book Character fancy dress ideas - 6 months pregnant!

Hi everyone,

I work in a school and have been told I have to dress up as a book character on Thursday for World Book Day. Trouble is i'm 6 months pregnant! I'm not brilliant at sewing and can't afford to go out and buy something - any suggestions?!

:o:confused: :eek:

    the Gruffaloo....wear all brown, face paints, get a pair of large browns socks to go over your shoes and stick on some polystryne for claws and same for hands but use gloves. Stick on a tail...brown tight lightly filled with newspaper and make horns using a hairband and polystryne.

    When I was pregnant and book day came along. I went as Mrs Twit ( Roald Dahl) I had a brown smock top and dark trousers I messed up my hair and planted a few twits in. Applied some wrinkles etc.. with face paint and added some £1 rotten false teeth. Thehead got a shock when I smiled in assembly!
