World Book Day was yesterday and Ds went off to nursery refusung to wear his Gruffalo costume! Grr...
However at some point in the morning someone managed to coax him into wearing it, and he won the prize for best costume in the Toddler Group :).
The nursery gave him a storybook called "What's The Time Mr. Wolf?".
I was very surprised when I turned up to collect him that
a) he had won the prize, but also that
b) he was the only child that I could see in a home made costume!
All the others had been shop bought outfits from Asda etc, which I thought was a shame.
It maybe is a slight reflection on our "Buy it cheap and chuck" culture, where (although Ds's costume was made from what was knocking about the house already and reclaimed fabrics) it is often cheaper to buy a ready made item than it is to go and buy the fabric and the ribbons etc and do it yourself.
Anyway, I'm not judging those who shop bought. Everyone has to do what works best for them, but I will say I really enjoyed making Ds's 1st dress up costume and will definitely be going for homemade next time too :)
