The Tiger Who Came to Tea book cover showing tiger at table

The Tiger Who Came to Tea

Easy · £6–£12

Everyone does cats and dogs — almost nobody comes as the Tiger. It's instantly recognisable to parents and teachers, easy to put together, and your child gets to pretend they've eaten everything in the house.

Orange or yellow clothing with black stripes drawn or stuck on. Add tiger ears and a tail, and maybe carry a teacup for the finishing touch.
