Book Week Costume Ideas

{The Organised Housewife} Book Week Costume Ideas

Ooh my kids have been talking about Book Week since last years Book Week.  I have to be completely honest with you, book week drives me nuts, but that’s just me, I dislike dress up parties too.  But at the end of the day, the kids love dressing up and we do enjoying making the outfits together.  Miss 11 won last year, she dressed up as a gumnut baby.

I won’t be at home this year for the kids book week parade so I need to prepare ahead of time to make sure they have everything ready.  They kids have worked out what they want to be, but have asked me not to tell so that the kids and parents at school won’t know in advance (which is fair enough).  However, I thought I would put together a few photo’s as a little inspiration for you!

This is my Miss 11, dressed up as a Gumnut baby from Snugglepot and Cuddlepie.  We purchased some green tulle to make the skirt and added some leaves made from scrap green fabric.  Added some yellow pom poms to the skirt and beanie.
