Guest Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hi I need serious help as my daughters have just come home and told me that they have got to dress up as a character from a book for World Book Day. As dressing up is not a strength of mine was wondering if anyone out there has any brill ideas that they have used themselves with their own children or have seen on other children. The girls are aged 7 and 4 and are very 'girlie'! The eldest dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood last year - now that was easy but thought that I need to be a little more adventurous this year seeing as I'm not working at the moment and have all the time in the world....! Help!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at their website Rainbow magic My Emily is not sure which one to go as yet. Mind you she also likes the idea of Mona the Vampire Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Gemini, what do your daughters want to dress up as? That seems like a good starting place to me! Carol, you've always got a website! How do you do it???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 If I don't know the answer Susan I find it a challenge to find one!! Search engines can produce wonderful sites but the trick is typing in the right set of words. Can take me up to half an hour sometimes but I don't like to give up.

Guest Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 My worry is that all the staff have to dress up! I have been various odd characters over the years, including one half of Bill and Ben. This year I'm meant to be the spoon from the "dish and the spoon" verse of the cow jumped over the moon. Now I'd say that really is a challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Susan, one wants to dress up as Fizz from the Tweenies and the other one says she has so many favourite books she really can't choose!! I was Cat in the Hat last year really easy and worked well but that was before the 3rd baby at least I'm let off this year! Thanks for website Beau will take a look. Thanks for ideas so far the simplest are usually the best aren't they. Plus they have to be in the costume all day so getting to the toilet easily has to be another factor! Especially for my 4 year old!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
