Watch & Make: Winnie the Pooh Birthday Picnic

Watch & Make: Winnie the Pooh Birthday Picnic is at the Howson Branch of the Austin Public Library on Thursday, October 8, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM. It's a movie, snacks, and a craft all rolled into one, and the whole thing is built around Winnie the Pooh.

There's a bit of a double celebration going on here. The session is part of the Austin Public Library's Centennial Celebrations, a series of activities marking 100 years of the library as a place of learning, connection, and possibility. The library opened in 1926, so 2026 marks the century mark. Winnie the Pooh is also celebrating a 100th birthday, which is why the two are sharing the spotlight.

The afternoon is set up for two different age groups. There's a session for preschoolers aged 3 to 5, and another for older children aged 6 to 10, so you can bring kids from both ends of that range and they'll each have something that fits. The movie is the main event, and the snacks and craft fill in the rest of the time.

You'll find it at the Howson Branch, located at 2500 Exposition Blvd in Austin. It runs from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM on Thursday, October 8.
