Dole and Disney Pixar Combine Forces for Monstrous Fun

Dole, the bringer of yummy fruits and veggies, has partnered with Disney/Pixar to bring us fun and games while we enjoy our delicious treats. We can print activities, make recipes with the family, and even collect banana stickers from Dole bananas that feature some of our favorite Disney/Pixar characters!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are like me, you are wondering, “What is a banana sticker game?” Turns out, Dole is putting our favorite characters on actual bananas via banana stickers. When we buy bananas, we can peel these stickers off and place them on the printable activity. There will be 25 different characters to collect, including: Woody, Buzz, Mike, Sulley, Nemo, Mater, Wall-e, Eve, and more.

The other activities included on the Dole Website are,

  • Monster cut outs to decorate fruit
    • The best way to overcome scary fruits and vegetables? By eating them! First have fun cutting out and creating your own monsters with fruits and veggies you have at home. Get creative (peanut butter?) and stick the silly parts to the item, and then have fun eating them. Just don’t forget to remove the faces first. Who says you can’t play with your food?
    • This craft comes with an interesting recipe, CHICKEN-STUFFED ROZ HEADS
  • A Monsters Inc flip game
    • Improve your memory and have fun learning about some exotic or misunderstood fruits and vegetables. These unique varieties may look scary at first, but they’re actually quite delicious. Cut out each square and put them face down to start the game. Take turns flipping each square matching the characters and the whole fruit or vegetable with its sliced-up version. Most matched pairs wins!
    • This Printable also comes with a fun recipe: MONSTROPOLIS WAFFLES.
  • Pixar Matching Game
    • Improve your memory and challenge your friends to a game of matching the Pixar characters and Dole fresh fruits and vegetables. Cut out each square and put them face down to start the game. Take turns flipping each square and finding its match. Most matched pairs wins!

about Mulan

Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the epic tale of China’s legendary warrior to life in Disney’s “Mulan,” in which a fearless young woman risks everything out of love for her family and her country to become one of the greatest warriors China has ever known. When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential. It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honored warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation…and a proud father.

Paw Patrol Jet to the Rescue Flight Goggles and Badge Craft

PAW Patrol: Jet to the Rescue is available on DVD today exclusively on Amazon! That means fans of Paw Patrol can now enter into a whole new adventure of rescuing friends by joining the pups in their high-flying jets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Like many of the Paw Patrol episodes, Jet to the Rescue focuses on helping preschoolers solve problems using teamwork, community, and individual skills. It highlights different types of characters and how their differences add to the solution.

The problem to solve in Jet to the Rescue is saving the town from the Duke of Flappington and the levitation gem. But with awesome Jet vehicles and the willingness to help others, a happy ending is ensured.

I find Paw Patrol Jet to the Rescue fun and enjoyable. I love the fact that they now soar through the sky. Also, I love the pink jet. We need more like that in real life.

While, real life pink jets are rare to find (if they exist at all), kids can still become a pink pilot with the new craft featuring Skye’s goggles and badge. Download the template by clicking the link below, follow the instructions, and imagine flying through the air in a pink jet.

Items you will need to make the craft:

  • Felt in shades of pink, gray and brown
  • Headband
  • glue
  • Scissors
  • Safety pin
  • cardstock

UHU Enters the World of Mario with Epic Printables

Uhu is getting ready for back to school with their brand new fun paper crafts featuring Mario, Peach, and Luigi! They ate available to download now on the UHU website.

About UHU
UHU is a German company known for their glues. If we need something to stick together, they got us covered. From domestic, to hobbyists, to professional adhesive needs, the large selection of glue provides several choices for specific projects. I personally have never used UHU glue, I can’t recall seeing it in stores in my area, but they seem to be a very popular brand elsewhere in the world. I mean they have been around for almost 100 years…perhaps I should order a stick and try it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My main interest for visiting their site is their occasional themed paper crafts they share during different times of the year. This time it is Back To School featuring Mario. Let me just say..EPIC! We can download Mario’s hat and mustache, Peach’s Crown, Mario, Peach, and Luigi banners, as well as a photo frame! Note: All crafts will require glue; they are provided by a glue company after all.

To make:

  • Download the PDF by clicking “Download” or “Get Started” on the UHU website or by clicking the images below.. The UHU website also includes build videos that are very helpful.
  • Print the PDF in color on cardstock or copy paper
  • Follow the instructions included in each PDF
  • Display and/or wear
Mario hat and mustache
Peach’s Crown

Along with their seasonal licensed character paper crafts, they also have a bunch of crafts of their own. They have a Jungle theme, Ocean theme, and much more. There are lions, monkeys, elephants, sharks, dolphins, and jelly fish, just to name a few.. All of these are still available to download here.

How To Throw an Are You Afraid of the Dark? Midnight Society Meeting

We got The Midnight Society Kit! With the release of Are You Afraid of the Dark? on DVD, I got the chance to get a Midnight Society kit featuring epic collectibles. Now it’s time to find out who in the family can tell the scariest story around the DIY campfire to claim one of these said collectibles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The opening letter states:

This box has been submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society…

Inside, you’ll find everything you need for you and your family to host your very own Midnight Society meeting: A glow-in-the-dark membership pin, a flashlight, a page of spooky story starters, and instructions for how to make your own “campfire” for indoor camping. For extra fun, we’ve also included a scarily delicious s’mores recipe and everything you will need to make your own!

After the opening letter, we pulled back the black tissue paper and found a gigantic bag of Jumbo Marshmallow. Yeah, these suckers are not just large, they are enormous and perfect for the delicious s’mores. The box also included a box of Graham Crackers and two melted chocolate bars. While the crackers made it just fine, the heat melted the chocolate bars into a liquid goo. With the summer heat and a long transit, the chocolates never had a chance. Let’s have a moment of silence for the poor innocent chocolate bars…of course, we could totally tell the scary story of the chocolate bar’s revenge… >:)

The poor, poor chocolate bars

The box also contained a really cool pin and flashlight. Since only one pin was included in the box, we decided the scariest story will win the pin. That way, each time we have a scary story night, the pin will change hands.

The Midnight Society Pin
The Midnight Society Flashlight

Unfortunately, the chocolate that came with the kit melted in transit. That happens in 100 degree weather. Luckily, we had Kit-Kat bars in the freezer! A good s’more needs chocolate so these were a necessity. We followed the recipe to make some delicious desserts with our own little Midnight Society twist. They are now the “Coffin S’mores”. I have shared the original recipe here.

Coffin S’Mores

Once the Coffin S’mores were ready to go, it was time to setup camp. We did our best to follow the instructions included but with COVID and the lack of paper towels in the stores, we had no empty paper towel rolls to make the fire. We did, however, have a few extra empty toilet paper rolls (amazing, I know), so we taped those together to form a long tube. From there it was a simple draw, cut, color, and tape to create a blazingly hot fake flickering fire. (Fire instructions can be found here)

We had a few friends pop on in to join the scary story night. They were very quiet throughout the night so I think they were only here for the marshmallows and the s’mores. I can’t blame them, chocolate is sooo good.

Baby Toothless and Baby Yoda enjoying the campfire

To create your own Midnight Society Meeting, I have included a small checklist of things you will need. It takes less than 10 min to make the campfire and everyone can be included in the process. It does take a team to help setup camp. The s’mores are faster yet with just a minute of prep time. As for the scary stories, I have included the helpful spooky scary story starters in the checklist below. These will help the stories begin. Where they end is up to the story teller.

Check List for The Midnight Society Meeting:

Are you Afraid of the Dark is now on DVD. You can grab a copy from Amazon.com. Please check out my review because it’s not friendly for all ages. Even I was freaking out with all the crazy bugs and clowns. “Shiver”

Printable Cubeecraft Template of Miko from Glitch Techs

There is a cartoon on Netflix that I have enjoyed watching called Glitch Techs With video games, tech support, and all the geeky coolness involved, it really has captured my attention. The two main characters are High Five and Miko. Together they must save the world from game glitches that enter the real world and cause massive destruction.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because I am enjoying this cartoon so much, I decided to make a cubeecraft of a couple of the characters. I thought it would be perfect to start with Miko since she is my favorite character from the series. I love her enthusiasm and creativity. Her “rush in first and ask questions later” attitude matches my own recklessness. However, she is far more coordinated than I am. She can back up her brashness with a good kick, punch., or an off the wall dance off.

This Miko cubeecraft features Miko in her work uniform when she is capturing and fighting glitches.

To Build the Cubeecraft:
Materials needed:
Printer
Card stock
scissors
x-acto knife

To make:

  1. Cut out each item along the outer black lines.
  2. Cut along the white on each tab using the x-acto knife
  3. Cut along each red line using the x-acto knife
  4. Fold along each inner solid black line and slide each tab into the slots you created with an x-acto knife to form a cube of the head, body, arms, and feet
  5. Slide the arms through the red slots on either side of the body.
  6. Slide the feet through the red slots at the base of the body.
  7. Slide the now completed body through the red lots of the head.

To download the printable papercraft cubeecraft of Miko click the image below and save it to your computer. Then print and create by following the instructions above.

How to Get a Free Book from Kellogg’s Feeding Reading Program

From now until the end of September, Kellogg is giving away books with their new Feeding Reading Program! You read that right…FREE BOOKS! And the best part is, we can choose which book from 125 titles in three different reading levels! On top of that, there are no shipping charges! This is a win all around.

Kellogg’s Feeding Reading program will offer parents, teachers, and kids fun ways to fuel minds and bodies for back to school success. And by teaming up with Penguin Random House, we’re building kids’ reading confidence and empowering young imaginations.

Kellogg’s Family Rewards
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Getting the free books is fairly easy. Simply buy participating merchandise from now to the end of September, upload the receipt with the qualifying purchases (each receipt must be uploaded separately and within 30 days of purchase, no later than 10/30/20), and wait for the credits to be added to your account. Once the credits are added, select the books you desire and have them shipped to your home. There is, however, a limit of 10 books per participant. See Kellogg’s Family Rewards for more details.

I tested this process out and it works! Check out the Mad Libs books my family gets to enjoy!

Books I selected to receive.
Look how large the Best of Mad Libs is compared to the normal book. WOW

After I tried out the process I have a few tips.

  • You will need an account on Kellogg’s Family Rewards website. But this is actually very awesome with all the freebies they have! On their site, under their rewards tab, they have 16 printables featuring coloring pages, games, and books.
  • Make sure you upload your receipt in the right area. There are two areas where you can upload your receipt. One will allow you to earn family reward points and the other earns you book credits. You can upload the same receipt to both.
  • The credit number at the top of the screen states how many credits you have earned, not how many you have to spend. You have to keep track of how many you have spent and how many you have yet to spend. We have to do math…nice one Kellogg’s.

Follow these tips and the instructions provided by Kellogg’s and you will be enjoying books in no time. On a side note, if your family doesn’t need or want the books, it is easy to donate to a school or library of your choice! All it takes is clicking DONATE instead of KEEP when you order the book.

We give Kellogg’s Feeding Reading program an A+! What a great way to celebrate back o school! Thank You Kellogg’s!
