Book Week 2014: Best Book Parade Costumes

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

book week 2014

With Book Week fast approaching, we got talking about the best Book Parade costumes. I asked Miss 7 what some of her favourite book characters were and which would be the most fun to dress up as. This girl loves a good excuse for fancy dress!

True to form, Miss 7’s choice for the Book Parade this year is not your standard costume. It’s also not something I’ll be able to pull together with a few props. Ho Hum. If only it were one of our favourite book parade costumes.

I suspect that given the onesies trend is still in full swing at the moment, choosing and finding book parade costumes might not be as difficult as previous years. Although I do know many parents dread book week and the late night hustle with needle and thread!

So to help you out, and to share some last-minute inspiration, we’ve chosen our favourite (and in our opinion) the best book parade costumes for Book Week. They’re a collection of our favourites based on what we’ve been reading and thoroughly enjoying lately.

Book Parade Costumes Nanny Shecando

Note: This list is the combined efforts of nanny & co. We advise that these are definitely not the best costumes as according to any such universal specifications, nor consensus. This list simply features our personal favourites that bring meaning to us and enable us to connect to reading. And I suspect that truthfully, the list says more about my own personal childhood favourites, than that of the kids.

      Ooh are you getting dress up too Lucy? The teachers at our book parade last week were very creatively kitted out in mad hatter and pepper pig costumes 🙂

    I love Paddington Bear – I used to take marmalade sandwiches to school when I was a kid because I aspired to be Paddington!
    Love the new look too!
