I have a weird, deep-seated memory from when I lived in Norway as a child. It’s of a weird Norwegian elephant hat I got at some sort of tradition festival or park event. These hats were everywhere at the event. I don’t have contact with my parents so im trying to piece together memories of places I lived and things I did as a kid as I was moved through half a dozen countries by them and got brain injured as a pre teen so my memories of my childhood (pre-10) are very fractured, geographically mysterious and non-sequential. My sister who was killed in the same incident I got brain injured in was 11 years older and she bought me this hat I cherished. Decades have passed and i think of this memory in particular multiple times a week. I would love to know enough to find a replacement or even just learn more. Does this ring any bells for anyone that remembers the late 90s?
This would have been about 24-27 years ago. I lived in Oslo and Stavanger but Geilo and Haskell and surrounding areas are all possible as well.

Could it be a klappe-caps. A cap wich has two hands on them to make them clap. Similar to this one:

Could have been a hat just like the one you painted, and that they were sold then and there. Seems like a tourist product.
