What makes this fire hat different?
Most costume hats are plastic. This one is compressed plant fibers (sugarcane pulp and paper), so it's biodegradable and earth-friendly. The design was created by an actual firefighter, giving it an authentic look. It's meant to be played with and then composted or recycled after use, not kept forever.

The dimensions (11.25 x 8.4 x 4.25 in) and shape suit children in preschool through early elementary school. It's a unisex accessory that works for dress-up, birthday parties, parades, or fire safety events.
