Winnie-the-Pooh Day is celebrated every January 18th (author, A.A. Milne’s birthday). Here are some ideas for celebrating Pooh Day at home or with friends:
–Read Winnie-the-Pooh and House at Pooh Corner
–Find a stream and play a game of Pooh Sticks
–Build a house of sticks for Eeyore
–Follow animal tracks and see if you can catch a Woozle
–Play Pin-the-Tail on Eeyore
–Make honey cakes, honey lemonade, or pass out honey sticks
–Serve foods like carrots (for Rabbit), pita pockets (for Kanga and Roo), beverage labeled as “Roo’s Strengthening Medicine” (for Tigger), etc.
–Give guests “B” and “HB” pencils, standing, of course, for “Bear” and “Helping Bear”
–Go on an “expotition” to find the North Pole
–Decorate with a map of the “100 Aker Wood” and other illustrations from the books
–Decorate with at least one big blue balloon
–Wish everyone a “Very Happy Thursday!”
–Hang a sign on the bathroom door that reads, “BISY BACKSON”
–Hang an Eeyore tail by the door and this sign: “PLES RING IF AN RNSER IS REQIRD.”
–Hand out Winnie-the-Pooh quizzes to test people’s Pooh knowledge. The winner gets an empty pot with a broken red balloon inside.
If some of these don’t make any sense to you, re-read the books. =)
