World Book Day
It’s a funny one isn’t it, a day for parents to show off their costume making skills?
I have definitely been that parent as a stay at home mum. But when I was working full time I just went for whatever we had in the house!
•
This year the kid’s school have decided to not dress up as book characters. Part of me feels relieved I don’t have to make 3 costumes but part of me feels sad Charlie won’t get to dress up on his first World Book Day. So this post is a little #thursdaythrowback •
In 2018 Archie went as Aliens Wear Underpants and Maisie went as The Rainbow Fish (I wasn’t working but had a newborn Darcie strapped to my body while I made their costumes one evening. The kids helped me make them. Did they win? No) •
In 2017 my creative side came out making a Cat in the Hat for Archie and with the hell of my mum a Rainbow Fish costume for Maisie. Did they win? Yes. Were they made entirely by adults? Yes! •
In 2016 I was working full time, we used a bear onesie and Archie’s gruffalo costume from a previous year. I also wore a bear onesie and dresses up as one of the Three Bears.
•
In 2015 I have no idea what the kids dressed up as, I don’t know if they did it that year. I dressed up as Goldilocks.
•
In 2014 I had just finished work for maternity leave and had Maisie at home with me, Archie was in nursery and wore a gruffalo onesie.
•
What do you think about World Book Day? Is it nice to celebrate a love for books? Is it a way for parents to compete with one another? Is it a way for shops to make money selling costumes?

Message me to order this marvelous set or buy it via Etsy shop (link in bio)
An Eric Carle inspired Butterfly A few sweet details about our butterfly: she’s wearing a skirt, has a diery (diary ) but Mr 4 kept saying diarrhea so THAT was quite a laughing point ♀️ and she also has jellyfish spots on her wings. The kids want to hang her in either their bedroom or the craft room (TBD) to look at for inspiration when they need it (that little comment from Mr. 8 melted my heart)
Swipe to see how we made our ‘beautiful butterfly’ a joint project made with all 3 of my kiddos (teamwork makes the dream work!). We made it using the process that Eric Carle actually uses which we found out from the amazing @ohcreativeday who has the best blog post about it! (I’ll add it in my profile link and stories for you to check out)
So speaking of Eric Carle my instabuds, Laura @4kids2moms and Diane @adventures.in.mommyland have just launched a new joint account this week @a.pop.of.culture and are kicking it off with an Eric Carle theme!
possibly the reason you’ve seen so many Eric Carle projects turning up in your feed?
Thanks you @a.pop.of.culture for inspiring this project that I’ve wanted to try for ages! If you want to join in the Eric Carle fun be sure to tag your creations #apopofculture Each week they will be joined by a guest judge, and will introduce new pop culture-related themes. Let the fun begin!
