Evie as Where's Wally World Book Day 2016

I managed to talk my my long-haired 10 year old out of going as Jesus as his World Book Day character! Instead he went as Robin Hood - we died a white shirt green, made the hat out of an old pair of trousers and his dad helped him make the bow from a garden cane and some string. I think he looks great.

We decided to try and make a costume this year and it actually turned out ok so here is our attempt at Hedwig. She was over the moon.

Here's my little Gruffalo! She's such a bookworm and so excited about today. I'd love to win for her. Thank you so much for the chance x

My son Liam was planning on being Harry Potter but after a sickness bug which is doing the rounds struck on Tuesday night it meant he wasn't at school today so he has dressed up at home instead :)

NCforWorldBookDay · 03/03/2016 15:34

Regular poster but have namechanged as shared photos on personal FB as well...

DS is six and loves Harry Potter - we're halfway through the third one now. He was intrigued by the end of the second book, finding out about Lord Voldemort's past, and said he was really interesting as a character. So naturally he chose this as his costume!

He helped me make the robe and cape on the sewing machine, with his foot on top of mine. Then was wonderfully patient whilst I put his face paint on.
