Where's Waldo? (Pandemic Edition)

Every summer, independent bookstores and their communities partner to put together a Waldo scavenger hunt, complete with a party and prizes. It's a pretty big deal, and a whole lot of fun. This was to be our first year participating, until Coronavirus put an end to all things social, and our finding Waldo ended before it even began. While we will miss having you search for Waldo throughout The District, we are excited to have you help us provide Waldo with adventures in all sorts of fun places!

Waldo's publisher, Candlewick Press, has put together a pile of tools to help bring the Waldo fun back to life for the summer, and we're all in for it! 

For  the rest of the summer we'll be doing "Waldo Wednesdays." Each Wednesday will come with a new challenge and a new way for kids and adults to have fun with our beloved traveler. 

Each challenge will be posted on our Instagram and Facebook pages on Sundays, from July 19th through August the 30th. Simply follow the instructions for the week and comment on each post with your entries. At the end of the summer, we will have a prize drawing. The more times you enter, the better chance you have of winning!

If you would like to be involved, shoot us an email at mail@skylarkbookshop.com and we will send you everything you need to get started! Then you’ll just have to add the imagination! We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Spread the word!
