Meet the most popular Smurfs to choose the perfect Smurf costume.
The Smurfs are very short characters who look essentially alike with matching white pants and white hat, and of course blue skin.  There are some exceptions such as Papa Smurf who wears red pants and hat, and Handy Smurf who wears overalls and a brimmed hat.  They each have a characteristic which is revealed in their Smurf names.

Papa Smurf
The oldest and wisest Smurf.  He is the only Smurf who wears red.  He is a wizard and the leader of the village.  Everyone turns to Papa Smurf when problems arise.

Smurfette
Has blonde hair, wears a dress, and was the first female in the village.  The evil Gargamel created her in his laboratory using:  "Sugar and spice but nothing nice...A dram of crocodile tears...A peck of bird brain...The tip of an adder's tongue...Half a pack of lies, white, of course...The slyness of a cat...The vanity of a peacock...The chatter of a magpie...The guile of a vixen and the disposition of a shrew...And of course the hardest stone for her heart....".  He then brought her to the village to destroy the Smurfs. Papa Smurf performed "plastic smurfery" and used his magic powers to turn her into Smurfette.

Brainy Smurf
Claims to be the smartest Smurf in the village, although he usually creates more problems than he solves.  He wears large black glasses to look intelligent and his favorite saying is "Like Papa Smurf always says...."

Tailor Smurf
Makes all of the Smurfs' clothing.  He wears a tape measure around his neck and has needles stuck in his hat.

Vanity Smurf
Thinks he is the most beautiful Smurf of all.  As he looks into his mirror he says, "Aren't I the most Smurfyest Smurf you have ever seen?"

Greedy Smurf
The village cook who eats more than he can cook.  His favorite saying is, "When do we eat?  I'm starving!"

Jokey Smurf
Loves to play tricks by saying "I've got a surprise for you!"  He then tries to give a present that explodes to the other Smurfs.

Handy Smurf
The handyman of the village.  He wears a pencil behind his ear and is known for his creations.

Lazy Smurf
The laziest Smurf and falls asleep any time or anywhere.

Harmony Smurf
The Smurf Village's musician.  Although he loves to play the trumpet, no one wants to listen.

Smurf History

The Smurfs are a small group of blue fictional characters.  They were first introduced in the comic strips on October 23, 1958 by a Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford.  Culliford created the comic strip series entitled Johan and Peewit which was set in Europe during the Middle Ages.  Johan was the king's brave young page and Peewit his sidekick.  During their adventures they met tiny, blue-skinned creatures in white clothing and their leader who wore red clothing and had a white beard.  These blue Smurfs soon became a huge success with their own stories appearing in 1959.

The Smurfs live in mushroom houses in their own little village.  This village located deep in the forest is impossible to find except when led there by a Smurf.  Gargamel, the enemy,  is always trying to find the Smurf village and capture these blue creatures.  The Smurf village is led by Papa Smurf and runs based on the idea that each one has something to contribute.  In return, each Smurf receives the necessities of life without the use of money.
