Call a council of the kingdom of Avalor
Our own activity ideas inspired by the story — for drawing, toys and telling stories aloud.
- Call a meeting of your toy kingdom’s council. One resident asks for a bridge, another for a garden, a third for a school. Decide what to build first and explain why you chose that order.
- Draw a festival that different townspeople are getting ready. Each of them takes charge of a favorite job, and the princess helps bring everything together into one program.
Talk about it together: How do you pick the first job when three residents each want something different? Who can help you decide?
