Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory  Movie Kit: Pickup begins

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Movie Kit: Pickup begins

Registration is required. See below for pickup details.. This event is designed to be done at home while watching "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," the 1971 version. The movie is NOT included with the kit. There will be some cutting and assembly required before playing.


We're providing the goodies and the fun for you to plan your very own family movie night! Each kit will include a script to follow along with activities throughout the movie, gizmos a plenty to make the fun interactive, and a snack or two for good measure.

March Movie description: A sweet boy from a poor family dreams of finding one of five golden tickets hidden inside chocolate bar wrappers which will admit him to the eccentric and reclusive Willy Wonka's magical factory. One after another, tickets are discovered by ghastly children - but will the lad find the last remaining one and have all his dreams come true?. The screenplay was adapted by Roald Dahl and David Seltzer from Roald Dahl's classic novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.(rated G)

After registering, your kits will be available for pickup March 15th through 20h in the lobby of the Mason Public Library during their scheduled pickup hours. You must pick up your kit by March 20th or it will be released to those on the waiting list. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is available to check out from the library's DVD collection or you can watch or rent it on streaming platforms for under $5.

PLEASE REGISTER ONLY FOR THE NUMBER OF KITS YOU NEED, which may not be the number of people watching. For example, a parent assisting one young child but not using their own seperate kit should only register ONCE for one kit. A family with two people who each need kits should register two people. A family of five who wants to watch and play together should register FIVE people.

There are many actions listed in the script. Prereaders will need help.

You must pick up your kit(s) from the lobby of the Mason Public Library by March 20th. Pickup hours are listed below. On March 24th, any remaining kits will be made available to those on the waiting list. I will send out an email on March 22nd notifying the waiting list folks about pickup times and how many unclaimed kits are available, first come, first served. Masks are required for pickup, please.

Note to those on the Waiting List: We usually have only a dozen or so unclaimed kits on 3/24, so... We will send an email  with links to instructions and printables for a DIY home version to all those on the waiting list once all the kits are picked up. Many more families are registering than we have kits and we hate for anyone to miss the fun!
