World Book Day costumes for brothers & sisters

If you’ve got two children who are celebrating World Book Day this year, what a wonderful opportunity to put together a group costume!

There are so many legendary pairings to choose from. Willy Wonka and Charlie Bucket, Matilda and Miss Trunchbull –  the list of brilliant book character duos goes on!
If you’re looking for inspiration, take a look through our World Book Day costume ideas for brothers and sisters.

Where's Wally and Wenda

First up is Where’s Wally! An easy and instantly recognisable costume, this World Book Day costume idea works great for two!

How about dressing one child as Wally and the other as Wenda?

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory

If your children are fans of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, how about dressing them up as Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka? With the release of Wonka, the chocolatier has never been more popular!

You could even add to the group with our Golden Ticket costume!

Mad Hatter and alice in wonderland world book day sibling idea

Alice in Wonderland

Imagine how cute your children will look dressed as Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter!

Alice in Wonderland has so many wonderful characters to dress up as but these ones are particularly quick, easy and instantly recognisable. We even have a tutorial for Mad Hatter face paint that evokes Johnny Depp’s version of the character!

Wizard of Oz World Book Day fancy dress

The Wizard of Oz

Most people forget that The Wizard of Oz was a book before it was a famous film, and that it’s a brilliant World Book Day costume idea.

How about dressing one child up as Dorothy and the other as the Tin Man? Another couple of kids and you have the whole cast!

The gruffalo world book day fancy dress

The Gruffalo

Are your children fans of Julia Donaldson’s book The Gruffalo?

How about dressing the older child as the Gruffalo and the younger one as the mouse for a cute and easy costume idea? 

thing 1 and thing 2 fancy dress

The Cat in The Hat

One of our favourites is Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the Dr Seuss classic The Cat in the Hat!

This World Book Day costume for brothers and sisters couldn’t be easier – just choose between the jumpsuit and dress versions, both of which come with Thing 1 and Thing 2 patches. If you have a third child who wants to go as The Cat himself, we have an easy jumpsuit costume.

peter pan and captain hook fancy dress

Peter Pan

We’re sure one of the kids will be desperate to be Peter himself, but the others can choose between Hook, Tinker Bell and the crocodile – depending on whether they want to help or hinder! 

We hope this post has given you plenty of inspiration for your child’s World Book Day costume! And remember, these costume ideas work well for friends as well as siblings. Check out our full range of book day costumes or stay on our blog for loads of brilliant World Book Day ideas!
