Loonette and her dolly, Molly, love lounging on their big comfy couch reading stories, singing songs and solving some of life’s daily problems.

It’s time for some clock stretches with Loonette the Clown

The costume designer in charge of Loonette the Clown’s one of a kind look was Jane Edmondson. She dressed Loonette in fun colors and prints making her a great character for you to recreate.

You’ll need:

  • A red overall shorts jumper with black and white striped tall socks or tights and a white shirt underneath that has yellow rubber ducks on it.
  • You can buy duck appliques and attach them to the shirt instead of searching everywhere for a shirt with the ducks printed on it if you choose.
  • Next, you’ll need a pair of simple, black Mary Jane shoes.
  • For the final touches add a short dark brown curly wig and style it in pigtails.
  • Find a purple beanie cap with two holes in it or cut your own holes for the pigtails to be pulled through.
  • A red clown nose followed by some painted on freckles to your cheeks and you’re done.
  • Grab your favorite dolly and you’ve completed your Loonette the Clown costume.
