World Book Day | Dear Zoo Costume Idea
Dear Zoo
When my eldest attended primary school, they didn’t participate in world book day like the girls school do an. Making costumes and being creative is something I was excited to do as a mum.
For Lydia’s first world book day the theme was to dress up as an animal from their favorite book.
I wanted something different that no-one else would of thought of.
I trawled online and an outfit in particular jumped out at me from the book Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell, there were no others like it.
It was perfect and best of all it was easy and cheap to recreate.
What you will need:
My sister had a monkey dress up costume so I borrowed that from her Or you could pop down to your local George, Tesco, Primark and pick up brown leggings and a top from there basic range for a couple of pounds.
You will also need an A2 piece of card, I brought this in red and it was from the range because I couldn’t be bothered to paint it.
- I can be very lazy
- To save time
- A piece of plain white paper.
- Scissors
- Pritt Stick
- A piece of ribbon
- Brown eyebrow pencil or face paint
- Ruler
The majority of what you need is probably laying around your house anyway. It took me 10 minutes to make and it was done.
The next day I was more excited than her to go to school to see all the children (and adults) costume and her was the only one from Dear zoo.
We was also very happy that she won best dress up in her year considering this was an oops its world book day in two days and mummy has not done or brought anything.
I wanted to share this with you as you could also expand on this and be any of the other animal from Dear Zoo, not just a monkey. It opens up a wide range of unique little costumes you can recreate from other books. Just follow this concept and think outside the box.
This year is going to be fun as the whole school will be dressing up as crayons, I will let you know how that one goes later.

Limited Edition Blossom Bunnies- Scruff-a-luvs review and Giveaway
Which Scruff-a-luvs Blossom Bunnie will you rescue?
Lemon Drizzle, Posey or Peppermint?
Lydia and Emily received a limited edition blossom bunny and they couldn’t wait to reveal which one was in the box.
What is Scruff a Luvs Blossom Bunnies?
Blossom Bunnies are little plush bunnies that are squashed up in a small ball. To rescue them you will need to give your Scruff-a-luvs a nice bath to wash out its matted fur, dry them, brush it to fluff it up and then give lots of love.
In the Box
you will receive;
- Mystery Bunny
- Flower headband crown
- Scruff-a- luvs flower headband
- Adoption certificate and instructions on what to do.
We got PEPPERMINT
After a very exciting reveal, the girls got straight into bathing Peppermint.
Next step was to dry our scruff-a-luvs Blossom Bunnie.
This part was a little time consuming as it took around 20 minutes to dry using a hairdryer, however, Peppermint was very fluffy once she was dry and brushed.
The last thing to do was to officially adopt our Scruff-a-luvs Blossom Bunny. Lydia took the opportunity to fill out the adoption certificate herself and sign her name.
Now all they need to do is LOVE their little non-scruffy Scruff-a-luv. Which is the easiest part.
Peppermint has also been going on adventures with us which you can check out in our video below or here on our Instagram.
We all had so much fun with this product and I especially love how its a toy that does not require any batteries and involves lots of physical play. It also teaches children to be kind and love all animals by rescueing them and loving them.
Scruff-a Luvs Blossom Bunnies are Limited edition and available to buy at all good toy stores They Rrp for £19.99
Scruff-a-Luvs is a proud supporter of the RSPCA.
You can also enter our giveaway for a chance to win your very own Blossom Bunnie.
We also have a video review unboxing our Blossom Bunnie, which you can take a look at below
I was sent this item in return for an honest and open review on my blog, all opinions are my own
The Knight Tribe| Ravensburger Jigsaw Puzzle – Dreamworks Spirit
Ravensburger kindly sent us a DreamWorks Spirit, XXL, 100pc Jigsaw puzzle last week to review
(We received a Dreamsworks Spirit jigsaw puzzle in return for an honest review on our blog)
After school the kids go to is either the television or their tablets and like most parents, this bothers me as I prefer them to play with traditional toys so I was intrigued to see their reaction when we received a Dreamworks Spirit jigsaw puzzle to which one they would go to and I am happy to report they picked the jigsaw puzzle.
Lydia was keener than Emily at first as she started to find the corners and straight edges and then Emily became interested and sat down next to her to help.
After a few raised voices they seemed to work together quite nicely, Lydia asked Emily to find all the pieces which looked like they belonged to a horse and put them together. Emily tried to work out which piece went where and I did not have to worry about her being heavy-handed and breaking any parts as they seemed quite robust.
They spent roughly about an hour completing the puzzle with very little input from me and they were very proud of themselves for working together nicely to finish the jigsaw.
As a mum, this is a win-win because not only did they work together and play nicely with Lydia taking leadership and explaining to Emily how to do the puzzle, Emily listened and together they managed to finish it. The other win was because of the quality of the puzzle and sturdiness of the pieces I know they’ll be able to do this more than once. They have even asked for more jigsaw puzzles too.
This puzzle is aimed at children 6+ and has 100 extra large soft click pieces with a high-quality image of Lucky, PRU, Chica, Linda, Abigail and boomerang setting off on another adventure on the front.
You can purchase your very own here.
