Great color and great sheen.  It has a nice Velcro fastener so it will fit any child. It fluffs out nicely when the child runs towards a take-off (my 3 year old granddaughter wanted to watch it fly as she ran, but physics was against her..her 5 year old brother, who received the gift, somehow got past this defect).  Can't speak to durability, but it seems well made and better quality than I expected.  For a child with any imagination at all, this is a fine 'dress-up' cape at a good price. I loved watching my grand kids 'fly' around the yard in the bright red cape (with its nicely ambiguous symbol).  Educational value? Well, it certainly stimulates the imagination.

If I ever have 5year old (grand) kids again, I would buy this cape again.
