Only parents know that panic that sets in when your child reminds you that Book Week is happening tomorrow. Suddenly, you are scrambling to turn cardboard boxes and glue into a somewhat recognisable character. But this year, popular children’s entertainer Emma Memma and creative technology company Cricut are here to make life a whole lot easier, while also supporting a truly wonderful cause.
Emma Memma has partnered with Cricut to launch a brand-new collection of licensed images in Cricut Design Space to help you breeze through school events and birthday parties.
Welcome to the Jungle Picnic
Inspired by her recent Jungle Picnic Tour and the interactive new lift-the-flap book, Hide and Seek!, this digital collection brings Emma Memma’s whimsical world straight to your crafting table. The image set features all the fan-favourite characters, including Emma Memma herself, Elvin Melvin, BB Butterfly, and Waffles the Wombat.
Alongside the characters, the collection includes playful picnic-themed illustrations like sandwiches, birds, baguettes, and little ants. It is the perfect toolkit for parents and teachers looking to create custom birthday decorations, classroom games, or those last-minute Book Week costumes.
In fact, Emma Memma recently showed off just how easy it can be by designing her very own DIY Jungle Picnic Rug costume using a Cricut Joy Xtra. It proves that you do not need to spend hours at a sewing machine to create something your kids will absolutely love.
Crafting for a Meaningful Cause
While making cute outfits and custom party decor is fun it’s important to remember that every single time a Emma Memma Jungle Picnic design is used, the proceeds go directly to the Deaf Connect Leonie Jackson Memorial Fund.
This not-for-profit organisation is dedicated to ensuring that all Deaf children have access to quality bilingual education, no matter their language preferences. Emma Memma and her co-performer Elvin Melvin (played by Deaf performer Elvin Lam) have long been passionate advocates for Australian Sign Language (Auslan). This new collaboration is another fantastic way they are championing inclusivity and visibility for the Deaf community.
Impressively, Emma Memma has made history as the very first global Cricut Contributing Artist to donate all of her earnings directly to a not-for-profit organisation.
How to Get Started
Cricut has built a massive global community of over eight million members by empowering everyday people to create professional-looking personalised items. Whether you want to create a fun memory game for a rainy afternoon or you are still trying to figure out what your child is going to wear for their school parade, the Emma Memma image collection is now live.
