We are one of many households that has been taken over by the movie Frozen! I didn't even think that Ethan liked it that much when I put it on for him the first time, but apparently he was hooked! I think for him it's mostly the songs that he enjoys, he is a very musical boy. I don't like him to watch too much TV though, so we listen to the soundtrack a lot and do other activities related to the movie. So far we have:
- Danced around with a cape and gloves that blow off in the wind (like in 'Let it Go')
- Made Queen Elsa's 'icy castle' and 'icy steps' out of Lego
- Used a mat as a shovel to break up the snow (like the beginning of the movie, 'Frozen Heart')
- Played with magic snow, and built a snowman ('Do You Want to Build a Snowman?')
Ethan has loved each and every activity, often initiating them himself or adding his own ideas to our play. He seriously loves this movie, so he is very inspired! He had so much fun playing with the magic snow, straight away he said that he wanted to build a snowman. We made a pile of snow (it's not that easy to build a snowman with magic snow, white play dough might be a better idea!) and when it was done he went to the fridge unprompted, to get a carrot for his nose! Then he decided that he needed eyes (raisins) and sticks for arms. He said that was Olaf, and we were done!
Anyone else doing any Frozen related play? We would love more ideas! Please link up your blog posts here:

Magic snow! What is that?? I need some! We are also obsessed but mostly GG spends time in her room aiming for the perfect pitch :)
ReplyDeleteMagic snow is great! It's a fine powder that you add water to and it grows to 100 times it's size and feels like snow (but not cold, a strange sensation!) Ethan sings Let it Go constantly, but definitely doesn't have perfect pitch, he mostly shouts, lol ;)
DeleteYou have had some lovely ideas! I've shared a guest post that my sister wrote for me about their Frozen themed day and I definitely want to try out some of the activities. I think that some ice play for the summer would be a great idea, I think I'm going to freeze some 'treasure' for them to hack away at and release.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up :) I love hiding toys in ice, hopefully it will warm up again so we can do more water and ice play outside!
DeleteI love the magic snow idea, you could do it with shaving foam :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, we've run out of magic snow, so we could definitely use shaving foam next time :)
Deletethank you for the invite to link up. we are big fans of the film too and my two boys love singing and acting out the songs x
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up! Your Frozen sandwiches are fantastic, Ethan would love them!
DeleteHurray I finally managed to link up! Great to find lots of Frozen ideas for my little fans. I am planning on doing a round up soon and will link to this if that's ok.
