Wonder Max

Max's favourite programme du jour is The Wonder Pets. If you haven't seen it, it's about three classroom pets - a guinea pig, a turtle and a duckling. They fly around in their boat, wearing their "W" capes, saving baby animals in trouble, singing along the way: "What's going to work? Teamwork!" being the catchphrase. Each episode follows the same pattern, has supercute graphics and mostly uses a different style of music, depending on the location of the animal in trouble. I secretly quite like The Wonder Pets.

  

The second picture above is from the episode "The Wonder Pets Save the Beetles". They flew to Liverpool to rescue the Beetle band from their trapped "yellowish submarine", where they were singing "Kelp! We got tangled up in Kelp!". Obviously Max doesn't have a clue who the Beatles were, but it makes it quite entertaining for the parent who hears the shows in the background. There were episodes about the Hound Dog and the Rat Pack, to mention a couple. 

So anyway, Max LOVES this programme, so much so, that I decided to surprise him with his own cape, so he can save the baby animals in trouble.

It was a huge hit - he spent the first 10 mins trying to see the M on the back and then ran around rescuing all manner of creatures.

The cape was really quick to make - no time to pull out the sewing machine today, so used PVA. Seems to be sticking well.
