Book Character Costumes for Kids


Halloween is right around the corner so we thought it was the perfect time to give you a few ideas for some costumes based on popular book characters. 

  • Harry Potter: What list of book character costumes would be complete without this famous wizard? You'll need a black robe, Gryffindor (or something similar) patch, and of course those trademark round glasses.
  • Madeline: Always remember to walk in two straight lines! For the perfect Madeline costume you'll need a blue coat with a white collar, a yellow hat with a black ribbon, and a red scarf.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Perfect for inquisitive children, Sherlock Holmes needs a trench coat, a hat (also known as a thinking cap), a wooden pipe, a magnifying glass, and a mystery to solve, of course! 
  • Alice in Wonderland: The perfect Alice costume is made up of a blue dress with a white pinafore or apron, white knee-high socks, and some black shoes. Bonus points if you can get a hurried White Rabbit to follow her around! 
  • Olivia: The lovable, optimistic pig that steals your heart is a pretty simple costume. Olivia wears a red dress with some stripped legwarmers, and don't forget the cute pink pig ears to top it all off.
