Teaching the Stars!: Book Character Day: Great Ideas for Teacher Costumes

Wow! Book Character Day was such a success! It’s always a challenge to find the perfect costume to fit a favorite book. Time! Juggling Schedules, & Red Ribbon Week~What to Wear on Book Character Day? These teachers and students always meet the challenge.

I love the bright crayon costumes. The Day the Crayons Quit is a favorite book in the younger grades. There are several great crayon books: The Day the Crayons Came Home, The Crayon Book That Talked, & Harold and the Purple Crayon.

Pete the Cat is also a favorite on Book Character Day. I love all the different Pete the Cat books, such a great variety of books. I love the shoes! So fun!

I love the pig costumes! (So fun with the boots) I love the different versions of The Three Little Pigs: The Three Little Javelinas, The Three Little Cajun Pigs, & The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.

Have You Filled Someones Bucket Today? Everyone needs their bucket filled and what a great bright and fun costume to wear. Yes!

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, If You Give a Cat a Cupcake, If You Give a Dog a Donut, If You Give a Pig a Pancake, & If You Give a Moose a Muffin are all great books to use. I love how each teacher had a food item! So Yummy!

Among the Hidden

Can you see them? These third children are hidden. The Shadow Children book series is a great read for older grades! I can’t wait to start this series in my classroom.

Nonfiction Books are always a hit!
