Kids of all ages can embark on Dr. Seuss-inspired journey during special event
Come take a walk through the colorful, captivating world of Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax at Smith Haven Mall on Tuesday, August 7, 2012, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., in Center Court.
In celebration of the August 7 Blu-ray™/DVD release of The Lorax movie, Simon Kidgits Club® invites kids from the Long Island area to visit Smith Haven Mall for a celebration of non-stop family-focused festivities. Families are encouraged to get creative and enjoy an imaginative adventure by participating in the following Seussian-inspired activities, all taking place in a familiar Simon mall setting:
- Create and take home intriguing Truffula Trees, just like those featured in the movie, and a Lorax mustache to commemorate the charming creature.
- Visit a viewing area to watch The Lorax movie trailer, learn how to draw the Lorax through a bonus feature on the Blu-ray™/DVD and hear about how the Lorax speaks for the trees.
- Pose for a fascinating photo next to Lorax-themed standees, capturing the fun of the unique event.
Kids will also have the chance to participate in interactive offerings which are focused on preserving the environment and celebrating The Lorax’s meaningful plot. Young attendees can join the Pitch-In Recycle Game to learn about the benefits of recycling and get involved in the Seed of Hope activity to craft a Lorax planter. Before departing the event, all children will pledge to care for the environment and take home a certificate to honor their positive promise.
“Simon Kidgits Club’s The Lorax event aims to get families together to have some fun with Dr. Seuss and think about the movie’s messages about the environment. Simon malls strive to offer parents and kids the opportunity to enjoy unique activities in a place that’s not too far from home,” said Jayne Stilson, assistant vice president of business development for Simon Brand Ventures, the business-to-consumer division of Simon Property Group.
