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

Product Information

Sophie’s outfit features a classic nightgown. Her costume gets an iconic spin thanks to her short hair and eyeglasses. About The BFG

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 Disney characters can have some simple and easy-to-copy outfits, and most of them are based on books. Another Julia Donaldson favourite is The Scarecrows' Wedding - this could be a good option if you have two children.

BFG costumes

Adapt a PE or sports kit, or their school uniform - think Football Academy for sports kit, Harry Potter and St Trinian's for the uniform. If you cannot find an exact shirt, take a white one and use fabric paint to make the stripes. And of course, you would not be Augustus Gloop if your face would not be smeared in chocolate. 7. The BFG Make a simple mask. Paper plates are great for making simple masks. You can turn your child into pretty much any World Book Day character they fancy with a little crafting.

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. The Boy In The Dress BFG is a leading character in the 2016 fantasy adventure film based on the 1982 novel of Roald Dahl with the same title *The BFG”. He is an elderly Big Friendly Giant who befriends a 10-year-old orphan girl and takes her to Giant Country, where they try to stop the other giants who are human-eating from invading the human world. I don’t know if it’s the (absolutely perfect) funny face, or the way the costume moves when my little one walks around, but it really makes my giggle. The tail is the best. In the story, the BFG is a kindhearted giant who befriends a young girl named Sophie. He is distinguished from other giants by his gentleness and humanity, as he refuses to eat human beings like his counterparts. Instead, he survives on a diet consisting solely of snozzcumbers—disgusting vegetables that taste foul.

This costume is great because it does not involve sewing. All you need is some cardboard, PVA glue, tape, and paint to create the hat and the cane, and some felt tip sheets to create the clothing. The difficulty is of a beginner level, so even if you do not have any special skills, you should be able to do it. 2. Oompa Loompa 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!
