There is nothing cuter than seeing kids in animal costumes and a toddler as a bear, frog, monkey, dinosaur, is just too adorable. Babies often get dressed up by their parents as animals and while the babies might not know what is going on, they do love getting all the attention. Toddlers, when it comes to dress up parties for friends or dress up parties at nursery school, also love waddling in as whatever is their favourite animal of choice, which can often be a puppy, dog, cat or kitten. The best place to buy dress up costumes for babies, toddlers, kids or teens, is an online dress up store where the choice is really big, or you might have a store down the road from you too.

It might be a new thing having 100 days of school costume but it really is a wonderful thing. Children love the idea of getting all dressed up in fancy dress costumes but did you know that it is actually a healthy thing for them to do? Dressing up inspires children’s creativity and imagination. It gets them thinking in an imaginative way, thinking of books, thinking of film, thinking of nature. It gets them thinking of what their favourite things are. Do they want to dress up as a famous poet, which shows an interest in poetry, or do they want to dress up as their favourite author or as their favourite book character? This is great as it shows an interest in books and reading and writing too. Do they want to dress up as nature or as something in the environment, which shows they are interested in their environment and even, they are aware of the challenges that our world faces. Do they want to dress up as a country, a flag, or something geographical? You can see the options are endless.

Fifties was the era of rock and roll and a 50s costume is such a great idea for a themed fancy dress party. Adults in particular will like this type of party. The costumes are really easy to design and a 50s party is really loads of fun to plan. The 50s were about dancing, wide skirts for women, turn up pants for men, lovely hairstyles, cat eyeglasses, aprons, jelly, shoes and socks and of course, wonderful music. Women looked prim and proper but always had a tinkle in their eye, their shirts were well fitted and even sexy, and men looked dapper. Milkshakes were big, as were big bowls of punch, and everyone loved the polaroid camera. You can decorate the table with old fashioned crockery and cutlery, buy plates and cups online that are fifties theme, and use colours like pink and blue. If you can play music on a record player, or get a DJ who can play vinyl, even better.

The fifties and diners

The diner becomes a thing in the fifties and the costumes often feature the kind of clothing that

Maverick tries to pick up a lady in the recruit’s local bar early in the film. The woman turns out to be a Top gun instructor who does not date students but he goes ahead to pursue her.

Reading is such a gift. Encourage your child to read. Buy or make a book week costume for your child, but don’t just buy or make any costume. Talk to your children about their favourite books and their favourite characters. Read books to them, or with them, and see who they love and who they would love to dress up as. Remember, they don’t only have to choose one character as you can easily make more than one book costume, and you can also order them online. Your kids will always use them. Once they have chosen a favourite character, think about what that character looks like and what it would take to make a costume that is recognisable as that person. Alice in Wonderland is an easy one, and Pippi Longstocking is another easy one, but it could be Sherlock Holmes or a cartoon character or a superhero, anything really. Embrace the character, embrace the book and get behind it with your child.

Book week is about reading and having fun

Reading should never be forced on anyone, rather, encouraged.
