My child is size 5/6T so after reading product description I ordered size 7 and they fit everyone! I have no doubt that they will be appropriate for the entire academic year. My little one was so excited when she saw them that she put them on straight away! We have the ones with the unicorn print, the faces seem to go up and down, but on the pair I have most of the faces are up front and down back. The colors are bright! The material is normal typical leggings.
