Unique World Book Day Costumes for Kids

We contacted Fundelia our go-to online store for everything fancy dress and pitched the idea to create this wonderful World Book Day blog post. I am so excited. My husband took some amazing photos. Sylvia and her friend did wonderfully and had so much fun and now they have a large variety of costumes to choose from when they need to go to school in fancy dress.

I find the children at school can really compete when it comes to going to school in a great costume. They all want to be different and the more unique the better. So here are some fabulous ideas for World Book Day this year. We sure hope you enjoy reading our post.

Gladriel from The Hobbit 

This is a fabulous costume and Sylvia really loved dressing up as Gladriel. In fact, she wanted to wear this again the next day and scooter up and down the street pretending to be the Lady Of Lorien. This costume is a white dress and has silver accents, white gauze, and a lovely headpiece. RRP £31.99

The Cat In The Hat 

We love Dr. Seuss and especially the book The Cat In The Hat. In fact, we have a whole section dedicated to fun learning ideas for Dr. Seuss over on our craft blog, Craft, Play learn and this brilliant Cat In the hat costume is a perfect World Book Day outfit.

This set comes with a cat in the hat bib and bow, a stripy red and white hat and furry white gloves. It is fantastic and only costs £11.14

Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood is a fantastic costume for World Book Day. This is a classic which I loved as a child and my daughter’s favourite costume this year. The dress comes with a red cape and Sylvia loved wearing this and pretending to be Red Riding hood in the woods. This woodland costume costs £17.99.

The Queen of Hearts

We really love the story Alice in Wonderland and Sylvia really enjoyed dressing up in this Queen of hearts costume.  This fun dress is perfect for World Book Day. There are a few variations of this costume at Funidelia and this dress is on sale for £7.95

The Fantastic Mr. Fox

This is the perfect costume for the Roald Dahl book The Fantastic Mr. Fox. In fact, this costume could be used for a number of books and could even be used as a wolf costume in Red riding hood or The Three Little Pigs. Sylvia loved this costume as did her friend and it is a great buy at only £11.97

We have loved testing out these fancy dress costumes from Funidelia and in the coming weeks will be sharing photo shoots for each costume in our Sylvia’s Style category of the blog. It’s going to be a lot of fun. You can also look out for the costumes on our Instagram feed.  Which World Book Day costume would your child like to wear?

  1. My son is almost 2 so we are just getting to a point where he really enjoys me reading to him. I didn’t even know World Book Day existed! these costumes are so great because you can also wear them for Halloween.

    1. That’s so exciting. I remember when my daughter dressed as a cute pumpkin one day and it was so super cute. She was only 18 months. I bet your son will look lovely in a mini outfit.
