"Turn your Stroller Into
it's Own Ecosystem."

If you have a little one who does well in a stroller,
why not let them enjoy the parade from their very own
chariot? Transform your stroller into a marvelous
work of art that will make your parade experience
fun for both you and your young artist.
Just show up with you and your stoller!

Children are encouraged to come,
although kids under 4 might want to bring two adults.

 

 

Make your own Mask

Imagine yourself as an amazing insect,
animal or sea urchin...
Start with a basic head structure or mask
to wear in the parade using cardboard, plastic
and fabric, bring bike helmets, baseball caps,
hooded sweathirts or other hats
to use as a comfortable base!!

 

 

Drums, shakers
and other fun
musical inventions


Come join the fun and MAKE  your
own percussion instrument
Bring buckets, empty plastic bottles or
cardboard tubes  to decorate,
lots of ideas & examples for  shakers
Make your bike or stroller keep the beat
how about a drum roll .....

 

 

 

 

 

Creeping Creatures

Make tails, wings, feet or heads.
Create shapes and wearable
costumes ready to decorate at home.
Bring old clothes to attach wings
or tails, claws or paws.

 

 

 

 

Banners

Create your own banner to carry in the parade.
