This Kids Stick Man Costume brings Julia Donaldson's much-loved character to life for Book Week, World Book Day, or any literary dress-up event. The towering headpiece with its broken-branch crown and big yellow eyes is an instant conversation starter at the school gate.

Stand-out details include the wood-grain print running head-to-toe, fabric leaf accents on the sleeves and torso, and circular "An excellent stick!" badges sewn onto the tunic front—a nod to the book's refrain. The headpiece sits tall and proud with an open face cutout for easy visibility and breathing, while the tunic slips on over regular clothes for quick changes.

Perfect For

Book Week & World Book Day: A natural pick for Julia Donaldson fans—pairs beautifully with Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, or any woodland storybook parade.

School Dress-Up Days: Teachers love this one for themed literature days, forest-themed assemblies, or nature study presentations where your child gets to be the star character.

Birthday Parties & Play: Works a treat for woodland-themed birthday parties or backyard adventures where kids re-enact Stick Man's journey back to the family tree.

How to Wear It

Pair with brown sneakers or gumboots and keep hair natural—the headpiece does all the talking. Skip the jacket; the tunic layers comfortably over a long-sleeved top if the classroom's cold.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and height measurements. The tunic runs true to size with a relaxed fit; if your child is between sizes, go with the larger one for room to grow and layer underneath.

Can they wear this over school uniform?

Yes—the tunic and trousers pull on easily over regular clothes, making it a stress-free option for busy Book Week mornings when you're running late.

Is the headpiece comfortable for all-day wear?

The headpiece is lightweight with an open face cutout, so visibility and breathing are no issue. Most kids wear it happily for school parades; if it gets heavy during class, they can pop it off and carry it.

Does this work for both boys and girls?

Absolutely—Stick Man is a unisex character, and the costume's earthy browns and greens suit any child who loves the book.

Care: Spot clean or gentle machine wash; air dry the headpiece to keep its shape.
