Dinosaur Movie Night

We started our movie night at the park after school with friends where the kids did a dinosaur dig and played with some dinosaur bubbles







Movie snacks, fossil cookies and dinosaur claws




Décor





Dinner was dinosaur nuggets, dino eggs and a salad for the herbivores







Volcano cupcakes for dessert



We played dinosaur bingo with chocolate rocks and rock candy as prizes







For a craft the kids built glow in the dark dinosaurs

Lisa, I love your Wreck It Ralph movie night!!! You're an inspiration to us all! I have to ask, do you watch the new movies before your family viewing to get ideas for food?

Have to!! LOL We saw this one just once in theaters so it was a little harder to remember but between the Internet and Pinterest, it all came back to me.

Thanks for the compliments guys! We're not going to WDW this summer (well, I went for a "mommy vacation" last month WOOT! but we're not going as a family) so I want to start up our movie nights again to keep the spirit alive.

Not sure if this fits in here, (or if its already been discussed - did a quick scan and didn't see), but does anyone have any ideas on some fun stuff for a Teen Beach Movie viewing night?

I just raided my Dollar Tree last week for a Lilo & Stitch movie night in the future. They had tons luau stuff!

Hmm....the movie theater...think anyone will notice if I'm sitting through new Disney movies with a notebook frantically taking notes?! Hahah....my husband would be so embarrassed

We are planning a night to watch Beach Party sing a long. I'm going to buy cheap inner tubes and bring our playroom TV/DVD player outside and have our own dive in movie. My husband says I just need the TV far enough that it doesn't all in

We did our first movie night and it went pretty well!! We watched Lion King 1 and 1/2 (less scary) and then also Lion King on another night. I have a 3yo ds. No pics...didn't take any . Some I got from here and some I came up on my own. Thanks for all the great ideas. It went well and she really enjoyed it!!! Because we were doing two movies some activities and snacks had to go on the second night.

Snacks:
Rafiki Berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries). We watched movie at this time.
Banana pudding with animal crackers
Rafiki sticks (pretzel sticks)

Meal:
Lion Pasta - Angel hair noodles tossed with chicken bouillon, italian seasonings, garlic, oil, etc.) and put two drops of yellow food coloring on each serving (made it look yellow (pasta base color) and orange). In the center of each serving put a small cut of french baguette made to be garlic cheese bread. Made lion face on each one using peas and sliced green beans (for ds) and roasted red peppers for the mouth for us.

Savannah Grass - Very thinly sliced zucchini and yellow summer squash (tossed with olive oil, salt, peppers)

Wildebeast - Leftover rotisserie chicken

Jungle Water - Lemonade with crushed (frozen) raspberries

Dessert:
Gooey logs with a satisfying crunch - Slice a banana (with peel on) put mini marshmellows, choco chips, and pretzels. Wrap in tin foil. Bake at 350 for 10 mins. Each with spoon!

Activities:
Listened to African music during meals and indoor activities
Safari outside - Hid animals outside and let her use the binoculars to find them and gather them
Face paint - Painted face like tiger (got stuff at AC Moore)
Animal charades - Used animal cards and acted them animals out
Went to zoo and looked for the animals we saw

Monster's University

We kinda had a Monsters weekend Started out Friday night with the movie, which we all loved!



Since we were already out past bedtime we decided to hang out a little longer and treated ourselves to frozen yogurt!



On Saturday we started the day out by doing the Monster's U craft at Lowes. They made a cute chest, the kids had fun building it!







Back home we had our Monster's U lunch

Décor, I printed out the composites of the fraternities and sororities in the Scare Games and I bought a poster at the movies the night before. The poster has Planes on the other side so already got something for our Planes theme night when it comes out in August





Lunch, monster burgers and Monster's University mac and cheese







Dessert was Mike and Sulley cupcakes, I made these for our Monsters Inc theme night a couple of years ago. My DS wanted to decorate them so I let him have at them, thought he did a pretty good job!



After lunch we made Monster's University ID badges and played a game that I had printed out from online.









The next day we went to the Disney Store where my DD picked up 2 of her favorite characters from the movie!

Becc1, your Monster University party looked like a lot of fun! Where did you get the green monster plates? We are planning a MU birthday party and those would be perfect.

 

[Jkpark]

Target $1 bins have Monsters U stuff right now. The party looked great. I also let my kids decorate out cupcakes. We had a similar weekend. We had our cupcakes Thursday night and watched Monsters Inc, went to Monsters U Friday and Lowes on Saturday.

I did get the plates and water bottles at Target! I saw some cute stuff at Party City the other day too!

So awesome Becc1! We took DD to see the movie on Monday for her birthday. We liked it but Grace didn't like the screaming parts. Heh


Our air conditioning broke again in the middle of the night last night. So we are going over to the in laws to watch Toy story 2 and probably spend the night.

 

[rjgtwilliams07]

Awesome Monsters night! Especially loved the burgers! We're doing Snow White this week. One of these days I'll get pictures uploaded...

 

[Dittz]

Thank you Becc1. I admit I totally stole your idea. We are going to the drive in tonight to see Monsters U so I made your burgers and ID cards!!! Thank you for a wonderful idea. (Btw: this is the first time I have made activities and such to match our movie-looking forward to doing more and more elaborate ones as our count down to Disney next year)

 

[PookieB]

Our menu. I misspelled galactic. :/ The punch was Blue Hawaiian Punch and lemonade. So good!

Last night we watched Toy Story 2 and had leftover pizza, baked potatoes at Mr. Potatohead's Bar and peas.

We hung some planets and made our Pizza Planet sign.

DD wearing her Jessie hat!

DD also had a Hamm costume from school. They did a Toy Story play.

We made rocket ships.

Next movie night!

We have 21 Weeks until Disney so we're having a movie night tonight....Snow White! And since I'm so new to the boards, I can't post pictures until I have 10 posts. So I thought I would share our Menu to help boost my posts.
Inspiration came from these boards, just tweaked the ideas to fit more my little eaters.
Snow White Night:
Pretzel wrapped Smoked Sausages with Cheese
Cabbage (coleslaw, but just calling is cabbage sounds better)
Potatoes
Apple Pie

Also got some craft store jewels so the kids can mine for jewels while we watch the movie.
