Child's 1950s Novelty Print Apron - Adorable Cat & Mouse Print 50s Smock Painting Top with Bug Insects - Red Blue Green Yellow - Size 4 to 6

This 1950s novelty print child's smock is so adorable, showing mice friends with building blocks, a sunny chalkboard, cute bugs flitting about... even pre-printed "paint splotches" in trompe l'oeil effect! This rectangular cotton panel has two bound armholes in a simplistic design, meant to be worn around the body, and likely pinned or clipped at back neck. Notice what the blocks are spelling out... "GATO"... :)
