World Book Day is coming! 📚

Let's get ready for World Book Day - Thursday 7th March

World Book Day is fast approaching! It is not just about the joy of reading but also celebrating the magic of imagination. Whether your little one is at home or in nursery, there's a world of dressing up happening.

Here are our top tips for sustainable dress-up that sparks a love for literature:

Don't Buy New: Take a look in your child's wardrobe for pieces that resemble their favourite book characters. Sustainable and budget-friendly!

Share and Swap: Ask your Mum friends and close by family to exchange costumes. It's an eco-friendly way to ensure different characters are brought to life each year.

Get the crafts out: A scarf, a hat, or even a cardboard prop can transform an everyday outfit into a character from a beloved story and the kids will love getting involved.

Now, for some quick and easy book character ideas you can create from your child's wardrobe:

1. Chatterbox Bear - This bestselling book written and illustrated by Pippa Curnick is a great World Book Day option - Yellow top, white leggings, a rubber ring (optional) and a homemade eyebrow stick.
2. Peter Rabbit - Blue denim jacket, bunny ears and a carrot.
3. Where's Wally? A striped red and white top, blue jeans or leggings, and a beanie.
