Coupons for Fall Family Activities: Save on Corn Mazes, Pumpkin Patches, and More

September 21, 2013 by Sandra Leave a Comment

Thanks to US Family Guide for the fantastic savings in this sponsored post.

I love the Fall.

It’s the season for cooler weather, apple picking, and pumpkin…everything. While this Fall is like no other, and it comes with the unpredictability of life right now, I’m still going to try to enjoy it as much as possible.

We’re actually hoping we can make it to a local farm to pick pumpkins and ~~torture ourselves with~~ enjoy the corn maze in the near future. David is going to have to wear a mask, and I’ll have to have hand sanitizer at-the-ready, so that we can avoid catching germs as much as possible. But we’re going to try to make it happen.

Disney’s PLANES: Printable Activities for Kids, Airplane Videos and Games

September 21, 2013 by Rachel Leave a Comment

This week I am bringing you really great links for Disney’s new movie PLANES! There are more printable activities for kids in addition to some fantastic Disney videos and online games.

Printables
This week help your child find Dusty’s matching pair in Match the Planes.

Then pull out the craft tees and the spray paint to create a Jolly Wrenches Squadron T-Shirt.

Click on the graphic below for both activities!

Videos

While your new PLANES apparel is drying, head on over to Disney’s FlewTube Videos. These videos are so great! There are a number of videos that include PLANES inspired recipes, clips from the new PLANES movie, and interviews with model airplane enthusiasts. You could literally spend hours on this site.

Leave it to Disney to create an appetizing smoothie with the word “mulch” in its title. The Vitamin A Mulch Smoothie looks crazy delicious! As do Dusty’s Rice Crispy Treats.

There are also a wide variety of paper plane video tutorials. I wish I had access to these tutorials when I was kid. All the other kids knew how to make super cool paper planes, as they show in the videos, AND they always beat my generic paper plane.

I have to say, though, that I have perfected my generic paper plane over the years and have since won several competitions as an adult. However, below is a link to one of the “fancy” paper planes that I am going to practice and save for my next competition!

In addition to the recipes and paper plane tutorials, you will find numerous clips of various plane facts. One of the video clips I found most entertaining showed the World’s Longest Paper Plane Flyer attempting to beat his own Guinness World Record for Longest Flying Paper Plane of 27.91 seconds!

You have to go check out the rest of the Disney’s FlewTube Videos. You and your kids will have so much fun discovering all kinds of fun facts and recipes!

Online Games
In these online games, you and your kids can help Dusty train and qualify for the “Wings Around the Globe” rally in Propwash Pursuit.

Then head on over to Jet Stream Racers to race in the rally and be crowned “champion of the skies!”

I hope you enjoy all of these fantastically free activities and videos from Disney!

Let me hear about your favorite FlewTube video!

PLANES: “Race to the Finish!” Printable Activities for Kids

August 19, 2013 by Rachel 1 Comment

The new Disney movie, PLANES, flew into theaters on August 9th. Who of you has already raced off to see it?

Disney PLANES Printable Activities for Kids
Today, we have more fantastic PLANES printable activities for your kids to enjoy! (If you missed the ones we posted prior to the movie’s big release, you can check them out here.)

Fly Dusty through some daring airplane maneuvers to reach his friend in the maze game, Race to the Finish!

Do you have a burgeoning artist or two in your ranks? Let them Design an Airplane, and then Create A Pilot’s License so they can “legally” fly their creation!

On your next flight be sure to pack your Airplane Bingo cards! Keep your eyes peeled for such items as an airplane wing, flight attendant, and peanuts. This should keep the kiddos occupied for a bit. Just be sure to prep them on how to quietly yell “Bingo!” (if that’s even possible!) or come up with a special code action such as flipping over an empty cup on their tray table.

I hope you and your family enjoy these great free activities!

Have you seen the new PLANES movie? How does it rank with your other Disney favorites?

Cadbury Ice Cream Bars ‘High Tea’ Party

August 9, 2013 by Sandra 3 Comments

A special thanks to Cadbury and MomSelect for the party kit I received to put together a fantastic tea party.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every little girl had the chance to experience a tea party at least once in her life? And wouldn’t having Cadbury ice cream bars at her tea party make it even more memorable?

I think so.

The ‘High Tea’ Party
I recently threw a tea party for some very special girls, and we had such a good time. The girls drank tea from adorable miniature tea cups, which they were able to take home to remember this party and to have for future tea parties of their own. They also wore elegant, fancy hats and enjoyed cold meat sandwiches for dinner.

TEA PARTY TIP: Cut sandwich bread into small triangles for a fun ‘old-fashioned’ tea party effect. The girls will love it.

Cadbury Ice Cream Bars
For dessert at our tea party, we delighted in Cadbury ice cream bars. These bars were the perfect ‘dainty’ size, and they were delicious.

I had four different kinds for the girls — royal dark chocolate, english toffee, caramello, and vanilla chocolate. English toffee was definitely a favorite.

DID YOU KNOW? Teatime is traditionally in the afternoon. We scheduled our party around 6:30pm.

A Confession
I’ve never thrown a tea party before, and I was a little nervous. But I think the girls truly had a great time, and I’m sure the fabulous hats helped. The girls each took their hat home, too. 🙂

Would you like to have a tea party of your own? I’m sure you already know that it’s super easy, but in case you need a little help…

Here are my 5 Tips for a Successful Tea Party

Plan your party.
Keep it simple. You may or make not want to have a teatime meal, like sandwiches.
Splurge on a set of cute tea cups. You won’t regret it.
Have a fun treat to go along with the tea. We had ice cream bars.
Laugh, and enjoy creating lasting memories.

All in all, I think both the moms and daughters had a great time at our Cadbury Ice Cream Bars ‘High Tea’ Party. I can’t wait to do it again someday!

Have you ever thrown a tea party? Is this something you’d like to do with your daughter?
