Sinister Easter bonnet?

210 replies

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?

docket that is bloody fantastic! The other boys are going to be so jealous of your DS's bonnet!

What the hell is the Halloween costume going to be like though??

omg that's hilarious. please let him wear it! i shall look out for you 2mrw and hope your ds is in my ds' reception class. if it helps, you cd put a fence between them so the fox can't actually eat them?

fantastic.

the chick on the left knows that all he has to do is outrun the one on the right. what a little bastard he is.

Chick on left may be determined - but also seems to have lost lots of feathers. Possibly some sort of survival strategy, like lizards losing their tails when caught?

hobbittoes · 29/03/2010 11:25

OMG I think that chick on the right may have had a stroke

Am gutted we have no Easter bonnet requirements here, that bonnet is fab.
Bet your DS will be the envy of the other pupils

PMSL and spat coffee over my keyboard - could give some scaredy people nightmares but sooooo hilarious for adults!

ItsAllaBitNoisy · 29/03/2010 11:20

After my 2nd look, I can sense a certain determination in the eyes of the chick on the left. Always a good life lesson for children.

DD been school for 2 years, and we never did easter bonnet. Is this religious thing?

Slartybartfast · 29/03/2010 11:11

roar

dillinger · 29/03/2010 11:07

The chick on the right looking over its shoulder has cracked me up

dillinger · 29/03/2010 11:06

That is fab

savoycabbage · 29/03/2010 11:02

It's amazing! The chick on the right looks as if it is about to faint with fear. And you will be able to hire it out for World Book Day for Fantastic Mr Fox and for weddings where the MIL disapproves strongly of the bride.

I bet your ds loves it almost as much as we do and will be as prod as can be of his sinister bonnet.

ROFL!

piprabbit · 29/03/2010 10:55

ROFL @ crucified bunny.

Can this go on a classic thread with a link to the photo? I think it deserves it. Sets the bar for all future easter bonnets.

cocolepew · 29/03/2010 10:48

Don't change it! It's the funniest thing I've seen in ages.

Fennel · 29/03/2010 10:45

My dds are expert in producing sininster Easter bonnets. A couple of years ago, dd1's had, among the chicks and flowers, a crucifix with Jesus hanging there, with a very prominent willy . And dd2's had a crucified bunny .

Disappointingly, neither of these efforts won the competition.

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 29/03/2010 10:45

I've just gone back for a second look. Yup! I still love it!!!!

piprabbit · 29/03/2010 10:44

I am going to wait for a thread on AIBU called ' AIBU to be upset that a boy at PFBs school was wearing a hat showing baby chicks being slaughtered'.
Would love to see the responses to that one.

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 29/03/2010 10:43

Thank you SO much for cheering me up. That is abolutely brilliant!!!

LorraineSattell · 29/03/2010 10:41

I am cowering. that is hilarious. what does ds think?

ninah · 29/03/2010 10:40
