On October 8, the library held a “Movie Afternoon” where we showed the movie Tangled. Though it wasn’t well attended (and made me, once again, question having programs on Saturdays) I did have two girls show up and they were very excited. I decorated the meeting room fairly simple and just covered a few tables with bright purple fabric. I served Kool-Aid from a “crystal bowl” (just a pretty plastic punch bowl) and had cookies available on a platter. The kids were most excited by the popcorn though and I went through two bags of it. The girls watched Tangled and ate their snacks and when it was over we started on the crafts. I had made a few banners based on the sun symbol from the movies:

The girls really enjoyed coloring them and made some of their own from the construction paper I had laying out on one of the tables:

They also hung some of the printable activities that I found HERE. The kit comes with several ideas for activities the kids would enjoy and even has things that you can print pre-made. After the girls hung the banners they made, we played “Pin the Frying Pan on Flynn Rider.” I forgot to take pictures of them actually doing it, but the idea is the same as this:

Finally, I let them take their pictures as “Frog Princesses”:

On the way out the door, I had a display of “Princess and Fairy tale Books” for them to check out. They also got to take home the lanterns they made (using THIS pattern) and some color sheets. All in all, it was a successful program even with few attendees. Our “How to Train Your Dragon” program was much more successful. It had almost 25 attendees and they had a blast!
