Simon, a global leader in retail real estate, is teaming up with the hit preschool series Julius Jr. to host an interactive brand experience for members of its Simon Kidgits Club® scheduled to be held at Simon malls across the country.
The television series, which airs on Nick Jr. in the U.S., follows Julius Jr. and his playful friends who use equal doses of imagination and inventive spirit to help each other overcome challenges big and small – teaching kids that the best inventions are the ones that help your friends.
The Julius Jr. experience at The Shops at Mission Viejo will take place on Saturday, September 13 from 10 a.m. to noon, on the upper level, near the Play Area. Kids and families are invited to step into the box and out of this world for a day of splendifferous Julius Jr. themed activities! Kids can get creative while making character masks to wear for a ‘Julius Jr. and friends’ photo opportunity. Guests will also have the chance to dance and sing along in the viewing area with screenings of an upcoming episode and Julius Jr. music videos.
“We’re very pleased to incorporate Julius Jr. into our Simon Kidgits Club programming this year,” said Patsy Sanquist, Director of Marketing and Business Development at The Shops at Mission Viejo. “Friendship and helping one another is an important value for kids to learn and practice every day, so the Julius Jr. message fits right in.”
The Simon Kidgits Club is a fun and informative program that focuses on health, wellness, education, safety and entertainment for children ages 3-8. The Simon Kidgits Club has kept children and parents alike amused for over a decade with various events and activities while providing incentives for club members, such as special offers, rewards and games.
