World Book Day Costume Ideas for Siblings

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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

    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.
