Disney Movie Night: Mulan

Last weekend's movie night was Mulan. 
I didn't really feel like making anything so we got Chinese takeout. 
It was so good!

Then the girls made paper lanterns and fans. 
They loved making them so much that by the end of the night I think we had at least 15.








Disney Movie night: Beauty and the Beast

A week ago we did our Beauty and the Beast movie night. 
We had a "French" picnic. 
Chicken salad on a big baguette, grapes, sparkling cider, and eclairs. 

Afterward, the girls painted on these paintings that have Belle, Aurora, and Cinderella.

Painted Shoes: Glass slippers

I wanted to make some glass slippers for our upcoming Disney trip. Maddy will be dressed in Cinderella's blue gown at the BBB. So I wanted something to match that would be comfortable. I painted these shoes light blue and added glitter. 
Then I glued these glass jewels all over them. 
It is hard to capture in the photos but they actually look quite pretty when the light hits them. 
I hope she will love them. 

Disney Movie Night: Aladdin

We had our Disney Movie Night for Aladdin just days before hearing about Robin Williams. 
We are so saddened for him and his family and for all of us that will miss him.
We are glad that he left behind so many wonderful movies that we can share with our families so that our kids will grow up knowing who he was too. 
For our movie night we had chicken and pepper kabobs, cous cous, 3 different types of hummus with flat bread, Jafar's so twisted fries, and Genie in a bottle drinks. 
For dessert we decorated our own magic carpets


Then we got out some trays I bought after our last sand activity (to try to contain the sand a bit) and the girls made charms with sand.





After that Abi built a Lego set that looks like it could have been Aladdin themed. And Maddy built a palace with her duplo's.


Disney Movie Time: Mickey Mouse

We had a mid week break with Mickey Mouse. (while Nemo looked on)
I got the Around the World DVD at Target and it came with this cute passport activity. 
I got the girls these Mickey themed snacks. 
It was really fun.

Disney Movie Night: Finding Nemo

We recently did a Finding Nemo movie night. 
We had fishsticks- I know that is so wrong and they were super gross. 
We also had mac and cheese, goldfish crackers, swedish fish, and graham crackers decorated to be the school of fish teacher with the fish on his back. 
Afterward we played Finding Nemo Go Fish.

Disney Movie Night: The Little Mermaid/ Sofia the first

A few weeks ago we did our Little Mermaid movie night. 
The movie stopped working a few minutes into the show and I couldn't get it working again so we ended the night with Sofia the first instead. We watched the episode with Ariel in it. 
So for food, we had oyster cookies...
We also had sand pudding and ocean kool aid

and little hot dog Ursula's.


The girls did sand art for the activity. It was SO messy.
