If your little one is a Potterhead, we've got all sorts of Harry Potter costumes to turn them into their favourite wizards and witches.

Whether your kid wants to dress up as Hulk or Thanos, our range covers everyone from Spider-Man to Captain America. I’m not on social media but just wanted to reach out and say I have been recommending you to everyone I know, with kids of course!Don't forget to complete their ensemble with those all-important fancy dress accessories to put the final touches to their transformation. If you need to provide your own baby Jesus prop, you can use a child's doll, swaddled in a blanket or towel, for your little Mary to carry.

To make your angel's halo, you can simply use a plain headband with some silver or gold pipe cleaners. If you don't have a suitable tea towel, you can try using a pashmina which can be wrapped around your child's head, turban-style.

To make a three kings costume you’ll need: a robe (their usual dressing gown may be suitable if it’s dark and plain), some gold card, glitter and shiny paper, glue, tinsel, safety pins, a long plastic necklace, glitter, gold-coloured rope or ribbon, bright clothes, plimsolls. So whether they're a shepherd, a wise man, an angel, a stable animal, or they're playing a lead role of Mary or Joseph, check out our DIY Nativity costume ideas below. Again, you can make a simple tunic for these costumes –just use a colourful or velvet fabric for a King or a Wise Man. Wrap a striped tea towel around your child’s head and fasten in a knot – if this proves tricky, use hair fasteners or a head band to help. Written by teachers and experts and exclusively available to TheSchoolRun subscribers, learning packs (each 50+ pages long) are fun as well as practice-packed.

One of the highlights of your year will probably be watching your kids star in their school Nativity play.In each interactive tutorial, our digital teacher explains the method, shows you examples and then gives you a chance to practise what you've learned. And check out our selection of DC superhero costumes, including Wonder Woman dresses, Batman suits and Supergirl outfits. Pick out Hogwarts uniforms and whether they go for Gryffindor or Slytherin, our costume sets come complete with wands and other accessories to make it truly magical. You’ll need: Black leggings or tights, a leotard or t-shirt (yellow/gold if possible), a stick, some card, glue and some glitter paint. It’s not only teaching my little one things, it’s showing me how things should’ve been done when I was younger.

If your little angel is honoured with the role of Mary, or your shining star is to be a sheep, here are some sewing-free, stress-free ways of getting simple, yet effective, handmade Nativity costumes recommended by non-crafty mum and teacher, Phoebe Doyle. You can easily make a crown out of cardboard, and use some coloured tissue paper or glitzy wrapping paper to create the sparkling 'jewels'. I do wish you were around then, as your content is fantastic and my little boy looks forward to your daily worksheets. Pick out wigs, shoes and complete outfit sets to dress them as their favourite princess from top to toe.I particularly loved your handwriting sections and the ‘Learning Journey’ links that you have created. If you're lucky, the school will take care of all the costumes but - more often than not - you'll receive a letter home telling you what part your child has been chosen to play and asking you to bring in a costume. All you need is a long rectangle of fabric to fashion into a tunic, or you can even cheat and adapt an old pillowcase for little ones! You’ll need: A long brown woolly jumper, some brown tights or leggings, brown felt, glue, black gloves, black socks, black plimsolls, brown card, pipe cleaners and a headband. For most Nativity costumes, you can get away with a tabard or a tunic to make up the base of the outfit.
