Dora and Diego mascots

How to Choose Your Dora and Diego Costume

Explorer characters work well wherever children are the audience: nurseries, primary schools, birthday parties, shopping centre events, toy shops, libraries and family festivals. A walking Dora or Diego draws kids in immediately, and the range here goes beyond the two leads, with Babouche the monkey, Chipeur the fox and Tico the squirrel available for a full adventure crew.

Start by deciding how many characters you need. A single Dora with her backpack is enough for a photo corner, while a duo such as Dora and Diego, or Dora and Shipper, lets two performers interact and fill a stage or a parade. Several models come with the t-shirt and fuchsia or purple backpack, which makes the character recognisable from a distance.

Comfort matters because these costumes are often worn at busy daytime events. A complete costume weighs approximately 6 kg depending on the model, size and options, with the weight spread evenly for stability. Pick the size that matches the performer's height, and consider the optional built-in head fan and cooling vest for long sessions or warm weather.

Each product page lets you choose the size, adjust colours, add a logo or text and select accessories, which is handy for a school, shop or company. If you want a 2D sketch before production, you can select that option. Manufacturing generally takes around ten days plus shipping, so tell us early if your event date is fixed.
