World Book Day is almost here (Thursday 6 March, people. Time to shine!).
If you’ve been blissfully unaware that it’s this week and are now panicking because your kid’s school lets them dress up as their favourite book characters and you’ve got nothing sorted in the dressing up department, never fear.
Because I am also something of a Last-Minute Larry™ (tbh I’m surprised I even remembered this year), I’ve scoured Amazon for a selection of costume ideas which won’t break the bank and are also available for next-day delivery. Phew.
From Julia Donaldson’s Gruffalo and Highway Rat characters to more traditional book stars – think The Tiger Who Came To Tea and The Very Hungry Caterpillar – here are some low-fuss costume ideas that they’ll undoubtedly want to wear again and again once Thursday has been and gone...
Perfect to recreate Room On The Broom (or any witchy-themed book).
We know it's a TV show but they also sell loads of Bluey books nowadays (our book shelves are full of them) so it's a viable option.
Best of luck!
