Children and national costumes

[sofiya]

I think that it is very nice of parents to get traditional outfits for their children. Kids look charming in folk costumes. And cultural education of children is a really important thing for the future of the world. It helps to raise intelligent, educated and culturally developed people.
I met this boy and his parents at the 23rd Annual Charity Bazaar in Kyiv, Ukraine. He wears the cutest lederhosen I’ve ever seen.
