Hero of the day!

Great activity utilizing imagination, problem solving, & fine motor skills. I recommend doing the prep work (below) once your child/children are in bed. That way the “bad guy” had all night to tie up the “good guy”. Don’t help your child- let them figure it out! They are the “Hero“, not you. You can remind them of this if they ask for help.

Here are some example ideas:

Thanks to my friend Emily, i was able to use some boy action figures & learned a little about them.

For younger kids- this is a great opportunity to use scissors. I was hoping my daughter would use them when saving Rubble, but she found it easier to just tear the paper off. She did need the scissors for the yarn knots on Chase and Zuma. The pipe cleaners she just untwisted. Defiantly recommend if trying this activity to have the bad guy figure too. She was very suspicious how Mayor Humdinger did this to the pups when he’s never been in our house. She knew i was behind it, but most older kids will. It’s still a fun activity!

Once one pup was free, my daughter had them help her free the other pups (see Chase above).

Enjoy & have fun! My daughter keeps asking to do this activity again- so i know it was a great activity! I see a witch tying up some Disney Princesses in our near future.
