Movie Night Snack Packs

Filed Under: Halloween, Holidays, Kids in the Kitchen, Parties

Movie Night Snack Packs
Have the kids make their own snack packs for a fun family movie night! Disposable drink carriers work perfectly for holding popcorn, a drink, Red Vines, and an applesauce pouch!

Movie Night Snack Packs
We all know that the best part about going to the movies are the snacks! My kids love the snack packs that the theater sells, but we have only purchased them a couple of times because they are so pricey! Multiply that by 4 kids and we usually just get a large popcorn to share.

I found a package of cardboard beverage carriers and knew they’d be perfect for an in-home movie night with the kids. And the best part? They are completely customizable! The kids had fun deciding on the items to add to their snack packs!

I threw a black table cloth over the sofa table in the living room, added a few plastic placemats for a background and popped a few batches of popcorn in our movie theater popcorn popper (we are HUGE popcorn fans over here).

Movie Night Snack Packs
Small popcorn bags work great for portion control and fit into the snack pack carriers perfectly.

Movie Night Snack Packs
No movie is complete without a few sweets. We are a Red Vines family and like buying the big bucket. This time, I added a few other kinds for variety.

Kaylee likes the black ones and my husband likes the mini  bite sized ones.

Movie Night Snack Packs
I went through our Halloween movies and stacked up a bunch for the kids to choose from. “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” was the winner.

Movie Night Snack Packs
I set out a few mummy wrapped applesauce pouches as well. I make them every year and they are always a hit! The store was out of crepe paper to I used a roll of gauze—I think it actually worked better!

This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anyti This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anytime my camera and tripod go up, he’s right there waiting. Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother for Christmas. We love this little set of round knitting looms. A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat. Linked in stories. ❤️

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!
I screamed, did a dance, then ran inside to tell t I screamed, did a dance, then ran inside to tell the kids. We won’t focus on how much this egg actually cost us—we’ll just focus on the fact that Bonnie decided to give us an early Christmas present. #nelsonsbackyardchickens
Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas cookies this year and I’m wondering why we didn’t use them before! So cute ($1 at Target). My 9 year old decorated most of the cookies that you see in this photo. I taught her how to use a piping bag, a star tip, and a round tip last year and she hit the ground running. Check out our stories for 6 cookie tutorials for kids using the same frosting tips!
