Be sure to check out our full list of tips to get more brilliant - and super simple - ideas for your World Book Day costumes.

From Matilda and The BFG to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, here are 26 easy costume ideas for your kids – ideal for World Book Day and they'll come in handy if your school's doing Roald Dahl Day, too! It’s time for you to let you child’s imagination run wild amongst the stack of classic novels, this World Book Day!If you’re little one is now in nursery you may be preparing for your first ever World Book Day and perhaps be wondering what kind of costume they should wear. If you want to attempt an easier version, cut a tree shape out of a large piece of card and paint it brown for your child to carry. You may already have one lying around the house from previous parties or Halloween, so pull it out again for World Book Day. I did look for pics of Abi in her Elmer outfit but haven’t found any yet, I think I need to do a bit of organising, the trouble is crochet and sewing are much more interesting! Dress as Harry or Hermione with our character outfits or represent your house with a robe and costume set to really show off your school spirit.

We’ve got quite the selection of costumes from Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate factory, including Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, an Oompa Loompa, Violet Beauregarde, Augustus Gloop and a Wonka bar itself! Plus, don't forget Mr Stink's iconic black glasses and raggedy grey beard, which you can recreate using face paint.Using an old orange t-shirt and a makeshift sword, this costume is nice and easy to put together at home.

It’s one of my little girl’s favourite stories right now so I think this is what she’ll be wearing on World Book day (and probably for trips to the supermarket too).Turning off the personalized advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.

This is a Homemade World Book Day idea I've tried myself when short of time so I can personally vouch for how easy it is to make.Similar to making a patchwork quilt, you could sew together old baby clothes to make this colourful costume even more memorable. A passion for reading can be built from an early age as the books that shape your childhood are likely to be remembered forever.
