Character Outfits

School, weekend and traditional clothes.

Our characters appear in different outfits because children are more than one routine, one setting or one story. They go to school, relax at weekends, celebrate with family and express who they are.

  • School uniform supports school-readiness resources.
  • Weekend clothes help children relate to everyday routines.
  • Traditional attire celebrates culture, identity and belonging.
