Here's a question...

What's up with bear ears on children's hats? Seems like everywhere you look, there's another baby hat/hood/snowsuit with bear ears on it. The baby has four snowsuits - the knit one, the white one, the pink one, and the one-without-ears (aka the blue one). Ana's got a pooh-bear hat with ears on it. They've even got this lime-green outfit with a bear on it, and bear ears on the hood, and claws on the feet. (And if she's already cunningly disguised as a green bear, why the heck does she need another one on her chest?)

Mind, it's adorable, but... what's with all the ears? And why bear ears? Why not ever cat ears or bunny ears? And (and this is key), why can't I get hats with bear ears on them????

(Come to think of it, all my hats are made by my mom, so I probably *could*. I should look into this....)

a few years ago, i made a fleece hat that was dalmation spotted, with one spotty ear and one all black ear. for myself. it was cute. people gave me weird looks where ever i went but it was so fun. then i moved to AZ; it's too hot here for fleece hats.

kira has a hat with big floppy dog ears--store bought. and one with cat ears--homemade. she doesn't have any bear hats.

What you need is a straw hat, with holes cut in it and fake ears flopping out.
