A palooza is a fun, creative, inspiring, free (or nearly so) parent-instigated activity quickly taken over by kids that always turns into an entertaining and secretly educational adventure.
Actor and author John Lithgow is a palooza expert, having created a different one for every page of this calendar. Each is a sure cure for any kid's boredom. John Lithgow has received two
Academy Awardr nominations, four Emmy Awards, two Tony Awards, and a Golden Globe. He is best known for his roles in TV's 3rd Rock from the Sun, in such films as The World According to Garp
and Terms of Endearment, and in the Broadway musicals Sweet Smell of Success and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Paloozas are aimed primarily at kids ages 3 to 12 and range from adopting your own
soup can for a day to inventing a secret language to creating a self portrait.
