If your child doesn't mind face painting then you can do that too, like 10-year-old Yousef Chowdhury did here. World Book Day wouldn't be the same without Julia Donaldson's characters in the mix and this one's a very simple one to recreate. This costume is one that we made when my son was in Reception. Find a red top and blue jeans to wear, put a bit of brown paint inside a plastic bottle and a tiny bit of water, put the lid on tight and then swish it around until the inside of the bottle is covered. Write Marvelous Medicine on the outside of the bottle and you are done. BFG Costume
Start with a stripey jumper. It can be the start of many an easy costume including Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, Where's Wally, or Horrid Henry. If you want to make it even easier there are loads of free Wonka Bar printable templates online, so you don't even have to get the felt tips out. Plus you can also grab our free printable reading scavenger hunt where kids can colour in each thing as they find it in a book. And they'll be lots of opportunity to show of their creative outfits over Zoom calls on Thursday, March 8.This one was done brilliantly last year by Beau Valentine-Russell and twin sisters Emme and Belle and it's a great one if you've got a few children at the same school. Another Julia Donaldson favourite is The Scarecrows' Wedding - this could be a good option if you have two children. The clues in the name with this one. Pinch a dress off you sister, cousin or friend and you've got another one of David Walliam's iconic characters. Captain Underpants And you don't need much to make it work. A denim dress, denim shorts and tights, or dungarees will do the job. Finish it off with a red hair ribbon and a copy of the book and you're there. Also from Matilda is the character Bruce Bogtrotter - the one punished for eating the headteacher's chocolate cake by being force-fed the entire thing.

If you already have the hair and the moustache, throw in some silver hair spray to give you the aged look. 12. Sophie From BFG It's mostly school clothes you've probably already got for this one, with just shorts and white top needed.The Gingerbread House shares how to make some BFG ears. Bonus points are you can get your kids to make these so you don’t have to!
Disney characters can have some simple and easy-to-copy outfits, and most of them are based on books. David Walliams is another author whose characters are often recreated on World Book Day. One of the most popular character's is Demon Dentist. The evil character is easily recreated with an all white outfit and some fake blood, red food colouring or even ketchup! If you want to look like Veruca Salt on World Book Day, then creating a costume based on her should be very easy.Again this one's more about the accessories than the clothes themselves so you might need to get a bit crafty. Look through EVERYONE'S wardrobes. Dad's tie may make a great Penny Crayon costume and an apron could be fashioned into an Alice in Wonderland dress. Mr Fox is one more character that you might want to try out for World Book Day. The mask is likely part of the costume which will take the longest time to make. Otherwise, things should be very straightforward. You just need to cut the mask from a template and paint it with some acrylic. Mr Stink is another Walliams favourite. All you need is some old clothes, a coat that has seen better days and a 'Mr Stink for Prime Minister' handmade sign.
