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!

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

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

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?

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.

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?

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??

That is INSPIRED.

What does your DS think?

Let him wear it.

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

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

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?

Fantastic! Totally fantastic!

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.

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...

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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 .
