Awesome Book Week Costume Ideas PLUS a Giveaway!

Sponsored post

One of the most anticipated events in the school calendar will be upon us sooner than you think – book week!

I’ll hold my hands up and admit (as with most things) I am often guilty of leaving the book week costumes until the last minute because a) the notice to tell me about it is still in a crumpled-up ball in the bottom of my child’s school bag b) I forgot and c) um…I forgot. The resulting pre book-parade panic is nothing short of stressful, as I attempt to pull something (anything!) together at the last minute. (On the flip side, I may have also sent my youngest to her kinder dress up a week early once. Really – organisational abilities are certainly not my strong point!)

So this year, as well as marking book week clearly on my calendar Saturday 22 Aug – Friday 28th August with a big thick blue marker pen, (that even I can’t miss), I’m also getting the kids costumes in plenty of time. It’s all part of my stress-less plan, and besides that, if I sprout one more stress-induced grey hair people will start to think I’m wearing a Cruella de Vil wig…every day!

This year’s book week theme is ‘Book’s light up our world,’ and I’ve pulled together some awesome kids costume ideas for bringing your child’s favourite book characters to life.

Jolene

Jolene enjoys writing, sharing and connecting with other like-minded women online – it also gives her the perfect excuse to ignore Mount-Washmore until it threatens to bury her family in an avalanche of Skylander T-shirts and Frozen Pyjama pants. (No one ever knows where the matching top is!) Likes: Reading, cooking, sketching, dancing (preferably with a Sav Blanc in one hand), social media, and sitting down on a toilet seat that one of her children hasn’t dripped, splashed or sprayed on. Dislikes: Writing pretentious crap about herself in online bio’s and refereeing arguments amongst her offspring.
