Charlie in the Chocolate Factory is one of my favourite books of all time. Why not try going as a ‘Golden Ticket’? Grab some gold wrapping paper, and with some careful handwriting on the front – you have the infamous Golden Ticket!

Dress your child all in red, add some fluffy socks for the hands and feet – and make a tail out of anything you have. Put a bit of makeup on with whiskers and a button nose – and buy a cheap set of ear headbands from your local cheap store!

Put on a plain dress, stickytape some patches of material, add a cardigan, some boots with different coloured socks, and plait the hair in two!

Dress your little girl in all black. Make a simple cardboard witches hat, and grab a broom if you don’t want to make one at home yourself.
