Fall is a magical season filled with crisp air, colorful leaves, and the perfect excuse to indulge in cozy family activities. If you're looking for a delightful way to spend an evening with your kids, consider hosting a themed dinner and movie night centered around the beloved children's book, "Room on the Broom" by Julia Donaldson. Get ready to embark on a spellbinding adventure combining creativity, delicious treats, and quality family time. I love everything about chili! The beans, meat, toppings like sour cream, cheese, and a side of rice, even though Mommy says to put the chili on top of the rice--I like mine on the side. Mommy made the chili in her cauldron (crockpot), and it smelled so good. I also like making mummy hot dogs to eat with my chili. You take a hot dog, wrap it with the dough, and then bake. It's so yummy and easy to eat. (Written by my 7 year old kiddo PK) Invitations:
Build anticipation by crafting invitations that mirror the book's enchanting theme. Include whimsical language and imagery, inviting your little guests to join a magical journey with the characters from "Room on the Broom." Dress the Part: Encourage the children to dress up as their favorite characters from the book, whether it's the friendly witch, the cat, the dog, the bird, or the frog. This adds an extra layer of fun and immersion to the experience. Themed Dinner: Create a magical menu inspired by the characters and events in "Room on the Broom." Here is an example menu: Witch's Brew Punch: A non-alcoholic, fruity punch with floating ice cubes shaped like stars or broomsticks. Wizard Hat Sandwiches: Use cookie cutters to shape sandwiches into wizard hats made with kid-friendly ingredients. Broomstick Pretzels: Dip pretzel rods in chocolate and add bristle details with small strips of licorice. Magic Potion Cupcakes: Decorate cupcakes with edible decorations resembling potions and magical spells. Movie Time: Settle in for the main event by screening the animated adaptation of "Room on the Broom." Ensure you have a comfortable viewing area with blankets and pillows for the kids to snuggle up in. As the enchanting tale unfolds, encourage interaction by providing small props related to the story, such as toy broomsticks or stuffed animals representing the characters. Craft Corner: After the movie, engage the kids in a craft activity inspired by the book. Make mini broomsticks using craft sticks and twine or create witch hats using construction paper. This hands-on experience allows kids to express creativity and create a keepsake from the magical evening. A Room on the Broom-themed dinner and movie night is the perfect way to infuse a touch of magic into your fall family activities. Combining a captivating story with delicious treats, creative decorations, and interactive elements, you help create lasting memories that your children will cherish. So, gather your little witches and wizards for an enchanting evening of fun, laughter, and togetherness! |
