Will you be getting trussed up as a twit or looking as fantastic as Mr Fox on Friday 28 September? That's Dahlicious Dress Up Day when, in aid of Roald Dahl's Marvellous Charity, which helps to make the lives of seriously ill children better, kids in primary schools all over the country pay £1 to come to school dressed as a Roald Dahl character.

We've got some tips and suggestions for costumes:
How to dress up as a Roald Dahl character - ideas and tips
and we want more!

Which character will you be going as, and what will your costume be like? Got any brilliant ideas for how to look like Matilda or the BFG or Charlie Bucket or one of the other Golden Ticket winners? We want to know!

Share your ideas by emailing us at childrens.books@guardian.co.uk or tweeting @GdnChildrensBks and we'll be printing them below. We also want photos of your costumes after the day and will put them in a gallery on the site.

Lorna:
My daughter Aoife dressed up as Mr Twit for her schools Roald Dahl day today. She's wearing one of my old 3/4 length suits and an old shirt. I backcombed her hair last night before bed so it would be completely wild this morning. I also backcombed a beard I bought from a costume shop. I stuck cheerios, rice and cornflakes to it using pva glue. I also painted her face white and made wrinkles where they would naturally be using black eyeliner an then smudging. Here's a YouTube guide on how to do it.
