What's in the Box

• Oversized foam Golden Ticket tabard

This Kids Golden Ticket Costume brings the magic of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory right to your child's Book Week morning. It's an oversized foam tabard printed to look exactly like Willy Wonka's legendary Golden Ticket, complete with vintage invitation text and ornate scalloped borders.

The metallic gold finish catches the light beautifully, and the lightweight foam construction means your child can wear it comfortably all day without overheating. Shoulder straps cross at the back to keep it secure — no slipping during class parades or playground photos. Single-sided print (front only), so pair it with plain black pants and a dark shirt for the full effect.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A standout pick for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl character parades, or any storybook event celebrating classic children's literature.

School Dress-Up Days: Works brilliantly for 100 days of school, kindy character days, or themed school concerts where kids need a quick-change costume that's instantly recognisable.

Halloween & Themed Parties: Perfect for chocolate factory parties, candy-themed birthdays, or Halloween trick-or-treating with a whimsical twist instead of the usual scary costumes.

How to Wear It

Wear over plain black pants and a dark long-sleeve shirt to let the Golden Ticket shine. Comfortable sneakers or school shoes work perfectly — no need for fancy footwear. Skip hats or accessories; the ticket itself is the star.

Parent FAQs

Q: What size should I order?

This is a one-size foam tabard designed to fit most school-age kids. The oversized rectangle hangs from the shoulders and drapes over the torso — check the size chart for length measurements to ensure it suits your child's height.

Q: Can they wear this over their regular school uniform?

Absolutely. The lightweight foam construction and shoulder-strap design mean it slips on easily over school clothes, making it perfect for last-minute Book Week mornings when you've forgotten to sort a costume until the night before.

Q: Is the foam durable? Will it survive a full day at school?

Yes — foam tabards like this are surprisingly sturdy. The rigid foam holds its shape without bending, and the shoulder straps keep it secure. Avoid crumpling it in a tight bag, but otherwise it'll handle a day of classroom activities and playground fun.

Q: Is this suitable for Book Week if our theme is "classic children's books"?

Definitely. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of the most beloved Roald Dahl books, and the Golden Ticket is one of the most iconic moments in children's literature. Teachers and classmates will recognise it instantly.

Care: Spot-clean with a damp cloth; do not machine wash foam tabards.
