Celebrate Winnie the Pooh Day
Winnie the Pooh Day was created to celebrate the birthday of the creator, A.A. Milne. Realistically, Winnie the Pooh (and all his friends) were created from stuffed animals that Milne's son, Christopher Robin Milne, had as a child. Christopher Robin is also a character in the stories himself. Celebrate A.A Milne's birthday and Winnie the Pooh Day on January 18th.
Steps
- Think of how you can describe the characters' personalities.
- Roo, the joey, is always adventurous and curious about things.
- Piglet, the pig, is scared and timid when it comes to some situations, but can be brave at times.
- Tigger, the Watch Tigers in a Tiger Safari, is the silliest and hyper character. He'll bounce on other characters to wake them up.
- Winnie the Pooh, the bear, never forgets a pot of honey. He'll say that his pot is empty, but then confess that he ate it all.
- Eeyore, the donkey, is always sad and in a mopey mood.
- Rabbit is the smartest one out of the group. Everyone will come to him and find solutions to their problems.
- Owl speaks out his opinions about things and tells stories about his family.
- Watch Winnie the Pooh videos or catch episodes on television. A list of movies and other kinds of media can be found here. Sing favorite songs from the movies, such as the "Tigger Song" and the main "Winnie The Pooh" song.
- Cuddle and sleep with a stuffed animal of your favorite character. Put a small plush toy keychain on your bag or wallet. Little girls can have a Winnie the Pooh tea party. Have fun spending time with your plush animals.
- Draw your own house in the woods. Everyone lives in tree trunks except for Tigger and Owl who live in tree houses. What would you have in your house? What character would you let in your house every day?
Tips
- If you're hungry or want to eat something while watching movies, spread some honey on toast for more flavor.
- A cranky infant or toddler will probably stop or calm down if you sing songs to them. Bounce them gently on your knee while doing the Tigger song.
