STINK is turning 10!

In this birthday event kit, you will

find all of the activities needed to have

a stinkin’ good time with Stink fans,

from crossword puzzles to trivia . . .

and even a treasure hunt.

So let’s get ready to stink it up!

DID YOU KNOW?

• Stink is a leapling. That means his actual birthday is February 29, leap-year day.

• Stink made headlines when he was only a minute old — because he was born in the backseat of a Jeep on the way to the hospital.

• Megan McDonald’s birthday is February 28. Happy birthday, Megan!

Our stinky friend is turning ten this year! To celebrate this outer-space-obsessed, vertically challenged, super-sniffing genius, throw Stink a big

birthday bash in your store or library on Saturday, February 28, 2015.

Stink’s Cross-the-Solar-System CrosswordStink and his friends, aka

Captain Pluto and the

Underdogs, are cuckoo for the

solar system. They’ve been

reading space facts until their

eyes cross. All that eyeball

crossing led to Sophie of the

Elves creating this crossword.

Need some extra help? Crack

open Stink: Solar System Superhero

and you might find some

answers in Stink’s Solar

System Comics.

6. Made of gas (hardee-har-har).

8. Smells like a giant rotten egg! P.U.!

9. Its Great Red Spot is a storm that has raged for 300-plus years. Argh!

10. A face-melting 840 degrees on the bright side!

ACROSS

3. Sometimes in a belt. Sometimes on its own. Either way, look out!

4. The ring-around-the-rosy game of any planet, moon, or other revolving thing in space.

5. This ice giant has a surface temperature of minus 300 degrees. Brr-rrr!

7. No fair! Kicked off the planet list! Dwarf planet? Come on!

11. This blue planet keeps busy (and dizzy) with thirteen moons.

12. Gravity about a third of that of Earth. A great place to play basketball!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO GATHER

• Readers (any number will work) • Treasure Hunt Sheets A and B • Treasure Hunt Posters • Pencils • Prizes — small jawbreakers,

scratch and sniff stickers, bookmarks, or scented pencils

TO PREPARE

Print Treasure Hunt Sheets A and B for each reader playing the game.

Print and cut out the Treasure Hunt Posters that follow along the dotted line. Color the jawbreaker image yellow.

Hang the Treasure Hunt Posters in tricky places in your chosen room.

Gather a container of pencils.

TO PLAY

Give each reader Treasure Hunt Sheets A and B and a pencil. Instruct them to search for Stink’s treasures on posters in the play area and to fill in the name of each treasure on Treasure Hunt Sheet B when they find it. When they have found all the items, they can unscramble the first letters of each item to find the word that finishes the sentence about Stink’s dreams on Treasure Hunt Sheet A. (The answer is N-A-S-T-Y.)

Optional: present each participant with an individually wrapped jawbreaker.

but they give Stink

sweet dreams!

STINK’S TREASURE HUNTPlayer InstructionsEveryone knows that Stink is a super smeller. Even

blindfolded, Stink can sniff the difference between stinky

cheese and week-old pizza!

You may not be able to sniff out Stink’s treasures, but you

might be able to find them hidden around the room using

your good old eyeballs.

Look for pictures of Stink’s treasures hidden throughout the

room. Fill in their names when you find them on Treasure

Hunt Sheet A. Then take the Extra Smelly Challege below!
