From Mr Men and Little Miss, to Dr. Seuss and Disney – you may find the perfect costume for your kids. So, leave the school uniform at home and let’s get creative!<\/p>\n

1. Cat in the Hat<\/h3>\n

A Dr. Seuss character that is easily recognisable! All you need is a black and white onesie, a red and white striped hat, white gloves and face paint! If you can’t find a red and white striped hat, you can make your own using red and white coloured felt and purchase a top hat! Then alternate with the colours until the hat’s complete.<\/p>\n

Using the face paint, colour the face white (or you can leave the base paint) and just paint on the whiskers and the nose!<\/p>\n

Don’t forget the big, red bow!<\/p>\n

2. The Little Red Riding Hood<\/h3>\n

Another traditional kids’ fictional character that is simple to adopt as your own World Book Day costume!<\/p>\n

All you need is a white dress, a red cape and a little basket to complete the outfit. You could maybe even add some treats in there for your child to share (if they’d like to!).<\/p>\n

3. Paddington Bear<\/h3>\n

Everyone knows and adores this lovable marmalade-eating bear! And it’s quite simple to dress up like him too. All you need is a blue raincoat (or a blue dress if you can’t find a raincoat), a red hat and some bear ears!<\/p>\n

If you’re feeling creative, you can make a small suitcase out of a cardboard box or bring marmalade sandwiches in a brown paper bag!<\/p>\n

4. A Mr Men or Little Miss Character<\/h3>\n

This can be either really simple or you can get creative with it! If you choose to do Mr Strong, you can paint a cardboard box red (that can fit over your child), don’t forget to paint his face on the front-facing side! Then your child can wear a red long-sleeved T-shirt and red bottoms, with a green hat!<\/p>\n

There you have a brilliant idea that is both creative and recognisable! And if you already have red everyday clothes, then there’s no need to go out and buy some.<\/p>\n<\/div>
