World Book Day fancy dress

MrsDux

My son's nursery are celebrating world book day on Thursday and are asking all the children to dress as a character from their favourite book. Now he is only 7 months old so doesn't really have a 'favourite' book (well he does but no one else would know it), so I need to think of something that will be obvious (as he can't tell people who he is) and that he's happy to wear all day.

Does anyone have any ideas for a cheap and easy costume?

:beer:

What about his favourite nursery rhyme? What is that?

Row row the boat or wind the bobbin up!
He also likes humpty dumpty or hey diddle diddle.

What would be easiest is to nip into mothercare or similar or even look on ebay and get a pooh bear/piglet/tigger babygrow. My daughter had a couple and they weren't too expensive.

I sent my son (called Jack) with a bag of dried beans and he was Jack and the beanstalk.

As other posters have mentioned, when babe is this young it is difficult. you may be better to dress him in a top/outfit that has a book character on it already. Thomas the Tank, Noddy etc. There is plenty of time when you'll have to do fancy dress in the future (believe me...after a couple of years you'll have a whole ream of outfits ready for any occasion!) so don't go mad at this young age. I'm sure no one will be expecting your little one to get that dressed up!

aaagh!Dont know how I could of forgot but I have.
My 6 year old has to dress up tomorrow as a character out of a book.
I'm tearing my hair out as hes just reminded me and the shops have closed.
I had thought of pinochio but another parent is doing that.
Could any kind folk help me out with ideas of anything I could quickly create at home tonight.
Much appreciated.

My DS (aged 7) is going as Harry Potter - white shirt, stripy tie, dark pullover and trousers, and a black cape previously used as a Halloween costume (but could perhaps be created from a spare piece of black material if you have it, or done without. If you had the other clothes maybe make a Hogworts logo to stick onto the jumper so people get the hint?

My son is going as somehting out of Star wars. Dark Top, dark pants, wellies to act as boots, lightsaber and face paint for grey beard and grey hair. Cannot remmeber who it is now but not darf vader.

Could do harry potter with dark clothes, cloak and glassses but bet soembody else is that.

Could do James, the little boy out of the Snow Man, have you got any of the old style PJs, slippers a hat, gloves etc. easy.

My son went as Aragorn - we made a sword (cardboard and tin foil) and he wore brown/green clothes and a sash (made from a bag strap).
