We’re going to start with a group game of Wizard Tag – like all good magical creatures. The Wizard holds a wand (it’s a pool noodle), chooses an animal + then runs around in a determined space, tagging others. The last person tagged is now the Wizard. I will bring supplies for this, mark out …

It’s cats! Bring a picture of your cat (if you have one), cat stuffies, cat masks – you know, just, alllllll the cat-themed materials – and let’s hiss together. Dress as a cat, if you wish. I’ll find some cat art projects, coloring or drawing pages to bring. If anyone else has something specific to …
