What's in the Box

Sage green three-quarter trousers with elastic waist
Brown sleeveless vest with decorative belt
Dramatically oversized ear headpiece
Dream-catching horn prop

This Kids BFG Costume brings Roald Dahl's Big Friendly Giant to life with the signature oversized ears, earthy green trousers, and dream-blowing horn. One look at those sculpted ears and every kid knows exactly who you're meant to be.

The ear headpiece sits comfortably over the head like a hairband, with realistic three-dimensional ears extending from each temple — they're the standout piece that makes the costume instantly recognisable. Sage green trousers have an elastic waistband for easy pull-on wear, and the brown vest adds the humble, cave-dwelling aesthetic from the story. Horn prop completes the dream-catching look.

Perfect For

Book Week & Roald Dahl Day: A natural choice for World Book Day parades, Book Week character dress-up, or Roald Dahl themed school days — one of the most beloved children's book characters of all time.

School Literature Events: Brilliant for character parades, library dress-up days, or Year 3–5 literature projects where kids present on their favourite book character.

Halloween & Costume Parties: Works beautifully for Halloween (friendly giant, not scary), costume parties, or any event where your child wants to be a gentle, dream-catching hero.

How to Wear It

Pair with a basic white t-shirt underneath the vest (not included — your child's own short-sleeve tee works perfectly). Comfortable sandals or brown sneakers finish the look without fuss.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and height measurements — the trousers have elastic so there's give at the waist, but length matters. If your child is between sizes, size up for longer wear.

Do they need to wear anything else underneath?

Yes — a plain white t-shirt underneath the vest completes the BFG look. The trousers can go over underwear or bike shorts if your child prefers the extra layer.

How sturdy are the oversized ears?

The ears are foam-backed and surprisingly lightweight — they won't droop or flop during the school parade. The headband sits securely without being too tight.

Is this suitable for outdoor Book Week events?

Absolutely — the fabric is durable enough for playground wear, and the vest-over-tee combo works across different temperatures. Just skip the sandals if it's wet; brown sneakers are fine.

Care: Spot clean or gentle hand wash; hang to dry. Ears can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
