I adore the traditional characters from childhood and I really enjoy seeing adorable girl Halloween Costumes such as the Strawberry Shortcake Halloween Costume and Madeline Costume. I’ve added some great facts you may not have considered about these adorable classics!
Did you knowthat the Strawberry Shortcake girl was originated by the American Greetings group . They first came out with scented dolls that each had a unique aroma as well as a special animal side kick .
The Strawberry Shortcake following kept growing and in the 80’s there were a series of specials that were shown on television. The plots were usually showing Strawberry with her gang . Do you recall Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie?
In the TV specials the gang would fend off villains…but not very scary villains as these villians also had silly names like Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak. Say that 10 times fast!
Now, Madeline has to be my favorite character and I remember reading my daughter the story book of Madeline. Do you remember the poem?
“In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines,
lived twelve little girls in two straight lines,
they left the house, at half past nine…
the smallest one was Madeline.”
With Madeline’s bright blue dress, yellow brimmed hat and red tie, Madeline makes a adorable Halloween costume for any young girl who enjoys playing dress up.
Do you have a fair skinned little Strawberry Shortcake gal at home who would like to dress up in the large silly hat, dress and tights of this character? Or do you have a Madeline at home who can get in troubles but is just too adorable to get mad at ?
Whatever fits, the truth is that the outfits will never go out of style and I can bet that they might just stay out after October and get added to the dress up clothing box!
