mrs.lotte Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Goodness knows why I suggested Willy Wonka (save to counter a suggestion that he goes as Benedict from the mysterious Benedict society as that seemed too obscure ie I have no idea what that would entail)Anyway - 8 year old - Willy Wonka, need ideas ASAPThanks forumites Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/29749-world-book-day-willy-wonka-costume-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillywoman Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Top hat, colourful cravat-y type thing, dark formal trousers and jacket, & a cane, all a la the classic film. DOn't know whether the book description is anything like this though? Good luck with gathering those props :D Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/29749-world-book-day-willy-wonka-costume-help/#findComment-621724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkmei Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Got this from http://www.theschoolrun.com/12-no-sew-costumes-world-book-dayWilly WonkaDye your child?s dressing gown purple, or buy a cheap one to do this if you don?t want to ruin their own. Get a top hat (or make one from posterboard) and stick sweets, chocolates, candy sticks (or just the wrappers) all over it. Make a golden ticket using gold card and have them carry a tub of sweets around (if you ask their teacher, they may even be able to hand them out at the end of the day!).My 5 year old insists on going as Charlie, so that will be one golden ticket and a couple of sweet wrappers then!
