Warning: This one is something of a project, and not a great choice if you're short on time or can't sew. Or maybe you’ve got some school-aged children and thanks to all their extra-curricular activities, their lost PE kit and the reminder for the dog’s booster injections, World Book Day slipped off your radar? An animal hoodie, a piece of cardboard and some paint is pretty much all you need to make this Dear Zoo costume.If you're after a super simple idea, you can't go wrong with a DIY witch's hat and some black clothes – check out this YouTube video below to find out how to make one out of black card. Based on Curious George's Ted Shackleford (better known as The Man With the Yellow Hat), this happy and bright costume will certainly bring a few smiles on World Book Day. All you need to make is a hat and then jazz them up with some bright clothes and a jacket before sending them on their way. For this cute costume, simply sew some black felt onto an old white hoody to create Dalmatian spots and doggy ears.

If your little one loves comics and superheroes, a Superman costume would be an amazing choice for World Book Day. Where's Wally — All you need for this look is a pair of unwanted glasses, a red and white striped top, a bobble hat (ideally in white) and a pair of blue trousers or jeans. While some fancy dress themes like pirates or witches or fairies crop up in lots of different fairy tales.It’s a sweet tale; I’m not sure that my eldest ‘gets’ the underlying message, but she enjoys the colourful pictures and humour.

I thought I could make a tabard sort of thing – a piece for the back, a piece for the front, and two tabs at the sides holding it together, but….

With all it’s little legs, eyes and antenna headpiece, your little one will be eating their way through World Book Day in no time. Louise made sure there was plenty of room in the outfit so her son can wear it again next year and you may even spot a brightly-coloured Max around town this summer. Simply attach circles cut from green card together to transform your child into a Very Hungry Caterpillar. Whether your kids love the classic Beatrix Potter books or have come to Peter later via the films and TV show, Peter is a great choice for world book day. We're not sure if this is universal, but cats (and dressing up as cats, and pretending we're cats) are big news for my 6-year-old and her friends.
