I think kids just like doing things outside the house. As far as their practical minds, I think it’s an extension of us as parents. If we raise our kids to be short-sided with a diet of cartoons and deprivation of an education on our natural world then they will take on that “cartoon” persona but if we raise scientifically inquisitive minds at a young age by introducing them to stuff like nat-geo, Dinosaur books, etc. then they will reject the ruse of costume from the onset. My kids have always loved watching cartoons but they’ve also always known it was a cartoon. The really cool part is that they’re so into science stuff now that they’re teaching me things every week, just this morning I learned bats have.... in their words “special gates inside their blood so they don’t get dizzy when they’re upside down”.
