BOOK WEEK COSTUMES
The Children's Book Council of Australia's (CBCA's) Annual Book Week returns! Time to express our CBCA Book Week spirit. This special week is often the highlight of the school year for children, especially young ones in primary schools. It's a week full of excitement, imagination, and of course, amazing Book Week costumes.
If you're a parent, teacher or student looking for fun, prize-worthy or last-minute Book Week costume ideas, Blossom's online store has just the thing for you — whether it’s book week diy costumes or complete, ready-to-go outfits.
Our Best Selling Book Week Costumes
The Book Week Dress-Up Awards are a wonderful opportunity for kids, parents and teachers to show off their creative flair. And, not to brag, we've proudly supplied the winning costumes for a number of school pageants across Australia! If you need a Book Week costume idea for 2025 that matches this year's theme, “Reading is Magic,” we have something for everyone.

While we would never condone cheating, we’re quite happy to indulge in a little out-of-the-box thinking. Parents in need of easy Book Week costumes should remember that many of your children’s favourite TV characters also appear in books, and are therefore eligible Book Week dress-up characters!
Have a gander at our marvellous selection of Book Week themes and book week character dress up options.
Popular Book Week Authors
The world is big, but it’s nothing compared to a literary universe packed with kings and queens, detectives and gangsters, mythological beasts and zoological anomalies. Blossom Costumes stocks the costumes, makeup and accessories needed to transform into Book Week 2025 costumes from practically any genre.
If you’re after book week costume ideas for girls and boys, you can always celebrate Australian literature by dressing up as an animal from Possum Magic or the dingo from Wombat Stew for Book Week — all it would take is some ears and face paint and perhaps a bushy tail. You could even bring your own pail to make your own gooey, chewy stew.

A plain blue dress isn’t a great Alice costume. Old red t-shirts aren’t fun Thing 1 and Thing 2 costumes. A rumpled white t-shirt won’t turn you into the Wimpy Kid.

Lucky for you, Blossom’s online costume store has just what you need — from book week costume ideas for boy and girl to book week group costumes that stand out.
