#CampWarnerBros – Week 5 – DIY Teen Titans Character Banks

by Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post for Camp Warner Bros featuring Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans and a fun DIY Bank activity.

This week is another fun one for us. We love Teen Titans and I love sharing my love for it with my son. He helped me make popcorn to watch the movie together because he was so excited when I told him that we were going to watch Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans.

The movie was a huge hit and I just couldn’t hold back the smiles and my laughter because my little guy is at that age where he gets really into the movies and he will jump up and act out the scenes. It was just so cute watching him try to jump and kick like some of the characters.

Teen Titans DIY Character Banks

I don’t know if your children are like my son, but he just loves collecting coins. He currently has one full bank and has confiscated my Wonder Woman bank as his own. (Yes I know we should cash in all the coins, but he really doesn’t want me to empty the banks.) Since he loves banks I knew he would be excited to make one of his own.

I am posting the directions below You can click the link here to get the full Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans Character Banks PDF file.

We used cheap spray paint from Menards (getting an 11% rebate for the purchase) and chose to use Modge Podge in the spray can instead of the paste version. I found the spray adhesive to be much easier to apply to the jar. I also had my husband cut the hole in the lid because I was worried I would cut myself while doing it.

#CampWarnerBros – Week 4 – DIY Scooby Snacks

by Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post for Camp Warner Bros featuring Scooby-Doo!: WrestleMania Mystery! and a fun DIY Scooby Snack recipe.

I can already tell you that this week of Camp Warner Bros is going to be my son Raiden’s favorite week of camp. That is because he is a huge Scooby Doo fanatic. He loves Scooby Doo so much that for his 3rd birthday we had a Scooby Doo themed party. The idea of watching a new Scooby Doo movie and getting to make a DIY Scooby Snack just means it will be all he talks about for awhile- and I’m okay with that!

Raiden saw the new Scooby-Doo!: WrestleMania Mystery! movie downloaded to our movie platform before I could even surprise him with it which means we watched the movie before making snacks. This isn’t a problem because I expect him to ask me to watch it at least half a dozen times throughout the week.

DIY Scooby Snacks

Let’s make Scooby Snacks! Thanks to Camp Warner Bros you can follow the instructions below to make your own Scooby Snacks at home. We decided to get creative like suggested and we added sprinkles to our Scooby Snacks. This was a huge win in our home because my little buddy, Raiden, loves sprinkles. He loved getting to add the sprinkles to the mix.

He always has avoided helping make anything like this because it is messy to make, but I convinced him to help me even if we had to remove his shirt and keep explaining to him that it is okay to get a little dirty, especially when the results are a sweet treat!

It’s Party Time!

Now that you have made your DIY Scooby Snacks it is time to get ready for the movie! If you have a little one who just can’t sit still through an entire movie then I have the perfect something for you. In addition to the Scooby Snacks I also have two fun coloring pages for your kids. Just print these pictures out and you are ready for a fun filled night of Scooby Doo time!

Keep following on here as well as on social media for even more fun activities with Camp Warner Bros because we are only half way through Camp!

#CampWarnerBros – Week 2: DIY Crystal Gem

by Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post for Camp Warner Bros featuring the week 2 Crystal Gem activity and Steven Universe: The Movie.

This week at Camp Warner Bros we got our hands on a new movie called Steven Universe: The Movie! This week I decided we would do things a little different. Instead of doing our activity before watching the movie we watched it first!

By watching the movie first we were able to talk about the activity of the week! This week’s activity happened to consist of masking our own homemade Crystal Gem Candy. Since my son hasn’t heard of the characters before I thought it would be good for him to get to know them in the movie and then he would be able to decide which color crystal gems he would like to make with his Crystal Gem Candy activity.

Above you can see the instructions on how to make your own Steven’s Universe “Crystal Gem” Candy. We followed the rules and I seeded all three of our strings to try to help speed up the process. However we still don’t have a finished product so I am moving our jars to the counter in hopes of helping speed up the process.

Raiden decided that he wanted to make Blue, Red, and Green Crystals because those were some of his favorite characters in the movie. (Yes I know there are only 4 Crystal options but who can tell their 4 year old no when he wants to make 3 of the 4 crystals?)

Keep watching my social media channels to look for updates on our Crystal Candy experiment!

#CampWarnerBros – Week 1 – Super Hero Week

by Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post for Camp Warner Bros featuring a super hero themed week.
I’m so thankful that Camp Warner Bros has chosen to do a Super Hero themed week at camp this week because my 4 year old recently started getting into super heroes and actually knows a few different super heroes. This weeks movie is LEGO® DC: Shazam! Magic and Monsters!
  • Super hero

    • We haven’t watched many super hero movies with our son, but this movie was a great introduction to the world of super heroes! He was able to learn about some major super heroes and start picking out a favorite or two from the movie. This of course meant that mom just had to buy him some super hero action figures!

    He just loved playing with his new a Batman, Flash, and Shazam action figures while mom was prepping everything for our fun adventures outside for the day. He even asked to watch the movie again for a second time that night. We of course popped some popcorn and had a blast cuddling on the couch!

    Check out the super hero training video that Warner Bros released!

    Reliving a Piece of my Childhood Through the new Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch

    by Leave a Comment

    This is a sponsored post. I was given a copy of Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Blu-Ray combo DVD in exchange for my promotion of the movie.

    If you are a child of the 80’s or 90’s then you probably grew up watching The Grinch cartoon movie every year like I did; now while I was always emotionally tied to the characters making it hard for me to watch the movie as a child I still would watch it with my family. Now as an adult I love the movie and the story behind it. I no longer get upset or scared while watching the movie.

    Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch

    I am thankful that my son enjoys the movie. His first introduction to it was with the Live Action Grinch movie and this past Christmas he was gifted the original on DVD so that he can share the joy of this movie with his Aunt Sarah. She was very excited to share the moment with him.

    That is why I know she would be pleased to learn that he is also loving this new rendition of Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch. If you didn’t get to see this movie in theaters like me then you will want to get your hands on the DVD.

    Buying Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch

    This new movie can be bought in either 4K Ultra HD or Blu-Ray; both of these come bundled with the DVD version, & a digital copy of the movie. This means that you can upload a copy to stream digitally and have one for in the home as well as one for in the car (if you have movie screens in your car for the kids).

    Bonus Features

    • Yellow is the New Black – Before they all make their big escape from prison in Despicable Me 3, a couple of lucky Minions get a taste of freedom as they break free with the help of one of their fellow human inmates.
    • Dog Days of Winter – Max braves the harsh winter weather and an uncooperative Who to being a sick Grinch his favorite hot tea.
    • Santa’s Little Helpers – Fan favorites — the Minions — are back for another adventure! Having been accidentally dropped off at the North Pole, our Minion pals make the most of the situation by trying to become elves.
    • And so much more!
