Here's a question...

[conuly]

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....)

I bet bear ears are just easier to make than any other type, particularly bunny ears.

This somehow reminds me of a towel I had as a baby - it had a hood. Cutest thing ever, I was small enough I could wrap it around me and be completely covered. It had a whale embroidered on it.

I presumably had one like that too, since Mum made one for my doll and most of my doll's clothes were copies of items I had.
