Trivia Game below....

Midi is "We're Off To See The Wizard" from The Wizard of Oz movie.

Cast of Characters:

Brownielocks is Dorothy
MaMa Bear (Brenda) is The Scarecrow
PaPa Bear (Barney) is The Tin Man or Woodman (He got powered to look white.)
Baby Bear (Billy) is The Cowardly Lion
ToTo is a stuffed animal.  The Wicked Witch of the West's legs are stuffed  stockings.
We really had no clue how to add The Good Witch of the North or

Wizard of Oz Trivia Game
