On crazy hair day, kids get to sport their own clothes as well as going to school with the most colourful and strangest hair, with prizes for the best in show.
April Castillo had the best idea to try and help her daughter, four-year-old Atlantis, win the ultimate prize.
Featuring her favourite doll of Disney princess Ariel, her french-braided hair was wrapped around the figure and spray painted green to make it appear like a tail.
Her older sister Ariel Romero posted the pictures on Twitter, saying: “My sister had crazy hair day at school today and my mum was not playing games and really wanted her to win.”

The post has since gone viral, wracking up over 750,000 likes and 138,000 re-tweets, and the respect of many other creative mums.
Ariel later added that her mum was inspired to created the style for Atlantis thanks to her nautical name choices for her two daughters.
She said: “My mum did the mermaid because my name is Ariel and my sister is Atlantis which is where Ariel lives under the sea.
“We’ve grown up loving mermaid thanks to my parents.”

She also confirmed that her sister, who is only in nursery, also won the prize – warning others for when Atlantis starts school.
One Twitter user joked that they had the perfect name for the style, dubbing the look ‘The Little Merbraid’.

While this mum who became incontinent from childbirth hid her issue for YEARS, including from her own husband.
