Find fun costume ideas for kids to wear for the Book Week celebration. With the theme 'Dreaming with Eyes Open', kids can bring to life their favourite characters with awesome costumes. 
From Hogwarts to Oz, Here Are The Most Dazzling Cool Kids Costume Ideas for Book Week 2022!

We think the theme for this year’s Book Week Dreaming with eyes open captures what reading is all about. As we read our imaginations soar. As we read we each imagine our own interpretation of the story in our hands. What the characters look like, what their worlds are like and what might happen next. Enhance your child’s love of reading and let their dreaming soar as you prepare for this year’s Book Week.
At Costume City, we have put together a selection of costumes which we think are perfect for this year’s Dreaming with eyes open Book Week theme. Check out this year’s poster to find out about the theme’s connection to Australia’s First Nations, illustrated by children’s picture book creator and Darug woman, Jasmine Seymour. You can also get more ideas from our previous blog on kids costumes for Book Week 2021.
Dress up as your favourite fantasy character
Step out from the books of fantasy and dress up as a character from this imaginary world. Get out your wand and transport yourself to the World of Hogwarts or the Land of Oz. Sparkle as a princess or stretch your fairy wings and get set for magic at the Book Week parade.


Make aliens and mythical creatures come to life
Enter the world of folklore, legends, and fairytales and bring a mythical creature to life for the day. Dragons, unicorns, or even aliens. Have fun dressing up as a fantasy creature this Book Week.


Mythical beasts who don’t always play nice
Mythical beasts come in all shapes and sizes. For those older kids who prefer a scary costume, we have a range of options (which they can use again come Halloween). All the mythical costumes in one place for you to choose from!

 From Alice to Peter Pan - for the daring dreamers
Story books are filled with characters who dreamed big or had fantastic adventures. Pop down the rabbit hole with Alice, follow a yellow brick road, or get set to train a dragon. Read the books and get set to dream.

 Ringmaster? Pirate? Astronaut? Dress up as anyone you dream to be!
Books are filled with worlds of possibilities. Get set to run a circus, have a swashbuckling adventure, or fly to outer space. With the right magic lamp your wish could come true.
