100 Days Of School Costume Ideas for Kids
Often, schools hold a dress-up day with kids dressing up as the elderly to commemorate the occasion. At Spotlight, you can shop from a range of kids' costumes to find the perfect ensemble for your child's 100 days of school costume.
Old Man Costumes
Our old man costumes are perfect for children wanting to transform into their grandpa. The Spartys 100 Days Of School Kids Old Man Costume is perfect for aging your little one all the way up to 100 years old! This costume features a jumpsuit design with the pants and sweater vest printed design sewn together in a one-piece suit! Complete with a matching bow tie, this jumpsuit is reminiscent of the classic grandpa look. With this costume, you can rest assured knowing your kid is equipped with a costume that is easy and comfortable for children to wear when running around the playground.
Old Lady Costumes
With our adorable array of girls' costumes, your child can transform into their favourite old lady with ease! When it comes to 100 days of school dress up ideas, our Spartys 100 Days Of School Kids Old Lady Costume is perfect for your child's momentous occasion. This costume features a vintage-inspired floral dress along with a matching head scarf in the same pattern for the classic old lady look. Complete with yellow sleeves and glasses, kids will love dressing up as an old lady and hobbling around their classroom.
The accessories to any costume really complete the whole look. Our 100 days of school accessories can be used to complement your child's costume or may be used in combination with your child's existing wardrobe or school uniform to instantly age them up with the help of some costume glasses, a walking stick, a bow tie, a fedora or suspenders.
Wigs and Bald Caps to Really Look the Part
A classic symbol of old age is greying or balding hair, so a wig is the perfect addition to any 100 days of school dress up. Think of a balding wig with a bald patch and grey hairs for the illusion of a receding hairline, perfect for any old man costume. On the other hand, for a more laid-back old lady look, an old lady wig with curly hair makes for the perfect final touch to an old woman costume.
Fun and Amusing Inflatable Walking Aids
As we get older, our mobility isn't always up to what it used to be, so the perfect prop for any old person costume is, of course, a walking aid. An inflatable walker or cane will help your child embody the elderly, all while being a lightweight accessory that is easy for them to carry around their classroom and playground without the risk of them injuring themselves or others.
Elderly Accessories Set: Glasses, Scarves, Walking Sticks and More
The perfect low maintenance approach to dressing up for 100 days of school is, of course, a coordinating set of accessories. A coordinating set of accessories, including wigs or props, allows for cohesiveness through your child's costumes and makes it easy to transform any outfit or school uniform into an elderly get-up.
100 Days Of School Dress Up Ideas For Teachers
Teachers can also join in on the fun, too - after all, they are celebrating 100 days of school for the year as well. With so many elderly themed costume accessories to choose from, including wigs, glasses and canes, teachers can take their everyday wardrobe and turn it into an elderly costume simply by adding the right accessories.
One of many great 100 days of school dress up ideas for teachers is to use special effects makeup to enhance any lines and create wrinkles to instantly age them up in line with the theme of dressing as the elderly. Check out our Grandpa Face Paint Project for helpful tips and tricks on creating an elderly makeup look.
100 Days of School Inspired Craft Projects Kids Will Love
Whether you're celebrating in the classroom with students or at home with your child, commemorate the occasion with a fun arts and craft activity your child will love! Our collection of free craft activities are not only a fun way for your kids to celebrate but also allows them to express their creativity.
Achievement Medals To Honour Their Effort
Reaching 100 days of school is an achievement itself, so commemorating the occasion with a medal is one way to help students feel proud about their accomplishment. To alter the project for young students, it's a good idea to prepare the round pieces of clay in advance and cut a small slit about a quarter of the way through the piece of clay. Supply students with child-safe alphabet stamps to press their names on the front of their medal. Once students have completed their designs, a responsible adult can collect their work and bake the clay in an oven. Once cooled, thread a piece of ribbon through the medal for students to wear proudly.
Foil Stars
Students are shining stars, so why not encourage them to make their own shining stars? For this stars project, prepare an aluminium star for each kid before your crafting session. Kids can then draw on their stars in their favourite colours. Display these around the classroom, or if you're a parent helping your child express their creativity, these stars will look bright and colourful when displayed on your fridge!
Little Flower Pots
100 Days of school events are all about celebrating the growth of first year students throughout the year. Nothing resembles growth more than flowers! Help kids make their own colourful flowerpots with our little flower pots project. Using pom poms as the centre of the flower, kids can pick out chenille sticks in their favourite colours to make the petals of a flower and the flower stem. You can also help kids to make a flowerpot out of wooden popsicle sticks. Create a garden of students' creations in the classroom, or if you're crafting with your child at home, display their flowerpot on your bookshelf, benchtop or in their bedroom.
