Who says girls can’t be super heroes? Even the most girlie of girls will enjoy saving the day in this cute cape from Ellie Bellie. Granted, an old towel or sheet can be just as much fun, but this custom-made cape, which comes in your choice of heart, star, or lightening bolt design, makes super hero status a bit more official. The fun accessory is machine washable, and closes with a magnet, so there are no ties or pins to fuss with. You can purchase one of these great little capes for $30 at jujubeaneboutique.com.

As a mom who cares about fashion, I’m jealous of moms with little girls. I do my best to dress my boys with care but to be able to dress a girl would be loads of fun. For your little girl, I suggest the Hayride Ruffle Cape in Tweed by Etsy seller redpossum. It’s adorable, available in a pretty blue, and $60 in size small for a 2-3 year old (also sold in XS.) It is made of a wool tweed and lined with cotton and is absolutely lovely. Perfect for Thanksgiving gatherings or family pictures or even pumpkin picking.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s your kid! Children seem to have a thing for making towels into capes so now with BoBo Brooklyn’s Superhero capes, they can really look the part! These great “capes” double as towels with a soft, terry-towel material on the underside that makes it perfect for bath time, a trip to the beach or a fun dress-up session.

They’re available in pink, blue and red so you’ll be sure to find a color that suits your little superhero. I already order two pink ones for my girls. Up, up and away! You can get one at lalaling.com for $50.
