Description
This gingerbread man costume for kids is a hooded one-piece jumpsuit in biscuit brown, with white icing-style trim, three red buttons and a green satin bow tie. It comes in sizes S, M and L for ages 5 to 12 and is ready for Book Week 2026, Christmas concerts and class parties.
It is one of the simplest costumes to put on: one piece, hood up, done. Kids can run, sit on the floor and play in it, which matters when a costume has to last a parade and a full school day. The icing trim runs down the front, arms and legs, and the gathered cuffs keep the sleeves and legs out of the way.

Sizing tip: if your child is between sizes, choose the next size up. Book Week falls on a cold August morning in much of Australia, and a roomier onesie leaves space for a thermal underneath.
Why Parents Choose This Gingerbread Costume
-
One piece - no separate top, pants or hat to lose at school.
-

Hood with face opening - finishes the look without a mask.
-
Two seasons of wear - Book Week in August and Christmas concerts in December.
-
Easy to move in - comfortable for a parade and a full school day.
Fabric & Care
The jumpsuit is a soft, lightweight polyester. The bow tie and buttons are attached, so there is nothing loose to keep track of.
Hand wash in cold water and hang to dry in the shade. Do not iron the white trim. Please allow a 1-3 cm variance in measurements.
Book Week and Party Styling Ideas
The Gingerbread Man is a classic folk tale, first printed in the 1870s and retold in countless picture books: the cookie who jumps out of the oven and runs away calling "Run, run, as fast as you can!" It is a favourite with younger readers, which makes this a natural Book Week costume for the early primary years.
Add white sneakers, a touch of rosy cheek make-up and a copy of the book to carry in the parade. For a group or sibling costume, the fox, the little old woman and the little old man complete the story.

S suits about 5-6 years, M about 7-9 years and L about 10-12 years. Check the chest measurement and size up if in doubt.
Is it good for Christmas too?
Yes. Gingerbread is a Christmas favourite, so it works for school Christmas concerts and parties as well as Book Week.
