DIY Catnap Costume Creation Ideas
Basic Purple Cat Construction
Creating your own Poppy Playtime Catnap requires strategic material selection and construction techniques:
Materials Needed:
- Purple fleece or velvet fabric (2-3 yards)
- Black felt for facial features
- Cardboard for structure
- White fabric paint for the moon symbol
- Elastic bands for secure fit
Step-by-Step Process:
- Create the base jumpsuit using a simple pajama pattern
- Craft the distinctive head using a cardboard foundation with fabric covering
- Add character details, including the crescent moon chest piece
- Ensure safety features with proper eye openings and ventilation

Safety Considerations for All Catnap Costumes
Visibility and Mobility
Both commercial and DIY catnap costumes require careful attention to safety:
- Eye openings must provide adequate peripheral vision
- Breathing holes ensure proper ventilation during extended wear
- Trip hazards from long tails or oversized components need addressing
- Flame-resistant materials should be prioritized for all fabric choices
Age-Appropriate Content
Consider your child's comfort level with the horror-themed Poppy Playtime character. The sinister game's mature themes may not suit all children, making the gentler sleepy cat alternative the best option for sensitive kids or family-friendly events.
Sizing & Fit
This costume is available in different toddler sizes: Medium (18-24 months), Large (2-4T), and XL (4-6). With the flexible sizing, you can find the costume that fits your little ones. But for maximum comfort, here are some tips:
-
Match the bust size to your child's chest for comfort, and check the shoulder width to ensure freedom of movement.
-
The length should provide adequate coverage without riding up during play.
-
If your kid is between sizes, opt for the larger size to allow for growth and more comfy layering.
-
For active kids, prioritize a roomier size to a comfortable fit in the shoulders and bust.
-
Have your kid try on the clothing and move around—raising arms, bending, and sitting—to ensure overall comfort in various positions.
Accessorizing the Costume
To elevate the Cat Nap Child Costume, consider adding some cute accessories! A pair of cozy black or gray ballet flats can perfectly complement the look while ensuring comfort.
Use face paint to create adorable whiskers and a tiny nose to enhance the feline theme for an extra touch of whimsy. A coordinating trick-or-treat [1] bag, perhaps shaped like a cat or in matching colors, would be a practical yet stylish addition.
If you're feeling creative, homemade enhancements can truly customize the costume! You could craft a fluffy cat collar with bells or add some DIY paw gloves using black fabric and felt.
A simple fabric tail can be easily made and attached for more flair. These personal touches will make the costume even more special for your little one!
Additional Touches
For a fun and easy face painting look featuring whiskers and a cat nose, you'll need black face paint or eyeliner, along with a small brush or sponge. Start by applying an optional base layer for a clean canvas.
Next, draw a small triangle at the tip little one side of the nose to represent the cat's nose, and add three straight lines extending from each side of the nose onto the cheeks for whiskers. For an extra touch of charm, consider adding a few light freckles or a hint of pink blush on the cheeks.
Plush Kitten Toy Recommendations
To make the costume even more realistic, why not add plush kittens, right? Here are some recommendations:
