How to use Children's literature You can use the different parts of this toolkit individually or combine the Pippi party kit with Little library and Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA).
In 2025, our beloved superhero, Pippi Longstocking, turns 80. During the anniversary year, Swedish foreign missions can use the Pippi 80 celebration material to create events that inspire everyone to be more like Pippi.Pippi 80 party kit includes fun games, decorations, and materials to arrange a celebration for children and families. The Pippi 80 cutout board offers a playful photo opportunity, while the exhibition posters showcase Pippi’s story and values. Ready-made social media posts make it easy to share the celebration online. To make the party even more special, additional products can be ordered to bring Pippi’s world to life.
