PrincessTigerLily,
Thank you for the compliments to both me and my kids. I will pass them along

Movie - Pinocchio

Menu - Stromboli's Pepperoni Stromboli
Cleo Cake http://kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/rec...ecipe_id=91921

Activity - Puppets naturally! Make paper lunch bag puppets for each of the main characters in the movie (Pinocchio, Geppeto, Jiminy Cricket, Stromboli, Blue Fairy, Monstro, etc.)

Pepperoni Stromboli recipe
1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
3 T brown mustard
1/4 lb pepperoni, thinly sliced
1/4 lb mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 375. Unroll dough onto a large baking sheet and flatten into a rectangle. Layer the mustard, cheese, and pepperoni on the dough within 1/2" of all edges. Roll up from the long side and pinch the seam to seal. Seal the ends and turn seam-side down. Bake 25 minutes until golden brown.
Serves 4.

Movie - The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

Menu - Chicken tenders and fresh vegetables with Pooh's honey mustard dip
Rabbit's honey glazed carrots
Pooh's MuddyPuddle Pudding (chocolate pudding)

Activities - If you live near a bridge over water, go play Poohsticks!
Pooh's Big Red Balloon Pinata (use a balloon, newspaper strips, and watered down glue. Dip strips in water/glue mixture and lay on top of balloon, covering completely for a couple of layers. Leave to dry completely. When dry, cut a small square out of the pinata to pop inside balloon and also stuff with goodies. When filled, patch over hole with paper or cardboard and paint with acrylic paint. When dry attach a string to balloon bottom. *Note: the drying is time consuming, and you would probably do best to start the project the day before you want to play*

See next post for dip and carrot recipes

We pull out the model train and set it up around the Christmas tree (he loved trains) and set up our Disney themed smaller tree in the dining room.

I know this is not really the same thing as the other posts--but it is a fun evening.

Awww that is really nice. What a wonderful thing to do for a man that gave so much happiness!

Movie - Hercules

Menu - Greek salad with red onions, feta, and Kalamata olives
Spanakopita (Greek spinach pie) http://www.recipegoldmine.com/worldg...anakopita.html

Activities - Make your own Olympic medals (wide width ribbon, cardboard circles, tin foil)
Backyard Mount Olympus Course (an obstacle course that coordinates with the personalities of the Gods; hammer a cardboard lightning bolt for Zeus, Discus throw with a frisbee for Herc, Primping in front of a mirror for Aphrodite, running through hula hoops with a messenger bag for Hermes, etc.)

[PrincessTigerLily]

ChrisMouse, great ideas! I really love that dessert idea!

[PrincessTigerLily]

Movie - Finding Nemo

Menu - Fish sticks
Mac & cheese, sprinkle top with Goldfish crackers (looks like Nemo in anemone!)
Crush's chocolate wave cake (recipe from Coral Reef at EPCOT)
http://www.luxurydisneyguide.com/rec...tewavecake.htm

Activities - Paper plate Dory (cut a triangle out of the plate for Dory's mouth. Paint or color the plate blue. Cut out 2 triangles, one small and one large, paint or color yellow. Use the small triangle for Dory's fin, and the large for Dory's tail.
Turn your family room into an ocean of jellyfish! Buy a bunch of pink helium filled balloons. About 2/3 down the balloons, tape lengths of pink crepe paper to create jellyfish and let them float in the room!

These are the best ideas!!! Thanks everyone.

Movie - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

Menu - Spaetzle and sausages (can find spaetzle in your freezer section usually)
German soft pretzels (see link for recipe below)
http://www.heritagerecipes.com/Germa...20Pretzels.htm
Snow White's Apple Pie (see link for recipe below)
http://www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/p...-apple-pie.htm

Activities - Bob for apples!
Eat an apple on a string! Tricky! Tie a string to the stem of an apple, and try to eat it without using your hands!
Mine for the Dwarves jewels: Fill a large plastic box with dry rice and hide plastic jewels throughout. To pan for jewels, use an aluminum pie tin and poke holes in them large enough to drain rice and retain jewels.

baloo's girl, glad you are enjoying these! Everyone is so creative! Side note: how are you faring after last night's storms? My aunt lives in Arlington, TN and said it was a rough night!
