Activities:

• As we waited for everyone to arrive, we did an "Invent Your Own Imaginary Creature" worksheet. Go to the Imaginary Veterinary Activity Kit (made by the publisher) and scroll to page 7.
• We ate snacks we read about in the book: kiwi jelly beans and pudding cups with whipped cream and sprinkles.
• We played bingo using a board I made by scanning in pictures from the book. I'm not posting it here in case that's a copyright issue, but I'd be happy to share it with others for personal use. We used buttons as bingo markers. (I got a pack from a craft store.)
• We made sasquatch catching kits based on the items included in the kit the kids had in the book. I got plastic sandwich containers from the Dollar Tree, and the girls wrote "Sasquatch Catching Kit" on the lid in sharpie. Then I handed out a little booklet that was Dr. Woo's Guide to Catching a Sasquatch. (I just typed up the words from the book and then made it so the text went into columns in a way that the pages were about 1/4 of a sheet of computer paper in size. I had strips of construction paper cut to be about double that size in length so the construction paper could fold over the front and back to be a front/back cover and then had the girls staple the cover on and write "Dr. Woo's Guide to Catching a Sasquatch." They added that to their kit along with a mini chocolate bar, a "tranquilizer dart" (dart from a Dollar Tree dart game), net (a big net in the summer decor at the Dollar Tree, and I cut it into smaller pieces), "fog bomb" (this was hard so I just painted pingpong balls from the Dollar Tree green and hot-glued on a little string), whistle (I ended up with little recorder-type whistles from the Dollar Tree), and a certificate. The girls "earned" items for their kits each time they got bingo in the bingo game.
