This is one of the fun finds from the book fair, I had never seen cute books with crayons as the title characters. Needless to say, they made a colorful impression on me! Here are Crayon costumes for your littles that are sure to make a bold statement in the book parade! If you’ve never heard of the crayon series by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers, make sure and look them up!

Alice Through the Looking Glass
If you love the classics, you’ll want to look at the Alice in Wonderland costumes. This title has great options when it comes to characters for boys and girls! The main characters are so much fun, but if you are thinking of going more simple- go with a flower or butterfly too.

Little Red Riding Hood
Staying with the classics, Little Red Riding Hood is always a hit. I love the idea of having the little red cape/ cloak and using it for other costumes later too.

Here are Additional Ideas for You!
Captain Underpants is huge in our house, so was is a front-runner if he had not chosen to be Godzilla. Of course, you might want to run it past your child’s teacher if you choose this costume as since he’s only wearing underpants and a cape! Insert laugh, I’ve got jokes today, but as a pull-on costume, it might be a little hard for them to go potty without help. You’ve been warned.
