DIY Sparkly Fish Costume
A simple yet effective costume, this costume is perfect for little ones who love the colours and inspiration of a special sparkly fish. Use fabric, elastic and needle and thread you can find at Spotlight to create this charming and cute costume.
DIY Possum or Animal Costume
Masks instantly transform anyone into a new character as they are an easily identifiable accessory, and sometimes a mask is all a child can tolerate. Create a possum mask to dress your child up as Hush from Mem Fox's classic picture book 'Possum Magic'. This addition to your child's outfit will have them participating in Book Week with ease. Involve your child in your DIY creation and create this costume by checking out our Kids Felt Mask Project.
Pair this costume by packing classic Australian snacks such as vegemite sandwiches and ANZAC biscuits for your child to take to childcare or kindergarten. This costume allows you to teach your child about native Australian animals while also offering them a creative activity to participate in.
DIY Pug Costume
Transform into a cuddly pug dog with this simple and fun Pug costume project. This project requires an adult to sew and put together, but toddlers can help with doing a little gluing and cutting! Discover the Pug costume template in the link below.
DIY Red Fairytale Girl Costume
An easy costume to throw over the regular clothes, this DIY creation will have your child ready for book week in no time. Simply create, cut and sew a cape using red fabric. Tailor the length to the preference of your child, ensuring it's not too long for them to walk freely. Complete the cape by sewing red ribbon to allow your child to easily tie and untie the cape around themselves throughout their day.
Wear the red cape with a plain red dress to complete the look! This costume is a great opportunity to introduce your child to classic fairytales and the educational lessons they teach.
DIY Dalmatians Costume
A simple yet effective costume, this costume can also work for a group of kids! Have your child trace out small black circles of felt using fabric markers. A handy tip is to have your child practise drawing circles on a piece of paper. Ensure a responsible adult cuts these circles out using fabric scissors. Sew the fabric circles onto a white shirt or dress for an easy DIY Dalmatian costume.
You may also use the leftover felt to create dog ears to glue to a headband for the perfect finishing touch to your child's Book Week look.
