A classic that always goes down well! If you have a stripy top, a bobble hat and a pair of glasses then you can spend all day standing around with no one being able to find you. Maybe not...but it’s a pretty easy costume. via GIPHY
Dress all in black and make a tall red and white hat from paper or card. If you’re feeling extra enthusiastic, a cat nose and whiskers painted on with eyeliner will complete the feline look. via GIPHY
Carry around a 50p piece or cut a large one out of card. Just make sure it has a picture of the queen on it and you have a super easy World Book Day costume!
If you happen to be the kind of person who has yellow leggings and t-shirts lying around, then Beegu might be a good option for you! Just dress all in yellow and make some long, floppy yellow ears from card.
All you need to transform yourself into Charlie is a great big golden ticket to hang around your neck. Grab a big piece of yellow paper and write out your very own invitation to visit Willy Wonka! via GIPHY
