Kids and parents can have a blast with the Simon Fun Lab Tour, rolling across 20 malls nationwide in October and November. Simon Malls’ Fun Lab tour offers families a fun and immersive experience with popular kids’ brands. The interactive events feature activities hosted by Simon, PBS, Care Bears, and Strawberry Shortcake. Families can explore the engaging themed Fun Zones featuring activities for kids of all ages.

PBS Fun Zone

Kids and parents can explore the newest digital apps from Wild Kratts and Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, get up and moving with the Curious George’s Monkey Jump game, and play with the newest PBS Kids toys.

#ShareYourCare with the Care Bears

CareBearsKids can make their very own Care Bears Belly Badges. Once they make a badge, they can get their picture taken and post it to the #ShareYourCare wall. There will also be sneak peeks of new Care Bears home entertainment from Lionsgate and cuddly Care Bears plush from Just Play.

It’s a Berry Good Time with Strawberry Shortcake

When kids visit the Strawberry Shortcake friendship bracelet making station, they can create one-of-a-kind bracelets for their closest friends. The Bridge Direct’s line of Strawberry Shortcake toys and previews of the new Strawberry Shortcake DVD from Fox Home Entertainment will also be on display

Game Zone

Families can play Corn Hole, Plinko, Spin Wheel, and other strategy thinking games for the chance to win prizes or just for some family-friendly competition.
