Marty's Wardrobe late 1970's

Garanimals was born in 1972 out of the idea that there is a positive connection between how children dress and how they feel about themselves.
The kid-friendly Garanimals mix-and-match separates provide a simple, coordinated system that makes clothes easy to pair and fun to wear. The Garanimals pairing system brings creativity and independence to young children as they select their own clothes and dress themselves. Through these small, successful decisions, children develop early feelings of self-confidence.
“Garanimals...helps the pre-schooler to handle his/her own wardrobe. That sense of ‘I Can’ fosters the child’s growing sense of independence.”– Dr. Joyce Brothers

I will never forget the Garanimals! Marty had quite a wardrobe of color coordinated pants and shirts. All he had to do was match the animal on the shirt to the pants, perhaps this was where his "growing sense of Independence started?"The date on this McCall's magazine ad is Sept. 1983, I found it on the back side of a receipe I had saved from the magazine.
