Happy World Book Day!
Although we can all agree it’s become a bit of an inconvenience, extra expense and general headache for most parents to come up with a costume for their child on World Book Day there’s no denying the joy it brings to most children.
Aside from the excitement of going to school, normally a place of rules and uniform, dressed as your favourite character, fancy dress has other huge benefits for children.
• It allows their imaginations to soar – they can create a whole world alongside their character and dressing up enables them to immerse in this imaginary world.
• It opens their mind to different ideas and behaviours and encourages empathy by thinking and acting like a different person or creature.
• It encourages them to enjoy the freedom of play and interaction with others, either as themselves or the character they’ve become.
• It allows them to express to others their interests and personality whether that be an obsession with Matilda or a desire to become Paddington Bear for the day.
• It helps them to use their large motor skills in jumping like a superhero, crawling like a caterpillar or stomping like a BFG.
• It extends their vocabulary by encouraging them to use phrases from stories or characters which they wouldn’t use in everday life.
• It’s stimulating and fun!
And beyond World Book Day where better to enjoy dressing up and having fun than at a party.
By hiring the costumes you end up with fun for everyone at a fraction of the cost.
All our party boxes include themed dressing up for the children so that everyone can join in and immerse themselves in the party.
