A Very Happy "Unbirthday"


Ellie has recently become obsessed with Alice in Wonderland. Driving into work this morning I thought of a fun activity related to the story. If you familiar with the story, you know that Alice happens upon the Mad Hatter and friends celebrating their “Unbirthdays”- it is a zany celebration and Alice starts out having fun, but soon becomes exasperated by their non sense chatter and logic.

On the next rainy, nothing to do day, I think I will surprise Ellie with an “Unbirthday” Celebration. Really, it is just a glorified tea party- but throw in the zany song, and some reverse logic and I think it will produce a heap of giggles.

If you have the book or movie, try it with your kids. Read the book or watch the movie together and then the next day, surprise them with an “Unbirthday” party- a memory maker I’m sure!

If you need a copy of the movie, you are welcome to come and get it….. please… ;)
