Create Picture-Perfect Memories with Themed Costumes and Props
School Book Week is one of the most exciting events in the Australian school year. It brings stories to life through dress-ups, displays and creative activities. One of the most memorable ways to celebrate is with a themed photo booth that captures the fun and imagination of the week.
At Everything Party Ryde, we make it easy to build the perfect Book Week photo booth with a wide selection of school Book Week party supplies, Book Week costumes for kids and adults, and themed decorations. Here are a few ideas to help you get started.
Where’s Wally Search Station
Create a simple striped backdrop using red and white fabric or paper, then set the scene with Where’s Wally costume supplies like hats, round glasses and scarves. Have students wear a kids Where’s Wally shirt Australia loves and pose in groups to create a real-life version of the famous puzzle page.
Dr Seuss Storyland
Bring the world of Dr Seuss to life with bold colours, playful props and plenty of stripes. Use Dr Seuss party accessories to decorate your booth with giant books, quirky shapes and fun signage. Students can wear a Dr Seuss Cat in the Hat headband or full costume to match the theme.
Classic Character Wall
Design a backdrop inspired by beloved books and dress students in characters from Roald Dahl, classic fairytales or fantasy series. Costumes like the Willy Wonka costume for kids, the Mario Luigi dress up set and animal dress up sets for Book Week make great photo moments. Add simple signs that show the book each character comes from for an educational touch.
Storybook Garden
Set up a dreamy corner filled with artificial greenery, fairy lights and flowers. Add a bench, a giant book prop or cardboard trees for a whimsical reading nook. Invite students to wear literary themed dress up Australia has embraced, like magical creatures or enchanted characters.
DIY Author Zone
Let students take on the role of authors or invent their own characters. Use props like books, pens, typewriters and chalkboards, and encourage creativity in their dress-ups. With affordable School Book Week costumes Australia loves, students can mix and match items to build their own story-inspired looks.

You can print photos for a classroom display or share them digitally in a newsletter. Book Week photo booths help bring literature to life and encourage students to share their favourite stories with others.
