This day I love.......

World book day is fast approaching again.  You would assume that as my girls love to read that we would have no problems in deciding upon a costume for World book day, however the opposite is perhaps true.  I am almost 39 weeks pregnant and whilst I would love to make a costume for the girls I simply am not feeling up to it.

I have been looking around for costumes for the girls and have found a few I really like.

Morphsuits

Morphsuits are all in one suits which look fantastic.  They include a hood which goes over the face and I was not sure if they would make a suit suitable for children.  I have however found a selection of suits that fit even my youngest daughter.  They are all in one suits which are easy to put on, comfortable to wear and the girls think they are absolutely fantastic.  They have no problems seeing through the hoods.

Tiger and a bear

They have both been running around the house making 'Roar' sounds and have really got into the characters.  They would make perfect costumes for world book day and am thinking 'The Tiger who came to tea' and 'Goldilocks and the Three bears'

Dinosaurs

A few weeks ago my eldest dressed up as a dinosaur and really loved it.  She has been asking if I can find her a dinosaur costume again for her to dress up in.  I love the Raptor toddler costume here  and feel it would be a great costume for World Book day, and they could be Hocus Pocus Diplodocus

A Princess

The girls both have their very own personalised books from Create Me books, you can win one here, and are each featured as a Princess in the books.

I think it would be really great for them to go as the Princess from their very own book.  I found two princess dresses that match these in the book from the Disney store, who also have 25% off costumes and accessories.

My girls love to dress up and whilst they love to dress up as their favourite Disney Princess they also have been asking for their favourite superhero costumes.  The girls however know their superheroes and they know that Batman and Spiderman do not wear pink.  They are also fussy and refuse to wear the costumes that are in the boys aisle, because they are in the boys aisle.

This has left me in a bit of a tough spot.  There do not seem to be many costumes out there for girls that are superhero themed and yet keep the costumes feminine but close to the original costume.  Then we discovered Play and Party who came to our rescue.


The girls needed to dress up as superheroes for school and I was stuck.  I ordered the girls a costume each from Play and Party and the next morning it arrived.  I was amazed.  It was a true next day delivery service and the girls had their costumes ready for Superhero day at school.

The girls love their superhero costumes.  They stay true to the original superhero and yet have a feminine touch to them, which is what the girls wanted.  No pink, the correct colours and both girls knew exactly who they were.  Ok Supergirl had the addition of Hello Kitty but my eldest loved this!

The girls come home from school and immediately put on their superhero costumes and then run around the house pretending to fly.  It is so lovely to watch them play and use their imaginations like this.  


The girls are over the moon with their costumes and this makes me really happy too.  Thank you Play and Party for making the girls incredibly happy.

When I was younger I had a dressing up box.  It contained all sorts of things for dressing up and pretend play.  My daughters have a box which says on the front 'Let's pretend' and inside is a selection of clothes, wings, wands and shoes for them to use with pretend play.  I add to the box as I find things to enable with their imagination and playing.

At their Grandparents house, my Mum has kept several of the items we used to use for dressing up.  One of which is a box containing lots of play jewellery.  My oldest loves going in the box and dressing up with rings and bracelets, my youngest normally does not go anywhere near.  With her new ability to climb onto the coffee table this changed.

She climbed the table, fully under the watchful eye of Grandparents, and reached for the play jewellery box.  She opened the box and her face lit up

I love emptying this box

She then proceeded to empty the box.  She loved exploring the different shapes and textures of the beads.  Was amazed by all the different colours and the different noises they all made.  She had so much fun and I can't remember anything that has kept her sitting still for so long.

My treasureEmptying the box

I have decided that on Monday I shall be visiting my local charity shop in order to search for some items to create our own dressing up Jewellery box.

This day I love Jewellery.
