‘Pom Pom’s Birthday’ A Fun Writing And Drawing Activity (4 years +) - Activity Pack

'Pom Pom's Birthday' is an engaging activity pack designed for children aged 4 years and above, which combines creative writing and drawing to celebrate the special day of a lovable dog named Pom Pom. This six-year-old canine understands the concept of birthdays, anticipating the tradition of presents on the coffee table. The pack includes a calendar with a prompt to ring Pom Pom's birthday date in June, and a sniffing game where children match Pom Pom's guesses to her wrapped gifts, which include a new bed, a bone, a teddy, a lead, and a pack of tasty treats. The activities are designed to be interactive and fun, encouraging children to think about what gifts a dog might enjoy and how they would react to them.

The festivities continue with a snakes and ladders game themed around Pom Pom's birthday, where players help her open presents by landing on starred squares. The game is a playful way to teach patience and turn-taking, as Pom Pom's people cleverly give her one gift at a time to prevent her from tearing through them too quickly. Children are also prompted to draw Pom Pom's happy face and label her favourite teddy, describing why it's special to her. The narrative takes an unexpected turn when the naughty dog arrives and grabs Pom Pom's new toy, leading to a series of interactive choices where children decide what happens next. The activity pack wraps up with a conversation between Pom Pom and the naughty dog, a carob birthday cake celebration, a look back at Pom Pom's puppyhood, and a reflection on her feelings towards her presents and the naughty dog, tying up her birthday story with warmth and forgiveness.
