Skippyjon Jones Party

If you have never heard of Skippyjon Jones, I beg you, please run to your nearest bookstore or library and pick up a copy.  Skippyjon Jones is a rambunctious Siamese kitten who, with the help of his closet and his imagination becomes El Skippito, the great Mexican sword fighter and friend to the gang of Chihuahuas, Los Chimichangos… believe me, I could not make this up!

We recently celebrated this frisky feline at the library where I work with a night of fun for children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade.  We listened to the story on CD read by the author, Judy Schachner.  We learned how to do the Mexican Hat Dance and we used our imagination to color pictures of where Skippyjon Jones might visit next.  We also took pictures of the kids wearing a Skippyjon mask and a cape in their best superhero pose!

The Skippyjon Jones website has some great printables and activities that can be done in a classroom, in a library, or even at home!  Check it out!
