  • this is the BIGGEST question that i get from parents with kids who are interested in the furry fandom. the answer is a little disappointing because the price tag is so high for essentially a custom made carpet that fits your exact dimensions. but there are also some fun things your children can do while they wait to become adults and stop growing.
    ALSO SAFETY-WISE... THEY'RE GONNA OVERHEAT! heat-stroke is real and fursuiters do suffer from that. it's just not a good idea all-around.
    or, you know, go become a cosplayer! cosplays are way quicker to make and cost way less on average. i was a cosplayer for 16 years before i got a fursuit and it was plenty of fun!

    I’m a younger furry and I would love to commission someone someday for a mini partial, but it’s still so expensive 0-0… I made a fursuit head and paws for halloween and it was pretty fun! I couldn’t sew anything so I hot glued fabric to my foam base, but it turned out ok for my first time. For any parents reading my comment, just getting some half inch foam, various fabrics, and a hot glue gun to make a head is a good start :) it’s not extremely expensive and your kid can get crafty

    hey! I'm a 17-year-old, and I've been in the fandom since I was 12, and I just wanted to quickly talk about my experience as a younger fur. my dad was incredibly supportive on top of taking me to conventions and encouraging my creativity he also bought me a fursuit at 14! after seeing how much I saw begging for a suit and after I did enough chores to at least cover half, he let me go on fur buy, and I picked out a pre-owned suit for 300$. this was a birthday gift and I love them to this day. (and yes I did do a big refurb on them a couple months ago lol.) I never out-grew the suit and it actually fits me better now. not saying every parent can or should do this but this was an awesome gift from my dad. and now that I'm older I'm a fursuit maker and plan to go into film and TV production and costumes!

"they go around in summer in fullbody animal costumes, roleplaying. they take it too seriously." which honestly, is a pretty good description (WHY IN JULY?), but it was a bit passive aggressive- as a person who took roleplaying too seriously, loved dressing up as an animal and was an introvert, i immediately fell in love-

    As a parent fur, dino masks are also great alternatives! I have a 12 year old daughter who's also a furry and she uses a dino mask, their really cheap and you can adjust them if they get too tight, too loose, etc. I've let her wear my suit a couple times and she's decided she wants a suit too but since she's still growing, I just handed her a dino mask from Target and she's been obsessed with it ever since.

    When I was 13 and in middle school there was a girl I knew that got a FULL digi suit. She wore it for Halloween, and while that was super cool I realize now that she must've grown out of that QUICK. I feel bad tbh.
    I'm very lucky to have stopped growing at 15 (I'm short forever rip), and I'm lucky to have a job where I'll save enough money so I can commission a suit in the spring! By that time I'll be almost an adult (17), so I think that'll be fine for at least me ^^ but still, everything you said stands! Patience is key, kids!

    As somebody who actually puts a maximum amount of effort into anything, i can assure you that if you don’t want a fursuit (meaning don’t want the expensive crap) then a mask is definitely the way to go. Even so, making a mask that goes on the front of your face and simply carving the muzzle and ears and such out of foam, this can be applied to the mask and can be made into a mini fursuit head! i definitely think it’s a really cute way to introduce yourself to the fandom, and it stands as baby steps to making and or purchasing a real one.

      Sorry one more piece of advice. Cut UNDER the fur only cutting the fabric part not cutting with the scissors going over all of it. So slide the top part of the scissors between the fur sticking out and the fabric part. Will save you hair going everywhere AND it will flow nicer

    I wonder if you can specialize a mini partial for a growing child? Remove pads as they grow. Or copy the cardboard Panda idea in Turning red. Instead of a red panda, it's your fursona. Similar to the paper mask, but a little more durable. 😊

    Also when getting commissions done it's important that you do a bit of research into the person that's doing the commission cause it's easy for them to draw or show you what it might look like versus the final product and you wan to have really good communication with the creator for updates on the design if they can't do that then its not a good idea to have them make you something cause you don't know what your getting back. ((lil off topic but seeing a lot of people talking about suff like that...prolly why it's best to craft your own if you can))

    While, I'm not gonna get/make a full suit yet (due it being my first and wanting to see if I like suiting first) do you think getting/makeing a partial or mini partial would be okay?

    I think this is a very good idea for kids who like the idea of dressing up in a lil fursona or animal. It's similar to simple plate mask only upgraded and still pretty easy. This is a very good option along with maybe gentle easy to wash face paint that I have seen kids wear at fairs and stuff. Plus the design can double like you said as a decoration I might make one just to have as a display. The one you made is actually pretty cute.

    I have seen some cheap furry heads at wal-mart. They're about 20$. They come in fox and in wolf. Now they aren't amazing and you might have to do some editing, but if you have some crafting skills it could be a nice base. Even if you don't you can do some small tweaks to it and make it look amazing. Like with mine I combed the fur to make it look nice cause it was kinda all over the place. I also took some fake stick on mustaches and cut one in half to make eye brows. Then wear some pants, a long speed?

    Some more things you can do
    Since Dino masks are adjustable, you can add foam and then it into a base.
    If you really want a fursuit, make one of your fursona out of cardboard! Recommended doing protogens as a “test” to make sure the cardboard you’re using is useable
    Make ones like paper dragons but bigger so you can wear it as a mask and having a moving jaw.
    ****wouldnt recommend wearing cardboard or paper masks for long periods of time as the moisture of breathing and sweating can sometimes Cause molding****

    As a younger furry, if you really want a fursuit really badly- get a partial!
    Just get the head, paws, feet, and tail!
    Get a normal sized adult head
    1. because you’ll grow into it 2. your hair might be enough space if your hair is long or poofy 3. child (12 or up) heads are usually big enough anyways 4. even if its a bit loose, it still works well and wont fall off as long as you tighten with belts and zipties!
    Get paws that fit your hands!
    Your hands do grow- yes, but they are very easy to buy more since they aren’t extremely expensive like fursuit heads, and easy to commission for minors anyways! Hands don’t grow as much as the rest of your body, so you have a while!
    Same for feet!
    Unless you grow a foot each year or something (😂) , buying tails is no issue. Even if you do grow and the tail isnt as big as you’d like, you can commission more since they are easy to commission- and if you cant, small tails are adorable too and nobody will notice the difference!
