Amscan - Officially Licensed Roald Dahl BFG Sophie Kids Costume Age: 3-12 Years

Product Information

A dress for Betty O'Barley and dungarees or shirt and pants for Harry O'Hay, and they're ready to plan their perfect wedding. She takes on many guises, the Olympian shot putter among them, and a theme taken by Diane Richardson's daughter. And you don't need much to make it work. A denim dress, denim shorts and tights, or dungarees will do the job. Finish it off with a red hair ribbon and a copy of the book and you're there.

Bright clothes essential for this one - Courtney-Leigh Williams and Lacey Williams did a brilliant job emulating Scooby Doo's Daphne and Velma. Creating a Mike Teavee costume may seem a bit intimidating, but it can still be done. You will need a yellow shirt to which you can attach some frills, a blue scarf, and brown pants, and cowboy boots. Another iconic Matilda character is Bruce Bogtrotter, the boy who was punished for eating the headteacher's chocolate cake by being force-fed the entire thing. The main thing needed here is straw! Grab some wellies and hats and stuff them with straw and your half way there.Three-year-old Laurence Lowrey pulled it off brilliantly last year and you can do the same with just a white top and a whole lot of cake. Shouldn't be too difficult persuading your child to eat cake for breakfast now should it! All you need is pyjamas or a nightie, some glasses and your own jar of 'sweet dreams', easily done with a washed out jam jar, some paper and even better if you can include some battery powered fairy lights or candles to add to the magic. Room on the Broom If you are out of ideas and supplies, but still want to act out your favourite Roald Dhal characters, then you may decide to be Sophie from BDG. All you need is a long, light pink nightgown, a short brown wig, and big glasses (or at least the frames).

Matilda is notable Roald Dahl's best recognised character. The little girl with special powers is always a World Book Day favourite and following the release of the remake earlier this year, it's bound to be even more popular than ever this year. Sophie then curiously explores the BFG's workshop by herself and asks him that he can't keep secrets from her to which she explains to him that she sneaks around at night, sometimes steals, and also lies. She explains to him that she never had a giant friend like him as Sophie explains to him that she is very lonely with no friend. She then warns the BFG about the Fleshlumpeater who is looking after her to which after discussing with him about the giant she talked about, the BFG and Sophie walk outside and plan to get to the top of the mountain without disturbing the Fleshlumpeater's henchmen only for the BFG to be grabbed by the Bloodbottler just as Sophie escapes into a cab to which the Gizzardgulper carries the vehicle still with Sophie inside as the two giants speed toward each other to which BFG manages to escape from them with Sophie on his hand.If you've already got a princess or character costume, there's usually a book character there somewhere - like Devon Birkett, who dressed up last year as Roald Dahl's The Enormous Crocodile and his sister Paige, who went as Belle from Beauty and the Beast. David Walliams is another author whose characters are often recreated on World Book Day. One of the most popular character's is Demon Dentist. The evil character is easily recreated with an all white outfit and some fake blood, red food colouring or even ketchup!
