Classic!!!!</p> <p>That sounds so fun, I think we should add fun snacks to our periodic movie nights!!!! (I've been itching to make s'more bites again. Lol). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1064226 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 09:25:42 +0000 regberadaisy 1064226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to update that movie night was a big hit! We even did it again the next night and watched Back To The Future! </p> <p>I suspect it was the blankets/pillows on the floor, air popped popcorn and homemade s'mores. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1046240 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:20:16 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1046240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: How fun!! ET is a great one. You're such a cool Aunt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1046075 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:43:20 +0000 regberadaisy 1046075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>We're going classic and watching E.T. tonight. DH thinks 6 year old (almost 7) nephew will be fine.</p> <p>We're going to make home made popcorn with fun toppings and homemade s'mores!<br /> Pushing our coffee table out of the way in the family room and throwing blankets and pillows on the floor. Should be fun! I'm going to head to the farmer's market at lunch to see if there are fun snacks to pick up. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1045052 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:34:19 +0000 808love 1045052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Incredibles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1044679 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 15:57:58 +0000 GrapeCrush 1044679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: ahh I love the brave little toaster! SIL and BIL got me a copy of it on DVD for Christmas this past year :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1043836 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:02:00 +0000 lisa1783 1043836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG - ET scared the bejeesus out of me when I was younger. I remember watching it on tv and just being so scared of ET. </p> <p>What about The Jungle Book - the boys might like that? I just googled Children's Films and here's a good list: </p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_children" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_children</a>'s_films </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1043784 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 10:39:01 +0000 runsyellowlites 1043784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Willy Wonka &amp; the Chocolate Factory! (older one of course)<br /> Iron Giant was a favorite for a long time in our house.<br /> The Brave Little Toaster (the first one... not the sequel. lol)<br /> Wizard of Oz<br /> ET (might be scary for the little one?)<br /> Babe is always fun<br /> The Incredibles isn't a "classic" but is always fun!<br /> The Pagemaster is on of DH's favorites! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1043762 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 10:32:10 +0000 regberadaisy 1043762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: good suggestions!!! I don't think the boys will like Mary Poppins. I will have to see if they have watched E.T. yet because I think that will be a good one. And we have it on DVD I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1043757 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 10:30:34 +0000 pinkcupcake 1043757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Off the top of my head, I'm thinking - Mary Poppins, Lion King, Aladdin, ET, Homeward Bound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1043747 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 10:24:55 +0000 regberadaisy 1043747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: haha that reminds me that I bought this huge ceramic popcorn tub I hardly ever use. But I have individual brown bags to that they can use to shape up their toppings! :)</p> <p>Good call on the "classics" Hmmm...any suggestions? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1043742 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 10:22:33 +0000 pinkcupcake 1043742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fun! DH &amp; I always talk about how we can't wait to do movie night w/LO once she's older :) </p> <p>Are there any older classics that they haven't seen yet? </p> <p>Also, we have these little striped popcorn bags that I bought at party city that make movie night feel so much more festive! :) <a href="http://www.partycity.com/product/pink+striped+popcorn+boxes+8ct.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.partycity.com/product/pink+striped+popcorn+boxes+8ct.do</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1043717 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 10:16:25 +0000 lindseykaye 1043717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: Fun!! I would have loved that - another good topping is Parmesan Cheese. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1043699 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 10:10:50 +0000 Cole 1043699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about the movies but one thing my mom did when we were little was let us do a popcorn bar-- we put out lots of different toppings and tried them in small batches. It was a ton of fun and still sticks out clearly in my mind! I think we did cinnamon and sugar, cocoa powder and sugar, Old Bay spice mix, Lawry's seasoning salt and a few others. </p> <p>Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1043697 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 10:10:09 +0000 runsyellowlites 1043697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm I tried asking G, but he's all about superhero &amp; "boy" movies so that was no use. lol</p> <p>I googled some lists (since I couldn't remember anything we've seen off the top of my head)....</p> <p>We liked Wreck it Ralph alot &amp; I think it'd be great for both boys/girls, Escape from Planet Earth, Despicable Me 2 (don't know if it's out to rent yet), or even the first one... I think ANY Pixar movie is safe, and even some Disney classics.</p> <p>Maybe come up with a list of a few &amp; see if they can agree on something?.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/movie-night-for-kids#post-1043672 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 10:01:27 +0000 regberadaisy 1043672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thought it would be fun to do a movie night this week after LO goes to bed with my niece &amp; nephews.</p> <p>What's a good kid's movie that just came out on DVD, appropriate for a 9 year old boy &amp; girl and 6 year old boy?</p> <p>I'm thinking freshly popped popcorn and letting them each have a small bag of candy, their choice. Any other fun snacks that won't keep them up forever? ;) </p>
