Look SPOTacular to raise money
Look SPOTacular while you collect donations with these fancy dress fundraising ideas and crafts, perfect for young children.
Why not organise a dress up and donate day or even a fundraising fashion show?
Your little ones could dress like Pudsey, wearing as much yellow as possible, or put on spotty clothing for a SPOTacular charity fancy dress look. You could even have a super silly day and go out in odd socks, or wear pyjamas all day at nursery!
Whatever you choose, wear something that will make your whole nursery smile – and donate if you can.
1. Spots
There can be no mistaking what you’re up to on BBC Children in Need Day if you’re sitting in the office dressed head-to-toe in spots! The more spots the better. We love spots.
Of course, you could go subtle with a spotty tie or socks instead. Whatever you decide, collect sponsorship wherever you can. Your fundraising efforts will make a huge difference.
2. Your “Zoom outfit”
It’s a running joke that – when working from home – we keep our PJ bottoms on while dressing formal on top for video calls. So why not own it and go into work like that for a good cause? You could even combine this with the above theme and sport some spotty slippers.
3. Transform your friends or colleagues
Are you a talented hairstylist? Face painter? Nail artist? In return for sponsorship, you could offer up those skills in the staff room or at a BBC Children in Need party, helping your friends and colleagues to achieve their own SPOTacular looks.
