Help! - Dressing up day at school

Abbafan1972

Next Friday my kids school are having a Roald Dahl dress up day where you have to dress up as one of his characters.

Does anyone have any ideas what I could do? I'm not a very "crafty" sort of person.

Thanks in advance.

My little one went as Mrs Twit one year for book week and she won

It was really easy just old ripped clothes, bits of spaghetti stuck on and a walking stick.

You could go as fantastic Mr Fox, that would be quite good, make little furry ears and a tail using some tights. Or of course Willy Wonka oh that would look great.

How about adapting a pumkin halloween costume into the peach from james and the giant peach or on the same theme a witch from The Witches.

girl, just dress as a little girl carry some books = matilda
boy, dress a little bit scruffy / poor looking, cut out a golden ticket to poke out of a pocket = charlie from the chocolate factory.
