I have twin five year old girls and one of them is into anything "safari" so I wanted to get her a pith helmet.  I looked at a lot of them and showed her pix of a lot of different ones, I mean I was wiling to spend in the mid 30s to get a nice one with the strap on the inside to adjust the size and everything.  In then end, the minute she saw this one, she wanted this one, all because of the graphics on it.  She is also a dinosaur freak, so when she saw the dinosaur skeleton it was all over.  These hats are thin plastic and large enough to fit an adult's head.  When they arrived I put little holes in them and put elastic through the holes and around the front of the hat and down togo under the chin to keep them on the girls' heads.  I figured after time these holes would get larger and ultimately result in the demise of the hats, but these cost so little that I will simply go buy more hats when that day comes.  I like that the graphics are all different and we spent time talking about them.  I especially liked the the compass like graphic and talked about compasses and direction, at the doctor's office after her kindergarten shots out of the prize bin she chose a tiny but relatively functional compass as her reward.  Please see my pix of the girls in their hats "going on safari" in our woods!  they also insisted on wearing them on our school field trip to the arboretum. I would definitely recommend these hats over the plain ones that can be bought at Oriental Trading and other cheap party supply places, who wouldn't want these fun and engaging graphics over just plain tan!?!  The price is so cheap and the shipping was so fast, just a great thing al around!
