world book day coming up... dc's have to dress up for school... ideas for costumes here!

[SnappyVelour]

i wanted max from the wild things... but cant find anywhere. am on the lookout for white fleecy allinone suits with hoods so i can 'make' one...

other than that, theres the cat in the hat

various animals here

this looks like Mog from mogs bad thing

the big bad mouse from the gruffalo

any other ideas?

I want to send DS2 in as Captain Underpants.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) they don't do dressing up for World Book Day at their school

oh thats a good one. v v good. mine are too little for captain underpants just yet, but he'll keep!

last willy wonka (ds1 had lovely long hair at the time) but a johnny depp version rather than original and the wicked witch of the west (painting ds2 green at 6AM)

You want the Badger. She's the bollocks at this. DS1 had to go in on Friday as something from Handa's Surprise and I was expecting to have to buy a bleedin giraffe costume from somewhere, but MrsB sorted me out very quickly.

v impressive persephonesnape !

shouldve known the badger would be good at this, really. so what was the solution PW?

made a very tall paper hat painted with giraffe spots (to be the neck), drew 2 giraffe profiles, stapled them to top of his hat, gave him a pineapple to carry. Dressed him in brown jogging bottoms and orange shirt.

Easy - plus dp and I had fun with paints and scissors and glue.

marvellous.

i want to make them look cute and silly and funny. this is my right as the Person Who Bore them, i feel.
