Inspired by Disney’s classic film, The Jungle Book, and based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories, The Jungle Book comes to life on the big screen in an all new adaptation with live-action characters as well as photorealistic CGI animals and environments. This story along with the up-to-the-minute- technology will have the audience immersed in the story and the world around them. The Jungle Book is playing in theaters now in 3D.

For the record, I have not seen the live-action Jungle Book movie yet. But from the images displayed on the official site, I know it is at the top of my list to watch. I am a huge fan of the Disney classic and I hope that they did the story justice.

Speaking of their official website, I discovered something rather awesome. On The Jungle Book site, Disney has supplied all of us fans and parents with an Educator’s Guide to the Jungle book and an Activity pack for the kids. DisneyNature has also helped create a glossary of animals with specific traits and facts kids will love to learn.

With this information, we can turn this movie into an awesome learning experience about the animals that live in the jungle, The hardships of the jungle, and so much more. The Educator’s Guide is great for teachers who may want to do a lesson on the jungle to help their students explore the jungle world. It is also great for parents who want to help their kid learn abut the jungle as well.

Grab the Educator’s Guide and the Activity pack for free by clicking the images below. Simply save the PDF to your computer or print for a hard copy.

Info about The Jungle Book:

Directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man), based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s classic animated film, The Jungle Book is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice of Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire. The all-star cast also includes Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of the fiercely protective mother wolf Raksha, and Giancarlo Esposito as the voice of wolf pack’s alpha male Akela.

The Jungle Book seamlessly blends live-action with photorealistic CGI animals and environments, using up-to-the-minute technology and storytelling techniques to immerse audiences in an enchanting and lush world. The wild adventure swings into theaters in 3D on April 15, 2016. The Jungle Book site

Alice in Wonderland – Alice LEGO Minifigure

How do you get to Wonderland? Just ask Alice. This blonde little girl gets herself into all kinds of trouble because she is so curious. When she sees a white rabbit with a watch, she immediately follows the little guy into a rabbit hole and falls to Wonderland. Her adventure is full of all kinds of nonsense, including talking animals, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, a Mad Hatter Tea Party, and let’s not forget the Queen of Hearts. Hold onto your heads!

Perhaps, I will stay in the real world and not figure out how to get to wonderland. Honestly, I would like to keep my sanity and my head. When the most sense comes from a Cheshire Cat that can disappear when it wants, I’d say reality is my best friend.

To commemorate Alice from Alice in Wonderland, LEGO has created an awesome minifigure depicting Alice in her blue dress holding a bottle that says Drink Me and a small morsel of food. Do you remember which one makes her bigger and which one makes her smaller?

In honor of Alice becoming a LEGO Minifigure, I have created a Lego Minifigure Alice coloring page! Simply download, print, and color for Lots of Lego Fun!
Best part is this coloring page is free! However, if you like it and download it, please consider donating.

If the weather has not told you already, spring is here! It is time for playing outdoors in the warmth of the sun. It is also perfect weather to fly paper airplanes! I find it to be a great activity for the family to enjoy together and it only requires a few sheets of paper. On top of enjoying the outdoors and having fun together as a family, the crafting of paper airplanes is a great way to get the brains working as everyone tries to figure out how best to build and create their plane.

Once all airplane are completed, have each kid write their name on their plane. Then have the kids stand at one end of the yard and toss the plane. The person with the plane that flies the farthest wins. Of course you can add other ways to win, such as: who can get theirs to return to them, who can get theirs to loop-d-loop, and so-on.

To help the little kids in the group that may struggle a bit with the paper plane creation Disney Junior has put together a few Paper Airplane templates featuring some of their favorite characters. Rocket through space with Miles From Tomorrowland, soar through the Sky with Sofia the First, and Pirate the skies with Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Each paper airplane template comes with easy instructions and marks so you know where to fold.

To grab these free templates click the images below and save the PDF to your computer. They are free to download, so you might as well grab them all.
