World Book Day should be a day of fun, not an angst-filled scrabble for a costume. I thought it might be helpful to post some costume ideas and how to put them together. I’ve divided the videos into preschool and younger children’s costume but you could mix them up a bit. Enjoy!!
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – Roald Dahl
Other cat books are:
Gobbolino’s the Witch’s cat – Ursula Moray Williams
Wilbur from the Winnie the Witch series – Korky Paul
Kaspar, Prince of Cats – Michael Morpurgo
If you’re really strapped for time, you could ransack your dressing up box. Here’s some book suggestions for costumes you might already have at home
Fairy:
The Rainbow Magic Fairy books – Daisy Meadows
Tinkerbell from Peter Pan – J M Barry
Flower Fairies – Cecily Mary Barker
Pirate:
Treasure Island -Robert Louis Stevenson
Pirate Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs – Giles Andreae
The Night Pirates – Peter Harris
Football kit:
Billy Bonkers and the Wacky World Cup – Giles Andeae
Girls FC series – Helena Pielichaty
Horrid Henry and the Football Fiend – Francesca Simon
Teddy Bear:
Where’s my Teddy? – Jez Alborough
A Pocket For Corduroy – Don Freeman
And if you’re really desperate, you can always put them in their own clothes and tell the teachers they’re Muggles!!
