Not only are we building snowmen for Frozen, we’re eating them, too!
While we made a snack tray for Frozen 2, we wanted to do something a little more wintry for frozen.
This snack is sweet, easy, and as my oldest said: “For poop, this actually tastes good!”
You’re welcome for that.
Ingredients:
– 3 C of Kix cereal
– 6 to 10 oz white melting chocolates
– 1 to 3 C powdered sugar
Directions:
– In a large bowl, follow the directions on your chocolates to completely melt them until nice and smooth when stirred (no bumps).
-‘Stir in your Kix and powdered sugar, alternatively adding them 1C at a time until you have them as coated as you’d like them to be.
* If mixture gets too difficult to mix, you can coat a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lay out the mix to help disburse the chocolates and powdered sugar better. This also makes any extra powdered sugar appear as “snow.”
That’s it! You might have some snow that appears a little yellow I’d not mixed quickly enough, so just remember this is the only time that eating yellow snow is ok!
“Yes, some things never change, like the feel of your hand in mine. Some things stay the same, like how we get along just fine. Like an old stone wall that will never fall, some things are always true, some things never change- like how I’m holding on tight to you.”
Some Things Never Change, Frozen II
Our Frozen fun had to be some of my absolute favorite. I love Frozen II, and putting all the things together to make it even more magical was a challenge I happily accepted from my dragons.
We started by making Sven Antlers for a craft. Super simple and something that they could color and then wear around as long as they liked. While we used card stock, I would suggest using foam if you have it so the antlers can last even longer! However, then they won’t get to color them like we did.
To go with our movie-viewing, I decided to make a charcuterie board. This is a favorite movie-time-munchies tradition in our house for just about any movie. It’s an easy way to have snacks readily available so there’s no pausing to get something else, or maybe getting frustrated because one certain someone (see: middle dragon pictured above) keeps saying, “I’m still hungry!” The snacks are all in one spot, mostly healthy, and easily in arms- reach.
I took the beginning of the movie as inspiration for this. A spring-harvest board that also went along with Frozen II was easy to assemble with snacks/fruits that are in season. Grocery stores are still stocking Frozen II themed things (like fruit snacks and yogurts), so I snagged some of those, too!
After watching the movie, I had our very own Frozen II board game ready to play! This “Do The Next Right Thing” themed candy land-esque game is an absolute favorite. The dragons continuously ask to play it, and I have to admit I’m extra thankful! If you do all the cutting/gluing/etc- it can be time consuming to set up. However, it is so, so worth it. There are also other ways to play (easier, that don’t involve as much printer ink or cutting)! Check out the post with the details here.
After all this was said and done, the dragons still kept asking if I had more planned. Which, let’s be honest, is affirming and tiring all at the same time! If you want more Frozen II fun, you can always check out Disney Family for a Frozen II memory game and/or maze printable.
What is your favorite thing from Frozen II? I think mine is when Olaf sings “When I Am Older”. I laugh way too hard every time I hear/watch the song. Olaf is such comedic relief, and this song in particular really hits home right now. I mean- does any of this make sense?
“This will all make sense when I am older. Someday I will see that this makes sense. One day, when I’m old and wise I’ll think back and realize that these were all completely normal events.”
When I Am Older, Frozen II
Don’t forget to like and share our Disney fun on social media!
Reindeers are better than people… and in Sven’s case, I’d say that’s true.
When watching either of the Frozen movies, Sven is always a favorite in our house. I thought it would be nice to let the dragons pretend to be their favorite reindeer for our Frozen II day.
This is easy to print, color, cut, glue, and wear! If you have card stock or foam, I highly recommend making a more durable option that will last longer. If you don’t want to color and just want to print full-on brown, I’ve included that option as well. The extra strips are to make measuring it around your children’s heads easy. Plus, more to color (if you go that route)!
My dragons really wanted to color them instead of just printing in color and putting them on. We used our Cricut to cut them, but with other things I’ve had them enjoy cutting them out on their own!
I personally think Frozen II is better than the first. When watching them back-to-back, my oldest dragon came to agree with me. There are many positive messages surrounding family, love, and doing the right thing. Great lessons for all ages to learn and be reminded of.
If you haven’t been able to watch Frozen II yet, it’s not streaming on Disney+! We scooped this up on a digital before that happened, but I am so thankful that Disney is giving the people little extras and incentives with their streaming service during this time.
If you don’t have Disney+, I can tell you it’s 100% worth it for any Disney fan (big or small)!
