Monkeys are one of the most loved animals. Their actions and family structure are closer to our own than any other mammal.

Monkeys are curious creatures and like to explore their world much like our children do. So it seems natural to consider a monkey costume for our little ones.

And what fun. Imagine discovering what it is like to have a tail. Besides, your little monkey will look adorable in these outfits.

This Lil’ Monkey costume makes one smile just looking at it. This plush bodysuit has a fur like look in dark brown with light brown tummy and knitted cuffs. The long, furry tail is attached.

This is a well made outfit with an eye to detail. Look at the slip on booties. They have monkey toes! Yet, safety was also a factor so the soles are made of non-slip finish. Booties are designed for inside wear only.

The hood comes with monkey ears to finish off the look.

The monkey suit is completely lined. Your little one will be comfy in this outfit.

On the practical side, the jumpsuit has snap leg closures for easy diaper changes. Also, it is machine washable. It is available in three sizes: 6-12 months, 12-18 months, and 18 months to toddler size 2.

This is a great costume to monkey around in for Halloween, play dates, and monkey themed Birthday parties.

The Mischievous Monkey costume will look adorable on your little one. The brown and tan jumpsuit is made of soft velour. It has snap leg closures for easy access. The attached foot covers look like monkey paws on the bottom disguising the slip resistant finish.

The hood really highlights this costume. The top of the head has a tuft of black hair sticking straight up. Like a little monkey that didn’t stop to comb his hair in the morning. There are big monkey ears sticking out each side and to finish it off, a monkey face brim with black button eyes and a black nose. So cute! This little monkey is ready to play.

The hood has an elastic edge for ease of dressing. Suit is machine washable.

Comes in sizes for 6-18 months and size 2 toddler.

Your toddler will have fun in the Monkey N’ Around costume. This one piece monkey suit is a warm brown plush velour with front zipper. There is elastic at the ankles and wrist. Monkey hands are attached at the wrist to give a realistic look. They stick out to the side so leave the hands free.

Perhaps the best part of this outfit is the monkey head hood with ears, eyes, protruding black nose and stitched on mouth. Your little one will go bananas over this outfit.

The suit is made of washable polyester. Available in size 2-4 for toddlers and 4-6 for children.
