The post Norwegian Traditional Costumes for children -the Bunad was suddenly trending on Little Scandinavian yesterday, which reminded me that I’ve lately seen some inspirational photographs on Pinterest, of children in Norwegian National costumes. Please note that this wouldn’t be complete without including the natives, the Sami. Here’s my absolute favourites!
