Knott's Berry Farm Peanuts Celebration Character Bounding Ideas

Peanuts Celebration Character Bounding Ideas

The Peanuts Celebration is coming to Knott’s Berry Farm weekends, January 25th - March 1st, as well as February 10th, 14th, and 17th, 2020 and is the perfect time to bound as your favorite Peanuts Gang character. Check out how my girl plans to go as her favorite Beagle Snoopy and his alter ego Ace! With the right colors and a few simple accessories you can achieve a bounding look of your favorite Peanuts character during your visit and maybe even snag that perfect twinning photo with them!

What is bounding? This is a term that was coined for another park, it’s basically wearing clothing that recreates the colors of your favorite character without actually wearing a “costume” and is favored by adults since some parks have age restriction regarding costumes. Using the color of Snoopy’s dog house as part of our bounding inspired look and accessories he wore as Ace, we were able to pull this look together with very little effort. We had a few of the items on hand already like a red 50’s circle skirt (to represent his dog house) and a white top. We completed the look by added the Aviator goggles, a red scarf, and a cute Aviator cap. Super easy right?

Check out the rest of the Peanuts Gang, you can achieve their looks by simply color blocking separates, using solid colored shirts and adding the stripes with fabric paint or with a 1 piece dress. That’s the great thing about bounding as your favorite Peanuts character, it can be done without purchasing a costume or special items and bounding as you or your kids favorite character makes a visit to the farm all the more fun and interactive!

Bounding as Woodstock is super easy with this bright yellow 50’s inspired dress, matching headband and cute retro wicker purse to serve as a nest.
