You’re the most loyal fan in the world! You cheer for those 4 year olds no matter how cold it gets or how bad they are at kicking the ball into the goal. Whether you’re cheering for your kid’s soccer team, your alma mater, or the Super Bowl champions, do it in the Superfan Scarf.

The good news… when my son was in 3rd grade, his class did a super fun & educational science unit on crayfish.
