Custard from The Save-Ums!
Custard (voiced by Jordan Francis) is a main character in the Canadian cartoon series The Save-Ums! Custard is four years old and has a very active imagination. To recreate this cartoon character’s look, you’ll primarily require a red facemask and purple hooded bodysuit. You can add some additional details if you’re up for it, including purple cat ears and the design on his belly. To do so, you can cut and glue felt pieces in place and then use purple fabric paint to add the exclamation point.
Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse
In Gabby’s Dollhouse, Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner) is a 12-year old girl with a stuffed animal pal, Pandy Paws, and a magical cat headband that let’s her shrink down to toy size. She unboxes new surprises, does cooking and crafts, and goes on animated adventures where she meets friends like Cakey Cat and MerCat.
Daniel Tiger
Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is an animated PBS show that is the spiritual successor to Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

For the costume, note that he wears a fancy wristwatch but no pants. Grr-ific!
Kneemoi from Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego
Kneemoi may look sweet but don’t take your eyes off her. She’s a shapeshifting grifter who has no issue stealing whatever she wants. Once she even stole all knowledge of Tai Chi! As one of Carmen Sandiego’s henchwomen, she is comfortable in a life of crime, something you probably shouldn’t bring to your Kneemoi cosplay.
Along with setting aside her criminal tendencies, Kneemoi cosplayers have a unique challenge. Kneemoi, in her normal state, is a pink floating ball with arms and, sometimes, a hose-like nose. A pink bodysuit is a good start, as are false lashes and pink face paint. You can add a pink skirt and pink flats if you would like a few more layers. And if you want to copy the nose she has in some variations, you can use skin-safe glue to attach a plastic hose over your nose.
