We had a party to celebrate our love for Babymouse! The event was one hour long and open to grades 1-7, and we asked participants to register so that we could be sure to have plenty of supplies. At the beginning of the program, we talked briefly about the book series and I introduced the activity stations. For the remainder of the hour, we moved freely between stations. Everyone had a chance to do every activity, if they wanted to; some decided to focus on one or two activities, repeating them several times.
Two stations were inspired by Extreme Babymouse:
One last station was the book display; every last Babymouse book was checked out by the end of the program!
Two stations were inspired by Extreme Babymouse:
Pipe Cleaner/Craft Stick Snowboarder
Make a Flying Skier (STEAM!)--
this activity was very popular, and we found ourselves measuring and trying different configurations in no time.
Cupcake Wrapper Challenge, inspired by Babymouse: Cupcake Tycoon
(use cupcake wrappers and a variety of art supplies to make anything your heart desires... we had flowers, butterflies, necklaces, monsters, and lots more)
Make-Your-Own Mouse Ears (of course!)
I provided a template, felt, glue, and scissors, and participants were welcome to add their own creative touches or create something totally different.
After making their ears, Babymouse fans stood in front of the white board to pose with Babymouse herself. Photo op!
We also set out coloring sheets and fill-in graphic novel pages from the Babymouse website. These were popular during the program, and a lot of attendees took sheets home, too.
