I think this weeks movie night and crafts/activities were everyone's favorite to date! Matt usually falls asleep during our movie but not this week.
I try to coordinate books, a craft and a treat with our movie or theme for the week. This week was Robots to go along with The Iron Giant
First we dug through our recycling for Robot parts! Then we cleaned each of the items and painted them silver. Then we let our painted pieces dry and set them aside for later in the week.
Friday we made our Robot treats. We built Robots out of marshmallows and candy. I tried to make things a little easier on myself and grabbed some store bought icing to use as our glue. It didn't work as well as homemade royal icing :( but it was good enough and the kids didn't seem to mind. If we were to make these treats again I think I'd buy the giant marshmallows and be sure to make royal icing at home for glue.
Our finished yummies
Jason
Ava
I made one too :)
Next Matt helped us assemble our Robot. The kids got to each take turns using the hot glue gun to put the Robot together.
The kids named him Lucianna Jason
They loved the movie The Iron Giant. Ava said her eyes got "watery".
I cried a little too. :)
