Pokémon Go Fest 2021 is taking place July 17 and 18 with millions of fans joining the most epic gaming weekend . Players who buy the discounted ticket can look forward to amazing bonuses including, easier time finding shinys, collecting a new legendary Pokémon, Meloetta, catching a Pop Star or Rock Star Pikachu, exclusive Pokémon drawn to an incense such a Unknown G and Unknown O, 10,000 extra points in raids on Sunday, Over 5,000 PokéCoins’ worth of items, and so much more! This will be a weekend to remember for all involved.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For fans who can’t buy the ticket, no worries. Players around the world can still take advantage of the event by catching during each habitat, getting 1/2 walking distance on eggs, a special research, cool background graphics, and event music. There is something for everyone in this five year anniversary Pokémon Go Fest!

This year the theme of Pokémon Go Fest is music. When the event starts, players will be required to select a Pikachu: either Pop Star Pikachu or Rock Star Pikachu. The Pikachu we select will change the background music to an electro pop or Rock ‘n’ Roll and we will also receive a new pose featuring inspired by the music selection. The music has been created just for this event and should be awesome to listen to.

To celebrate Pokémon Go Fest 2021’s musical theme, I have created two coloring pages featuring the Pikachu’s in their music fest costumes. However, instead of picking either the Rock Star or Pop Star, fans can download, print, and color them both.

Fun Luca Printable Coloring Pages and Activities

Welcome to Portorosso, the most charming sea side town you will ever find. All are welcome…unless of course, you are a sea monster. Disney/Pixar have released a new coming of age animated feature call Luca. Luca is a sea monster that dreams about the surface and all that it contains. When he meets Alberto, a fellow sea monster that lives like a human in the human world, Luca takes the plunge out of the water to learn what the world has to offer. Streaming now on Disney+, Luca is an imaginative and colorful story.

SPOILERS BELOW

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While I love the art and characters in the movie Luca, I can’t say I really like this coming of age story. The idea that a child must run away from home in order to find himself is really quite horrid. I get that there are prejudices on both sides making it hard for a child to develop and find himself, but the act of running away just because one disagrees with their parents is not something I can condone or endorse. Running away is a very hard and tragic leap for all family members involved. With so many runaways never found again and families left to their own imagination on what could have happened to their child, it seems rather callus to make such a story. There are many different ways for a child to discover who he is with supportive parents in this curious world. I wish Disney could find a way to write one of those stories.

I am happy that the prejudices on both sides are identified and worked through as a community in the end. Thankfully, the kids find a path everyone can agree on and that the parents discuss what is best for their child’s future. We have Luca following his dreams, Alberto finding an accepting and loving home, and an entire community learning that not all sea monsters are monsters and sea monsters learning that not all humans and monsters. Unfortunately, it took a runaway scenario to make this change happen.

I think, before parents let their children watch Luca, there should be a quick conversation. Sit the kids down, explain the theme in the movie, but also explain that this is fiction; running away will not solve their problems. This will allow them to communicate their feelings and let them know that they can always talk to their parents and get help when needed. Every single human being on this planet has been through the ‘who am I stage’, and many of us are still there. This is common, this is normal, and there are people who can help when it gets tough.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In honor of the release of Luca on Disney+, Disney has released a fun activity pack for fans to download print and create. Featuring Guilia, Alberto, Luca, and other characters from the film, this activity pack is fun for the whole family.

Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookie Recipe

Thanks to Disney’s Facebook Page, fans are getting epic recipes that are fun to make and delicious to eat. This weeks recipe is inspired by the littlest Incredible, Jack-Jack. Everyone knows Jack-Jack has a thing for cookies; they are his num nums. Well these num nums become yum yums for us now that Disney has released the awesome Num-Num Cookie Recipe by MaryLou Jaso., a Pixar Pastry Chef.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To begin the process of making Num Num Cookies, I suggest collecting all the ingredients together and separating them into small bowls. It helps keep track of all the ingredients, so that no ingredient is forgotten. A forgotten ingredient means these cookies will not be num num.

Ingredients needed:

  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Step 1: Brown Butter and let it cool until it begins to solidify

Step 2: Cream butter, sugars, and salt in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy

Step 3: Mix in whole egg, Egg yolk, and vanilla

Step 4: Combine dry ingredients. Then slowly mix the dry mixture into the butter-sugar mixture

Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips

Step 6: Scoop into balls and chill thoroughly. At least one hour, preferably overnight.

Step 7: Bake at 350F for 7-10 minutes until golden brown on edges but still soft in the center.

Step 8: Enjoy the num nums while looking fabulous darling. Always look fabulous.

To get the recipe click the image below and save the PDF to your computer. Then collect the ingredients, follow the directions and make delicious Jack-Jack Num Num Cookies. Be sure to look fabulous while doing so. And as always, no capes are allowed in the kitchen.

Create The Perfect Shark Week 2021 Party with these Fun Printables!

Shark Week starts July 11, 2021! That means it’s time to get ready for a blockbuster summer with new jaw dropping shows on Discovery and Discovery+. This year the shark programming will feature celebrities including, Robert Irwin, William Shatner, and many others who will be diving into the water for extraordinary shark adventures.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shark Week has shared the lineup of episodes for Shark Week featuring their all new shows. Some of the episodes sound amazing and I can’t wait to watch them. For example:

  • CRIKEY! IT’S SHARK WEEK will start Shark Week off with a bang as Robert Irwin dives with his first ever Great White Shark, This sounds like it could be amazing and informative since the Irwin’s tend to be more informative while also being entertaining.
  • MECHASHARK is about building a metal shark to see if scientists have indeed found the mating region of the Great White..
  • Since I am a crazy fan of all of the Sharknado movies, THE REAL SHARKNADO (wt) is also on my list to watch. The actors come back and talk about the fiction and realistic possibilities of Sharknados.
  • RETURN TO THE LAIR OF THE GREAT WHITE promises to be very informative since everything we know about the Great White Sharks could be changing.

Looking at the calendar, there are also a few I more than likely won’t be watching since I am not a fan of the celebrities featured in those episodes. Thankfully, Shark Week has a variety of episodes that cater to many different Shark Week fans. Use the Calendar below to find which episodes you will be watching.

To celebrate Shark Week 2021, I have created a couple of party printables fans will need to create the perfect Shark Week Party. The printables include, cupcake toppers, cupcake wrappers, Shark Week coloring pages, and a printable treat box. Simply click the image below and save the PDF to your computer. After the file has been saved, print the cupcake toppers, and treat bag on cardstock, print the coloring page and cupcake wrappers on regular paper., cutout the items, and create by following the instructions.

Pokémon GO Fest is All About Music!

Pokémon Go is celebrating their fifth anniversary by selling the Go Fest Tickets for only $5! That is 66% off the cost of the Go Fest ticket last year! Go Fest 2021 will be a music fest where fans can choose a Pop Star Pikachu or a Rock Star Pikachu. The Pikachu we choose will dictate which music plays during the event. There will be a rock-and-rolling track for Pikachu Rock Star fans, a high-energy electro-pop song for Pikachu Pop Star tans. Guess who wants some rock n roll.

Go Fest is a 2 day event starting July 17. There will be a ton of special Pokémon, special researches, and new Shiny Pokémon (I can’t wait to get a shiny Whismur and Chimecho). Fans with the ticket will also get the adorable Mythical Pokémon Meloetta, (insert fan girl scream here). To learn more about the GO Fest 2021, go to the official Pokémon Go Fest website. There we can read about all of the events, specials, and habitats. It will also help fans decide if they want to buy the Go Fest ticket. With it being 66% off, I don’t think many people will say no. Either way, players will be able to catch some awesome Pokémon and have a blast during the Go Fest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last year, Go Fest had several free printables that fans could download, print, and create, including the iconic Gift Papercraft and Pikachu Visor. I have included the printables below since the webpage that contained the Go Fest printables no longer exists. I can’t wait to see what Niantic will provide for our celebration this year.

To get the printables click the images below and save the PDFs to your computer. After the files have all been saved, print the files and follow the instructions to create. These can work for your next GoFest party or any Pokémon party!

On October 1, 2021, everyone’s favorite spooky family is back in the animated comedy sequel, The Addams Family 2.

Their adventure across America takes them out of their element and into hilarious run-ins with their iconic cousin, It, as well as many new kooky characters. What could possibly go wrong?

I’ve also included the YouTube videos provided by UHU to help make these crafts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pikachu Bookmark

This Pikachu bookmark craft allows fans to create their own unique bookmark by gluing two yellow rectangles together and then gluing all of the lightning bolts to the rectangles.

Pokémon Crown

Get ready to celebrate with this fun Pokémon crown! Simply Glue the bands together then glue the pokéballs and Pikachus to the band. Be sure to let dry before wearing.

Pokémon Memory Game

The printable Pokémon Memory Game is like most memory games, except in this case you have to print and create the cards by printing the pages on cardstock, cutting out the squares, gluing the backs to each square, and letting the squares dry. Then turn the squares face down and start playing.

How to Play:

  1. Turn all the squares facedown (Pokémon side down) on a flat surface
  2. The first player flips over two squares. If they match, the player keeps the pair and it is the next players turn. If they don’t match, the player turns them face down once again and it’s the next player’s turn.
  3. The game keeps going until all pairs have been collected
  4. the person with the most pairs wins.
    TIP: to make sure there is a winner remove one pair to remove the possibility of a tie.

Pikachu Picture Frame

Do you have a great picture to display but can’t find the perfect frame? Look no further. Display the happy scene with a happy Pikachu. A little printing, cutting, and gluing will make an awesome frame for most occasions.

Pokémon Party Decorations

Celebrate a party with these decorative banners/bunting featuring some of our favorite Pokémon. Print, cut, and glue around a string to make the decorations. After the decorations are dry, hang where you want.

Wish Dragon Printable Party Kit and Fun Activities

Here is a question we all have thought about growing up. If we had three wishes, what would we wish for? Would it be a big pile of money? Fame? Power? For Din, in Netflix’s new movie Wish Dragon, this question became a reality when he is given a magical teapot, which contains a Wish Dragon named Long. All of a sudden, he could have whatever he wanted.

Warning: There will be spoilers below

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To Long’s surprise, Din didn’t want money, fame, or power. All Din wanted was to reconnect with a girl named Li Na, whom he knew from his childhood. Granted, his path to seeing Li Na was anything but easy. There were kung fu master bad guys, a father who was trying to save his business and lifestyle, a mother who wanted Din to get his head out of the clouds and be realistic, and a Dragon who thought people only wanted gold..

These complications led to several hilarious events that made me laugh uncontrollably. For example, when Long turns into a dragon costume to hide Din and Li Na from the bad guys , I thought, ok that’s funny. But then, when Long and Din start fighting the bad guys who are also in a dragon costume, I lost it. The tears from laughing were making it hard to see every hilarious moment in this scene. And the audience’s reaction as they were watching the fight was priceless! I watched it several times just to see everything.

There are a lot of laughter moments throughout this film as the main protagonist, the Wish Dragon, Long, learns and grows. Along his path, Long learns about interesting new technology and snacks the world has invented while he was locked away for 1000 years. One of my favorite scenes is the Shrimp Chips. Must be peasant food…or delectable deliciousness.

Long also learns an even larger lesson, more important than all the Shrimp Chip in the world. He learns the meaning of life, how family, friends, and helping others is far more important than a pile of riches. In fact ,Long sacrifices himself to help Din achieve his ultimate goal of reconnecting with Li Na. Long’s growth, I think, is the ultimate journey in Wish Dragon and it’s a wonderful story.

Along with this amazing story line, Wish Dragon is also really well made. Directed by Chris Appelhans and produced by Aron Warner, Chris Bremble, and Jackie Chan (yes, the one and the same); this team created an outstanding visionary masterpiece. The colors, the scenes, and even the background images engage, amaze and capture the eye of all it’s viewers. I believe Base Animation studio succeeded in their goal of making a “world class animation in China for China… and the world”.

Because I love Wish Dragon so much and knowing that there are going to be other fans out there, I decided it needed a party kit. Whether it’s to celebrate a movie night, or a birthday party, I wanted this Party Kit to be fun, colorful, and useful. With 15 printable items, I hope this kit will be enjoyed by all. It contains:

  1. Cupcake toppers
