For Earth Day on April 18th 2014, Disney is releasing a new Disneynature film about Bears. I am excited to see this one because They do filming in Alaska, which is my home state. I have seen my fair share of Brown Bears and to see them on the big screen is exciting. This film will follow a family of bears as they learn about nature and what they need to do to survive.

“In an epic story of breathtaking scale, Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure “Bears” showcases a year in the life of a bear family as two impressionable young cubs are taught life’s most important lessons. Set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop teeming with life, their journey begins as winter comes to an end and the bears emerge from hibernation to face the bitter cold. The world outside is exciting—but risky—as the cubs’ playful descent down the mountain carries with it a looming threat of avalanches. As the season changes from spring to summer, the brown bears must work hard to find food—ultimately feasting at a plentiful salmon run—while staying safe from rival male bears and predators, including an ever-present wolf pack. “Bears” captures the fast-moving action and suspense of life in one of the planet’s last great wildernesses—Alaska! Directed by Alastair Fothergill (“Earth,” “African Cats” and “Chimpanzee”) and Keith Scholey (“African Cats”), “Bears” arrives in theaters April 18, 2014, to celebrate Earth Day.” (Disneynature Bears)

Below are a few Printables that Disney has provided to the excited viewers, teachers and students. The bears educator material has over 90 pages with several lessons to help kids learn all about brown bears and their environment. I also found a few coloring pages with bears.

Back when Phil Collins was singing and making music, he made a song for Disney’s movie Tarzan called “You’ll Be In My Heart.” This song is still so beautiful and I listen to it when I play my Disney Playlist.

Not only is the music spectacular in this movie, but so is the story, characters, and art. Disney took a classic story and remade it into a fun, kid loving film. I mean who can hate gorillas that play the drums on pots and pans, or the quirky way Jane tries to get through life, or a crazy scientist Father who’s one liners just make you laugh? In all honesty, I liked this movie as a kid and still like it today.

Story
“With his wisecracking ape buddy Terk and neurotic elephant pal Tantor, Tarzan learns to survive in the animal kingdom. His “Two Worlds” collide with the arrival of humans, forcing Tarzan to choose between a “civilized” life with the beautiful Jane and the life he knows and loves with his gorilla family.” (Disney Tarzan)

In my search for Tarzan printables, I found that there are very few out there. Oh sure you can find some coloring pages, but activities are limited. I took it upon myself to make a couple activities that I think will be fun to complete. I made a Printable Memory Game, Printable Cupcake toppers that also double as stickers if printed on sticker paper, A Tarzan Maze, and A Which Path Activity.

These printables make awesome activities for the kids who need a little something to help get rig of boredom or they make great prizes. I have a friend that uses printables like these to give as a prize when all the chores are done or if they complete all their homework.

Feel free to save, print and create these printables. They were made to be fun for kids of all ages.

To make the cupcake toppers stickers, simply print them on sticker paper and cut out each circle. You can then stick them anywhere you wish. They also make great Party Favors to go along with the cupcake toppers. The memory game has instructions included.

I hope you enjoy these printables.

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter’s night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away, but she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman’s ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast, and placed a powerful spell on the castle, and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?

Above is the introduction to Beauty and the Beast, a love story, a tale that is as old as time. It is probably one of my favorite Disney princess Films (I know I say that about almost all of them) but this one, as a kid, I saw over and over again. I can repeat the movie word for word and I used to act it out with costumes in front of my family. When my parents took my brother and I on a road trip, he and I would pick a Disney movie, select characters, and then begin reciting the movie; Beauty and the Beast was often a favorite choice.

Below are some of my favorite Beauty and the Beast printables. Keep in mind there are tons out there, all you have to do is search “Beauty and the Beast printables” on Google and you will find several coloring pages and printables. Below are the ones I like the most and ones that may be harder to find for some people (especially the puppets). Go ahead and download the free printables, print and create. They are fun for kids of all ages, for the young at heart, and the Digital hoarder (like me :D).

Locked in a tower for 18 years because she had magic hair, Rapunzel desired to see the strange lights in the sky. When fate sends a thief to her window, she creates a plan for him to be her guide so that she can finally fulfill her dream. Flynn Ryder (Eugene) at first was way against it and attempting in every way he could to make Rapunzel change her mind. He even brought her to the Snuggly Duckling, hoping that the ruffians and thieves would deter her from her dream and give him back the recently stolen crown.

It turns out a dream is a hard thing to crush, as the thieves in the Snuggly Duckling so eloquently sing. Tangled follows Rapunzel and Eugene as they both learn that they each have a new dream and we as viewers can watch as others get the chance to fulfill their dreams.

The following printables are inspired by the Disney Movie Tangled.
