The Lion King Costume Series: Baby Simba

Mom Life

Next up in my Lion King costume series is the always cute and snuggly…baby Simba!

When I was planning these costumes originally I only planned to dress Leopold as Simba…but you can’t NOT dress your squishy baby up as a lion cub when you have the chance. Am I right?!

This is another EASY DIY costume!!

Disclaimer: Primary.com sent me the clothes for these posts for free, but that does not change my honest opinions of them! Thanks Primary!

I love easy projects. As a mom, I don’t have time or patience for long, detailed, complicated creations. I need short. I need quick. And I need EASY.

I ordered a 12-18 month size in The Zip Footie (the color is Sunshine) from Primary.com. It’s definitely big on her but I wanted it a little big because don’t baby cubs just seem to have too much skin sometimes? In a cute saggy cuddly way? Plus, I may want her to wear this over Halloween in a few months!

If you are ordering PJ’s for sleeping from Primary, be sure to order true to size for safety reasons!

For Finley’s baby Simba costume, here’s what you need:

I used a darker brown (Primary didn’t have the exact gold shade of the real Simba so I had to try and find the right combo here) for the belly and paws, and a little on the ears. The black and gold are also for the ears.

I took a little risk with the headband and pipe cleaners (chenille stems?) because I wasn’t too sure I could make it work. Aside from being a bit large, I wasn’t mad about the end result!

Bonus, you could use these big ole Lion Ears on a trip to Disney as Lion King themed Mickey Ears!

For the ears, I wrapped the pipe cleaners around the headband and formed the ears, then cut out four ear shapes from the gold felt. Then two black ear shapes, slightly smaller, and two more smaller brown shapes.

For the headband I used hot glue so I didn’t waste my fabric glue. I don’t need the headband to be flexible or washable so it wasn’t a problem.

As I mentioned in my Rafiki costume post (see that HERE), you want to find a good fabric glue that has stretch and is washable! I was sold on mine because it specifically said it was good with felt.

I made Baby Simba a tail with the gold felt and a tuft of brown felt.

For the mid-section, I cut a circle out of the brown felt and then cut that down the center. I added a little overlap so it would cover the zipper but it still shows a little bit once the baby’s wearing it.

Don’t forget some cute little baby paw prints for the bottom of the footies! For the mark on her head I used…lipstick!

Catch me outside starting seeds and planning out my flower bed in my fancy new gardening overalls that I bought off a targeted Facebook ad for @duluthtradingcompany 😂😂. I don't usually buy clothes for myself and especially not when it's over $50 😅 but this is WORTH IT.  It's got so many pockets and it's so comfy and it's definitely my new weekend uniform for the foreseeable future.🌸🏵💐🌿🌻

I love taking allllll the photos when we go camping- it helps me remember all the sweet moments and eventually I forget the stressful bits, or setting up camp and breaking it down by myself, or whining and complaining 😅. I'm trying to get the kids more used to helping with the setup but it's not without a bit of "mooOooMm whyyyy" from them 🙄😂.

Do you drink ACV?? I started drinking this daily a Do you drink ACV?? I started drinking this daily after I heard a woman on the podcast I listen to (Solo cleaning school) say she drank this every day and never got sick. I know the odds are against me with 2 kids, but I've heard so many good things about Apple cider vinegar, I'm trying it! So far so good! It's hard to pinpoint exactly what I'm doing that's making me feel good- working out, vitamins, water, ACV, etc, but I'm sure it's a solid combo of a few of those 😝. Self care is fun!
