This is my son Cam, he loves knights and books about knights and wanted a costume, I said yes but only if we could keep it under £5. The answer was to make it ourselves and we had great fun together doing it. We used felt, card, foil, foil cupcake cases and a whole load of sequin foil. It cost just under £4 to make. We just need to make a sword and shield now.

The tin man from The Wizard of Oz. Cardboard and tin foil!!

My son Jack as Max in where the wild things are. I made the outfit myself, and then we re-used it for a 'wild rumpus' birthday party a couple of weeks later.

an extra pic of Jack/Max blowing a horn to summon the wild things made from a ferret skin (nice.....) - just shows the tail a bit better! and the mud.....

For homeschool, the whole family got involved in recreating "We're Going On A Bear Hunt".

Here is my little boy's Pirate outfit I have made for his World Book Day at school on Thursday. We were inspired by The Troll by Julia Donaldson.

Our very own Harry Potter loves practising his spelling (as he calls it)!

I'm still working on tomorrow's costumes (arghhh) but here are my two from last year, homemade Zog and not so homemade Mr Tickle :)

Here is my son at World Book Day today as Flat Stanley. I was up until 2.30 this morning and spent a fortune in Hobby Craft, he did win his year prize though so it was all worth it in the end I suppose!

My daughter's school had their dress-up day yesterday. She was Dick Turpin from Horrible Histories: Gorgeous Georgians

there are some wonderful genius costumes!

I might have to complain to the Goddess of the Round-up about me not being in it for WBD costumes ideas.
surely if anyone should be in the WBD roundup it should be me?

The beast from (Beauty and the...) Half way through the day he transformed into the prince!
