Collegeville Costumes for the "Wee Folk"

"Wee Folk" is one of those expressions that sound weirder and weirder the more times you say it. Go ahead, try!
Safe to say that putting a small child wearing one of these in the middle of a busy intersection will build traffic.
There's only one choice to make in the Tiny Tots section. Choose wisely and terrify the rest of your nursery school group, or choose to grow up to be a Furry. Well, I guess you can always choose Casper to express your true and sincere desire to reach out to your fellow sentient beings (ghostly or not) and get beaten up for your naive gesture. It's your call, kiddo.

Collegeville Costume Catalog 1966

To get this bit of folly off to a rousing start, here's the front cover of the 1966 Collegeville Costume catalog. I am planning on posting the entire catalog, but might stretch it out a bit. Since this is the coolest thing I own, it may also be the only thing I ever post.

We'll see...
