Smurfs have been around since the late 1950s. I mean, for the sake of argument, we could say it is the 70s, and a German relative sent over a Smurf costume for the kid. It's not likely, but...you never know. ;)

that's all fair but I happen to know that costume was licensed from the TV show.

Yep, I used to walk up to out local drugstore (outside St Louis, MO) and they had a rack of them (Smurf figurines) for sale. This was 78-early 80 as we moved from there in mid 80.

I’m guessing the teacher provided these costumes, given the uniform nature of them
