We know that you may be attending from home while juggling work, family, and the festival. We’d love for everyone around you to participate in MozFest, even the little ones! Not only will that allow you to attend the sessions you’re excited about while their hands are busy doing something fun, but it will also introduce the fun and creativity of MozFest to your entire family.
Below, you’ll find resources for a variety of ages (from 3 years old to 12 years old). Pick and choose what works best for your children’s interests.
In true MozFest fashion this children’s book is not just a book. It’s purposefully designed to be – collaborative, participatory, and inspiring. It’s a canvas. You’ll find space on every page for do-it-yourself illustrations, bringing the concepts to life by drawing, painting, or writing whatever comes to mind as your child reads the words. Print this book, then grab a pencil, crayons, paint, or any other art
supplies you desire for your children to draw and create on each page.
There are also discussion questions on every page to draw out thoughtful conversations between you and the child processing these internet health concepts.
Discover Foxy and robot coloring pages, connect-the-dots, origami, draw your own comic, create your own game board, and more in these custom designed, just-for-MozFest activity books! Download and print the pages you want from home. There are pages for a variety of ages and skill levels.
Talking with the next generation about how they perceive and interact with our online world is an important step to helping them develop language and digital literacy skills. Download these table topic conversation starters to hear all about the creative ways your family thinks about our virtual lives.
Sustainability Tip: If you want to print these cards, print as 6 pages per page to save paper.
Are your children up for some fun MozFest challenges? You and your family can choose one or all of the festival-inspired Art, Builder, Writing, and STEM challenges, meant to bring the MozFest creative spirit to your home. You can adapt these challenges for any age and can use materials you have at home to build, create, and get inspired!
