Harry wears a red top and blue trousers and walks around with a bucketful of dinosaurs. Brilliant!
All you need is a red stripy jumper, or draw red stripes on to a white T-shirt. A red or white hat, and some glasses made out of cardboard would complete the look (or use some from Halloween if you had a Harry Potter outfit)
I love this idea. All you need is some old clothes – Jeans for boys or dungarees maybe, dress for girls. Put a few holes in them, some straw, use an old hat and a bit of face paint or even mud, for a dirty face.
If you’ve got a cape hanging around from a Halloween costume, this would work great with school uniform and a stripy tie. You just need some round glasses and some face paint for his scar and maybe make a wand.
Again if you have a halloween outfit, it would work perfectly well here. If you just have a cape and hat, you’ll just need to find colour matching clothes. If your child has long hair, then a plait with a bow of course. Plus you can make a simple wand with a cardboard star on the end.
Or for Bruce Bogtrotter, a school uniform and a huge chocolate cake, with a bit smeared around your child’s mouth!
Some characters like Horrid Henry, Tracy Beaker just wear normal clothes. Simply wear non-school clothes and take in your favourite book.
