Animal Slippers

Whether it's jungle animals or domesticated ones, more animal slippers are available than any other novelty slippers for kids. Among these are penguins, hippos, alligators, elephants, zebras, horses, cats and dogs of all sorts which all look much like stuffed animals with an opening for the foot.

Slippers resembling ballet slippers, particularly those in pink, white and black are popular choices for little girls, as well as their bigger sisters. Dora the Explorer, Bratz and Barbie slippers are all well loved, as are those fancy ones made to fit the feet of a fairy princess.
Especially for Boys
-
Slippers with college sports logos are popular choices for boys, as are those resembling footballs or basketballs. Little boys also like slippers that look like vehicles: fire trucks, race cars and trains, for example.
Safety
-
Because children often hit the ground running in the morning, slippers should always have some kind of non-slip souls to ensure safety. In addition, the slippers should fit securely enough that they don't go flying off kids' feet. Children who will be navigating stairs in slippers should probably not be wearing some of the extremely oversized type, which can be dangerous to navigate in. Slipper socks are one possible type of slipper that meets all of the safety requirements.
