My daughter loved this hat.  It fit her head at age 5 just fine and I was able to take a few photos in it myself.  She wore it to a square dance with her daddy and she had a blast with it.  The material is not too flimsy, but it is a toy so don't do too much rough handling it.  For the price, I thought it was perfect for her one day as a cowgirl.  It now sits in the closet until the cowgirl comes out and plays.
