A Swiper the Fox Halloween costume would be a blast for kids who love Swiper, the antagonist from the tv show Dora the Explorer.
No matter what task or adventure Dora and Boots are on you can be assured that Swiper is never far away. The sneaky fox is always looking for new and clever ways to sneak up on them and swipe their belongings. If he succeeds he throws the item far away and says, “You’ll never find your (insert name of object) now.”
But there is one way that Swiper can be stopped. Dora and Boots must say, “Swiper no swiping, Swiper no swiping, Swiper no swiping!” fast enough to thwart his attempt. And of course he always replies, “Oh Man!”
If your child wants to be Swiper then you have a few options. For babies under 9 months there is an officially licensed Swiper costume. For toddlers and older kids you can either adapt a regular fox costume or make a costume from scratch.
A fun idea would be to coordinate with a sibling or friend and go out trick-or-treating with Swiper, Dora and Boots Halloween costumes.
Swiper the Fox Halloween Costume for Infants
The Swiper the Fox Baby Costume is an officially licensed costume. The two piece set includes a soft fleecy tan and yellow romper with attached tail. There are snaps along the inseam for easy diaper access. There is also elastic at the cuffs and hem to help keep the costume from riding up. The character headpiece secures under the china and Swiper’s face sits on top of your baby’s head.
Available in infant sizes for babies 6 – 9 months.
(** Unfortunately, as I’m updating this page for 2022, I’ve noticed this costume is no longer available. I’ll leave it up so you can see what the original costume looked like, and I’ll include options further down to adapt a fox costume.)
