Book Week. It’s a bit like Vegemite .. you love it or you hate. And for time-poor mums, it’s most likely the latter. Not that we don’t enjoy helping our little ones dress-up as their favourite fictional character, but who has the time?
Hopefully we can encourage you to get into the spirit of things and join your kids in celebrating this annual celebration of books with our cheap and easy Book Week costume ideas.
Note: There are themes for each year. For 2019 it is ‘Reading is my super power’ but don’t get too caught up with it. Just let your child choose their favourite character, and pray that it’s one with an easy costume!
