15 Last Minute Costume Ideas for World Book Day

Updated on 24th February 2022 by Kate Williams | 2 Comments

world book day costume ideas last minute diy knight costume diary of a wimpy kid and peter rabbit costumesAdvert. (This is a really old sponsored post that I’ve updated with loads more ideas as while my kids have progressed through school I’ve totally failed to get myself organised for World Book Day on any occasion yet. Sorry not sorry.) There is moment of dread that most parents of school age kids have been through, that moment when you look in your child’s’ school bag and see the letter saying they have to dress up.

I’ve had it before with a few weeks notice and I’ve had it with a couple of days notice. Either way with two kids, work and their hectic social lives I always seem to end up having to think of some last minute world book day costume ideas, whether it’s the schools fault or mine!

In this post I’m sharing 15 homemade ideas for World Book Day. Some are re-purposing costumes and clothes that you might already have lurking around at home, some are one’s that require a bit more effort and some some are a mixture of the two, for example clothes you already have and a ten minute craft with some card, paint or glue.

Whatever one you go for I hope that it helps you (and of course your child!) to have the most fun and stress free World Book Day possible.

Updated on 24th February 2022 by Kate Williams | 6 Comments

Advert. No matter whether you want to buy a World Book Day costume or make one yourself, it’s one of those days that always requires a bit of preparation.

I try to get away with doing as little as possible because, well, I’m busy and I don’t want to spend hours making something, but I’m always super impressed by people who manage to make the show stopping outfits.

Of course, you don’t need to spend weeks to get your kid an outfit that is awesome so today I’m sharing some really cool DIY World Book Day costumes as well as some brilliant ones that you can buy.

DIY Roald Dahl Costumes for Kids

Updated on 24th February 2022 by Kate Williams | 5 Comments

Both my kids and I are big fans of Roald Dahl and his characters are always a really popular choice for dress up whether it’s for World Book Day or for Roald Dahl Day itself. Like a lot of parents I’m not always keen to buy yet another costume for school so these DIY Roald Dahl costumes are a great idea.

What’s more, all the images of homemade costumes I’m sharing are from actual parents that have made it themselves, not something suggested in a magazine that seems impossible when you have to make it yourself!
