Mouse & Friends Party

I hosted this event at all my libraries last summer as our final event of the season before I took a much needed break. 

The event started with a storytime. Here's that outline: 

• Listening Song: “If You Want to Hear a Story”
• Book: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff
• Flannel Board Activity: If You Give…
• Book: If You Give a Pig a Party by Laura Numeroff
• Activity: Animal Movement Cards (Juni Printables on Teachers Pay Teachers)
• Book: If You Give a Cat a Cupcake by Laura Numeroff
• Flannel Board: Ice Cream
• Activity: Dinosaur Movement Cards (Cassie @ 3Dinosaurs.com)
• Book: If You Give a Mouse a Brownie by Laura Numeroff

After storytime there were games and a craft.

We made Party Pigs. This idea was inspired by Pinterest, but I couldn't find a resource link.

We played Keep It Up with balloons. 

We went on a Mouse and Friends Scavenger Hunt. 

Finally, I sent the kids home with lots of activities. They are listed below. 

• Sweet Stories (If You Give a Mouse a Cookie)
• What’s a Party without Cake? (If You Give a Pig a Party)
• Color Cat’s Cupcakes (If You Give a Cat a Cupcake)
• Make Your Own Sweet Story (If You Give a Dog a Donut)
• Beyond the Brownie (If You Give a Mouse a Brownie)
• All the above are from https://mousecookiebooks.com/.
• Suggest a Title… (Created by me)
• Why Does Mouse Get to Go Everywhere? (Created by me)

154 people attended my four parties. Of the 154, 94 were children. A very successful event that I will definitely repeat in the future. If you're interested I previously blogged about this event back in 2013.
