The Funny FACTopia! dressing-up ideas support the 2026 World Book Day £1/€1.50 book. Children can design and wear their own “ASK ME FOR A FACT!” headband using simple materials, with fun no-printer options included.
Why it works
These dressing-up ideas spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Children can share surprising facts, spark conversations, and step into the joyful, fact-filled spirit of Funny FACTopia!. With low-cost materials and flexible options, everyone can join in.
How to use it
Children can start by making an “ASK ME FOR A FACT!” headband using the printable template. If they don’t have access to a printer, they can design their own using paper strips, pens, or recycled card. They can also create “clothes of many facts” by decorating their outfit with handwritten fact cards, stickers, or labels pinned safely to their top.
Get started
Print the headband template and decorate it with bright colours, doodles, or funny facts. If you prefer not to print, cut a long paper strip, write “ASK ME FOR A FACT!”, and style it your way. Add homemade fact labels or attach paper facts to your clothes to use these Funny FACTopia! dressing-up ideas and complete the look. Children can wear their creations during reading time, fact-sharing sessions, or World Book Day celebrations at home or school.
