The best last-minute World Book Day 2025 costumes for kids
Mar 5, 2025
Every year, World Book Day celebrates the joy of reading, inspiring a new generation of budding book worms to read for fun.
This year, World Book Day 2025 falls on Thursday March 6, which means parents still have one day left to get that all-important costume sorted for their little ones.
We’ve rounded up the best costumes from last year to inspire this year’s creations – and they’re easy to put together too.
So if you’ve riffled through your kids dressing up box and come up empty, never fear, there’s still time to get your child decked out as their favourite characters, from Hungry Caterpillars to the entire cast of Harry Potter.
Easy costume ideas for kids for World Book Day 2025
Matilda
Roald Dahl has plenty of weird and wonderful characters to pick from, but we love this fabulous little girls’ choice to dress as the terrifying Miss Trunchbull, the headteacher at Crunchem Hall, where Matilda goes to school.
It’s quite an easy one to recreate too. The jumper and belt is spot on, along with her trousers tucked into her socks. Shot puts are the perfect accessory too.
Mairi-Jean Watkins (@MairiWatkins) captioned the clip, ‘Chokey now!!’, saying: ‘All set for #WorldBookDay2024’, before wishing her daughter’s school good luck.
We have to say the costume is amazing, but the acting talent from this mini reader makes it a 10/10 from us.
