ABC Celebration: the first "we did it!" at school
Just recently, the first-grader solemnly carried a brand-new backpack to school and tried to remember where their classroom was.
And now they already read, write, know that the break ends much faster than the lesson — and are preparing for the ABC Celebration.
This is one of the first real school performances. And this is exactly where ordinary things suddenly get hands, feet, and lines.
The ABC Book takes the stage. The Bell does too. 🔔📚
And somewhere at this moment, parents start looking for costumes.
The main character — the ABC Book
Without it, the ABC Celebration would be a bit suspicious. 😄
The ABC Book can host the celebration, give riddles to the children, test what they have learned during the first year, or simply be one of the central characters of the script.
For such a role, it is important that the audience does not have to guess for half the performance:
— Is this a book?
— Maybe a student?
— No, I think it's the ABC Book...
The look should be recognizable immediately.
For rent, SONECHKO has a ready-made children's ABC Book costume. In the catalog, it is presented among profession costumes and thematic looks.

A ready-made costume is especially useful if the alternative is to remember at nine in the evening that tomorrow the child must be the ABC Book, find a large box, and convince yourself that the glue will dry by morning.
Spoiler: sometimes it doesn't. 😄
The Bell — another character of the school celebration
🔔 A bell for a first-grader is generally a symbolic character.
School life started with it, it announces the beginning and end of lessons every day, and in the script of a school celebration, it can well appear as a separate character.
And for this role, we also have a ready-made look — the carnival Bell costume. https://sonechko.online/prokat/karnavalnyi-dzvynok-yalynkova-igrashka.html
This costume is more versatile than it might seem from the name: the bell look can be used not only at winter holidays, but also in school productions where a script requires a school bell or a Bell.
And who else can appear at the ABC Celebration?
There is no single script for the ABC Celebration.
Somewhere the main characters will be the ABC Book and the children, somewhere fairy tale characters will join them, and somewhere the teacher will turn the performance into a whole small story.
Therefore, our main advice is simple:
first find out the child's exact role, and only then look for a costume.
Now the SONECHKO catalog has over 1100 models, so if neither the ABC Book nor the Bell appeared in the script, you should look for the character by name or contact us for selection.Age is not a size
“I need a costume for seven years old” is useful information, but not enough.
In the first grade, two seven-year-old children with heights of 116 and 128 cm may well sit next to each other.
Therefore, before booking, it is better to measure the child's height. On the website, costumes can be filtered precisely by height — from 80 to 176 cm — and you can check the required rental date.
This is much more reliable than the principle:
— They are an average seven-year-old.
We believe you. But the centimeter is still more accurate. 😄
When to book a costume for the ABC Celebration?
As soon as the school announced the date and role.
The reason is simple: ABC Celebrations in different schools take place at approximately the same season, and the necessary characters repeat.
Especially the ABC Book.
Therefore, waiting for the last day doesn't make much sense. On the website, you can choose the rental date and the child's height, and only then place an order for the required look. In Kyiv, you can pick up the costume yourself; across Ukraine, SONECHKO also sends costumes via Nova Poshta.
The ABC Book closes — and the first grade continues ❤️
The ABC Celebration is a small event on the scale of eleven school years.
But for a child, it is not small at all.
This is the moment when you can look back and see: in September there were separate letters, and now words, sentences, and entire stories are made of them.
So let the ABC Book be the ABC Book, the Bell be the Bell on this day, let the children enjoy the performance, and let the parents not have to cut letters out of cardboard at one in the morning. 😉
