The Classic Nativity Animals: The Mule and the Ox

An ox costume is a versatile choice that combines charm, comfort and a traditional countryside touch, making it perfect for both nativity plays and fancy dress events.

Children’s Ox Costume: A Favourite with Little Ones

A children’s ox costume is full of charm and character. Made from soft fabrics and featuring details such as ears, horns and a tail, it allows children to enjoy themselves while staying comfortable and free to move around. It is a popular choice for school nativity performances as well as children’s fancy dress events, where farm animals are often among the stars of the show.
