Gekko Costume
Master your super-lizard camouflage in this heroic green PJ Masks look.
Gekko is the youngest member of the PJ Masks trio, known for his super-strength, camouflage abilities, and signature green lizard-themed suit. This costume is a massive hit for toddlers and young kids who love the Disney Junior show, but it can also be adapted for fun adult group looks. The outfit consists of a vibrant green scaled jumpsuit, a matching lizard tail, and a soft headpiece with a central crest.

How to put it together
- 1
Put on the green scaled jumpsuit over lightweight undergarments for comfort.
- 2
Attach the stuffed green lizard tail to the lower back of the jumpsuit using the built-in hook-and-loop fastener.
- 3
Pull on the green gloves, tucking the cuffs neatly under the jumpsuit sleeves.
- 4
Slip the green shoe covers over regular sneakers, securing the elastic straps underneath the soles.
- 5
Position the elbow and knee pads over the joints if they are separate accessories.
- 6
Place the Gekko mask or soft foam headpiece over the head, aligning the eye holes for clear visibility.
Makeup & hair
No hair styling is needed as the Gekko headpiece covers the top of the head. If using a face-paint alternative instead of a mask, paint a vibrant green mask shape around the eyes and forehead with dark green scale details.
