Sinister Easter bonnet?

[docket]

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?

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.

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

[Lizzylou]

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

[hobbittoes]

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

[piprabbit]

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?

[LorraineSattell]

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.

[Fliight]

fantastic.

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?

[MyCatIsABastard]

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??

[MmeLindt]

That is INSPIRED.

What does your DS think?

Let him wear it.

[nannynick]

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

[JackRabbitBauer]

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

[docket]

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!

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?

[pixiestix]

Fantastic! Totally fantastic!

[BigHairyLeggedSpider]

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.

[pollywollydoodle]

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?

[whingeomatic]

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...

[MamaGoblin]

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.

[snowplop]

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

[LorraineSattell]

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

[snowplop]

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

[nowwhatdoido]

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.
