The World Book Day is held on the 1st of March every year. The day is meant for kids and adults alike. The day is characterized by the wearing of Book Day costumes and by the sharing of book stories. Book Day parties are usually themed and you should therefore consider the theme of the party you are attending when selecting the costume to wear. The theme could call for historic costumes. You could go for a medieval costume such as one depicting the Battle of Hastings for your boys. You could go for a Roman costume.
Romans were great inventors, politicians and soldiers and your child will feel like he/she is one of the greats. Your daughter could dress up as a goddess. You could go for a World War II costume where your child could dress up as an evacuee. You could go for modern character costumes such as Alice in Wonderland costumes. Although this is an old story that was written in 1865, there is a modern film adaptation that gives a new take on the characters. Your daughter could dress up as a Disney Princess.
Walt Disney has many stories and lovable characters and your daughter could dress up as her favorite princess. You could go for folklore and fairy tale Book Day costumes. Your daughter can dress up as Red Riding Hood who is the little girl in the story of the big bad wolf. One of the most famous folklore characters is Robin Hood and your boy can dress up as him.
