How do you plant a meatball, and how do you trick a fox?
Are you like the restless cat that has a head full of ideas and wants to explore everything? Or are you more of a calm, eccentric lover of crafts who loves order and peace? The cat Findus invites you to a Children’s day!
On Sunday 31st May in Prague and Brno, you can look forward to a playful afternoon inspired by stories about the cat Findus by the Swedish author Sven Nordquist, who celebrates his 80th birthday this year. The afternoon will be complete with puzzles, matching pairs, coloring books or simple crafts. There will also be a book-blanket in the garden with books about Findus in Czech translaiton and a quiz for big and small readers. Younger participants will recieve a small prize for completing all the stations and they will be entered into a draw for a cool cat-themed tote bag.
You can come anytime between 13:00 and 16:00. The event will be held no matter the weather and is recommended especially for younger children accompanied by adults. Parents or station instructors can help the children with reading.
In Czech, but open also for non-Czech speakers.
