By the way, did you know that you can stream your free VUDU movie using your SmartTV, ROKU, or Chromecast. We used our Chromecast for our family movie night.
I love that our local Walmart had everything I needed to make our family night a success and to top it off, I saved money all around. To find the Walmart Family Mobile Plan section, just head to the electronics section of your local Walmart store.
Before heading to your local Walmart, be sure to visit the Walmart Family Mobile Hub to find out where the nearest In-Store Mobile Family Event Table is taking place and the in-store rep will be available to answer any questions you may have. While you are enjoying the festivities, you can can scan the Angry Birds Display to access an augmented reality selfie experience with hatchling. Also, the event will have a code that you can scan to receive a free power up for the Endless Runner Game on the Angry Birds Action. How fun does that sound?
Wait, I mentioned The Angry Birds Movie earlier! I have to share with you what our family night consisted of. Our favorite Angry Bird of all time is Red. So, in honor of Red, we had a red themed movie night that included a DIY Red Angry Bird Blanket (will discuss that next), red candy coated pretzel snacks, and a red drink.
First, I want to quickly discuss our red themed snack. It was candy coated pretzels. They are a quick and easy snack and doesn’t require many ingredients and effort. All you will need is pretzels (you choose your favorite), candy coating, and parchment paper.
 |
| Step 1: Roll out Parchment Paper, Step 2: Melt candy in the microwave (be sure to check and stir often to avoid burning), Step 3: Stir the melted candy to get the consistency you desire, Step 4: Dip pretzel into the melted candy (I dip just one side), Step 5: Place coated pretzel on the parchment paper to dry. |
We snuggled up with our very own Red Angry Bird blanket, which is a circular blanket made of fleece with the facial features of Red made from felt. This is a no-sew blanket, and if you are anything like me, you are short on time these days.
WHAT SUPPLIES WILL I NEED?:
* 2 yards of red fleece material (I used the Anti-Pill Fleece)
* Sheets of Felt (Black, Yellow, White, Orange)
* Fabric Glue
* Scissors
HOW DO I MAKE IT?:
 |
| Step 1: Sketch, Trace and Cut the facial features of the Red Angry Bird using the felt. |
 |
| Step 2: Fold the 2 yards of fleece in half, and get a visual of where you will need to cut your half circle. I used a yard stick and measuring tape to help. |
 |
| Step 3: Cut out a half circle (once it is unfolded, it will be a full circle). |
 |
| Step 4: Position felt pieces onto the blanket and glue the pieces in place. The fabric glue I used bonds really quickly, so I had to be sure of where I wanted it placed. |
 |
| Step 5: Completed Blanket |
How often do you enjoy a family movie night?
Until Next Time!
What a cute blanket! This would be so much fun to make before watching the movie. [client]
Thank you so much! You are right, it can be made right before one sits down to enjoy the movie Stephanie C.
