Book Character Day/Parade – for some it brings excitement…others anxiety! I love dressing up, just give me a reason and I’m there. I wanted to share some ideas I’ve worn over the years.
You can easily adapt these ideas if you are looking for ideas for your child for the parade at school. Most of these costumes I’ve made so the cost was minimal.
The Rainbow Fish was fun BUT I suggest you watch a You Tube video to add make up scales to your face and definitely carry the book with you – many people called me a mermaid when I wasn’t holding the book.
Here you see me walking in the Book Character Day/Halloween parade dressed up as the Tree in The Giving Tree . I love how the kids want to give everyone high 5’s. It’s always so fun to see how creative everyone is each year. AF L leaf headband https://amzn.to/3Pm8T6R
