Wondering if the MN brain might help me! World Book Day at my 8 year old's school this year needs her to make a prop for a book character. We have literally got today to do this! Any genius ideas???

Cardboard, foil - sword or helmet, almost any fairytale/Potteresque type book. Add jewels made of cardboard painted.

Disclosure - I'm a grandma and don't remember ever having to do this kind of shizzle.

Well what books do they like? Eg if Harry Potter just make a wand or hat? Diary of a Wimpy Kid - make a diary etc from a few pieces of paper folded in half with diary written on the front and the name of some days inside. That kind of thing?

She wants to do Hetty Feather- I thought in my head that she had a necklace or a locket or some such that we could make but can't see any mention of it?? Wondering about a circus ticket for Hetty Feather when she becomes a performer but is that rubbish??

I've just been advised that I need to buy an Alice in Wonderland costume on Amazon for Thursday.... I think not, she hasn't even read the book!
