For a World Book Day that’s less-than-ordinary, and perhaps slightly emptier pockets than usual, what better time to do-it-yourself?
Emma’s school will have its first World Book Day this year so I will need to come up with something for her. Every year, the number of children receiving the WBD token grows significantly and the event now encompasses several new initiatives such as ‘Books for Hospitals’, ‘Quick Reads Initiative’ (for adult readers), and ‘Spread the Word’. For this reason, the characters are great options to dress up as for fancy-dress parties or for World Book Day at school and nursery.Bonus props: a brown leather satchel, a fingerless black glove on the left hand, and a net full of large round balls of kitchen foil (shot puts). I used a pair of pirate trousers, cut a raggedy edge and sewed some patches on an old T-Shirt and upcycled some elf ears into BFG ears by sewing them onto a headband. If your little one loves sheep then you could recreate this look with some white card, felt sheets, elastic, and cotton wool or cushion stuffing. Top tip: mark on the wall using a pencil or place a book (or another flat object) where the top of your head meets the wall, then, measure from that point to the floor to get your height!

Usually I am incredibly unorganised regarding school things, but as we’ve had a quiet half term I thought I’d get ahead with our World Book Day costumes.
But before you even bother making a new costume, could last year's Halloween costume be used in some way? Matilda's chubby, cake-snaffling classmate mate makes a brilliant and funny costume for your little Roald Dahl fan on World Book Day. For this one, we used a blue dress and cardigan from Marks and Spencer, justifying the cost with them both being something she will wear again, and added red hairband and long white socks we already had as well as a stack of books. John Lewis also do the kids’ tights we recommended for Matilda's costume in bottle green, which is exactly what any little Miss Trunchbull needs to complete their costume.If your little one is just like Lavender, why not recreate the look with items of clothing that can be worn again and again?
