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.

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 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. In this all new movie we find Morticia and Gomez distraught that their children are growing up, skipping family dinners, and totally consumed with “scream time.” To reclaim their bond they decide to cram Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester and the crew into their haunted camper and hit the road for one last miserable family vacation. 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?

To celebrate the announcement of the Addams Family 2 movie, MGM has released 9 kooky character posters for the 4th of July holiday featuring

• Gomez
• Morticia
• Wednesday
• Pugsley
• Granny
• Fester
• Cousin It
• Thing
• Lurch

All the characters are ready for their vacation in their own unique vacation attire and they are all unhappy to see us again. I personally love Lurch’s poster. Relaxation and sleep is the best. 🙂

UHU, a German company known for their glues, is getting ready for ‘Back to School’ by partnering with Pokémon. I think this is a fantastic way to help kids prepare for an all new school year. Fans can catch them all by buying glue sticks and other products featuring different Pokémon such as Eevee, Pikachu, Squirtle, Mewtwo, Growlithe, Bulbasaur, and more. Click the image below to fly over to the official UHU website and check out all of their new products.

In honor of their partnership UHU and Pokémon have created five amazing crafts that kids and/or adults can download, print, and create using their favorite UHU glue stick. These crafts come with the template, instructions, and video help if the paper instructions still don’t make sense. The fun crafts are:

• Pikachu Bookmark,
• Pokémon Crown,
• Printable Pokémon Memory game,
• Pikachu picture frame,
• Pokémon Party decorations. featuring several different Pokémon

To get the printables go to the official UHU Website and download the PDFs. If UHU no longer has the printable Pokémon Crafts, you can click the images below and save the PDFs to your computer. After they are saved, open each craft using Adobe Reader, print on regular paper, cutout all the parts, and follow the instructions to fold, glue and create. 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. Add the head and fans have their own Pikachu to keep their pages safe for future reading.. Be sure to let dry before use.

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.

Now that we can get Rock Dog 2: Rock Around the Park on Digital and DVD, fans can rock out with Bodi and his band whenever they like. This fun and adorable movie is available from most retailers including Amazon.com (affiliate link).

• Carboard and construction paper or craft foam
• Black Marker
• Glue
• Small box
• 6 rubber bands
• Scissors
• Guitar template

To get the template and instructions click the image below and save the PDF to your computer. Then print and create to start rocking around the park or the house.

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
2. Cupcake Wrappers
