Help with Fancy Dress.

She's only been there a week or two now, so we don't know the other parents enough yet. I'm really worried about this!

Hey dont worry too much, maybe ask the teacher when you go in on monday what sort of thing theyre after, Im sure you'll feel better about it all afterwards and be a bit clearer as to what to do

Why not get a pack of dye and use a pillow case or old pyjamas and dye them yellow? You could always paint some vertical lines to show the segments?

Or even simpler, just paint a picture of a large piece of fruit on a large t-shirt (adult size) or pillow case with holes for arms and legs?

You will find that some parents will go overboard with this - costumes can become very competitive. Ignore them - some people have hours and hours (not to mention the money) to try to impress other parents!

Just had a look online to see if there any manufactured costumes (for inpiration). Here are some:

Or a simple solution may be to do a hat covered in fruit (real or made from tissue paper etc)


You will find (assuming your child has just started school and you don't know already) that schools are rather fond of having days like this at short notice.

I recall my youngest suddenly remembering 'book day' and saying she wanted to dress up as a dalmatian the night before. We improvised with a while blouse and tights and black felt pen to discover later than she had the wrong day!! She didn't mind though (strange as the rest of the school were in uniform).

Loads of great ideas - thank you so much. I will speak to her teacher on Monday and find out how long she'll be in fancy dress etc. Wouldn't like to think of her struggling to get to the loo!
