school that they do this...I'm inspired!

If that hat gets a prize im gonna be so pissed off my farkin flower garden cost me a bomb to make and I lost my fingertips twisting staples so they were childfriendly .

You are going to give the teachers in the staff room a fantastic laugh tommorrow. It is legendary. I mean that in a good way. You'll gain yourself a fantastic reputation and the teachers' will love you.

I'm bonneting tomorrow for the first time at DCs nursery....now I have some good ideas [sinister gleam in eye emoticon]

LorraineSattell · 29/03/2010 14:25

yes, i really cannot bear to close the pic down, i keep looking at it and snoooooorting with laughter. it's deranged.

snowplop · 29/03/2010 14:24

I hardly ever post but have reverse-snorted tea all over my monitor
Bloody brilliant!

MamaGoblin · 29/03/2010 14:07

Have wet myself.

If you want to redress the balance a little, could you add a really scary cockerel on one side? He could peck at the fox's eyes while giving the chicks a chance to run for the hills.

whingeomatic · 29/03/2010 13:57

ROFL

That is the funniest bonnet that I have ever seen.

My dd1 would have loved that - sadly she is now in the Juniors so no bonnetting here this year...

pollywollydoodle · 29/03/2010 13:57

that is fantastic! I'd vote for it..
to even things up, what about giving the gawping chick on the right a packet labelled fox poison?

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 29/03/2010 13:44

I'm having a difficult day and I've got your picture up in the background and everytime I need a pick me up I look at it and giggle again.

pixiestix · 29/03/2010 13:37

Fantastic! Totally fantastic!

isthatporridgeinyourhair · 29/03/2010 13:02

Love it! My DS would love it too. This is what school arty things are about. Can I suggest one improvement - what about putting a chick IN the foxy's mouth? Overkill?

Wow, thanks very much for kind comments! I woke up in a real panic about it, middle of the night fretting is such a pain! He will be wearing it with pride tomorrow, hopefully it won't cause offence!

Oh god, just got back from playgroup and seen it, it's awesome!

nannynick · 29/03/2010 12:07

I think it's wonderful. Let him wear it.
It's meant to be fun after all.

MmeLindt · 29/03/2010 11:55

That is INSPIRED.

What does your DS think?

Let him wear it.
