Popular Bubble Guppies Characters to Cosplay

Before you start, have a quick chat with your child about which character they'd like to be. Their input will ensure they're excited and engaged in the entire costume-making process.

Molly Mermaid

Molly is brave, kind, and loved by all. She's the perfect role model for little ones. To create a Molly costume:

• Find a long-sleeved green leotard or swimsuit. If you're using a swimsuit, pair it with a green or neutral-colored long-sleeved shirt.
• Add a yellow skirt or tutu. You can either buy one or make a simple one using yellow fabric and an elastic waistband.
• Create hair clips using yellow and green felt. Draw and cut out star shapes and add sticky-back felt to attach them to plain hair clips.

Gil

Gil is the brainy one in the Bubble Guppies group. His love for learning and problem-solving makes him a hit among young viewers. To create a Gil costume:

• Find a long-sleeved black top and black pants. These could be a simple black t-shirt and black leggings.
• Create a white shirt with a pocket and a pink tie using white and pink fabric. Sew on the pocket to the left side of the shirt and add the tie using safety pins or sewing it in place.
• For Gil's signature glasses, use a pair of clear or fake glasses from a dollar store and add some pink tape around the frames.

Essential Accessories for Any Bubble Guppies Cosplay

Once you've created the main costume, it's time to add the fun accessories that make a Bubble Guppies costume truly special. Here are some ideas:

armored a helmet or crown from a craft store and paint it to match your child's character. For example, a yellow crown for Molly or a black one for Gil.

• Create or purchase character-specific accessories. Examples include Gil's calculator, Deema's guitar, or Gob's magic wand.
• Make or buy fish-themed temporary tattoos or stickers to create scales or spots.

Crafting and wearing a Bubble Guppies costume can be a rewarding, creative activity for both you and your child. So, grab your supplies, put on some Bubble Guppies music, and let the festivities begin!
