Hooray! It's National Book Day! How Are you adressing the mindless demand to dress up as characters?

Oooh, my favourite, this one!

I was all for ignoring it this year, but Ds has become all enthusiastic and since he is missing so many of the school 'treats' atm, I a playing along.

But I am quite proud of my minimalist solution!

DS is currently glued to the Secret seven books - so he has made a SS badge, and a cardboard cut-out of Scamper. Scamper will be attached to the side of DS's wheelchair, he has a collar and lead, and DS will hold the lead so that it looks as if Scamper is running alongside!

Blu, what a fab idea.

dd1's entire school was supposed to dress up as pirates....unfortunately, Reception only got the notes asking them to dress up yesterday. In my case, somewhere around bath time

Luckily dd knows very little about pirates, and was quite happy to go in her school skirt, white t-shirt, black scarf round her head and another tied around her waist, and stripey tights.
