Shadow Boxes

Stephanie
When I visited Mexico, I saw a lot of really cool nichos in the shops there. I think they are amazing. I like their bright colors and that they are little miniature scenes. I really like how the collections of them look on the wall, and I wanted to make…

The Breadwinner Dinner and Crafts

Stephanie
Cartoon Saloon's third movie takes place outside of Ireland. This movie is based on a book about a girl in modern day Afghanistan. It's an amazing movie, but it does depict some harsh realities for the people living in Afghanistan, so it may be too confronting for small children. It…

Pirate Fairy Party

Happy Mother's Day everyone! You may want to celebrate by watching a movie that explores a mother daughter relationship.  Pixar made it's first fairy tale with Brave. Merida is a really cool princess that doesn't have a prince save her, and there really is no princess/prince love story in this…

A new animated version of The Little Prince has been made! In honor of the movie, I have some party ideas. This movie is interesting because it tells the story of the book inside of a framing story about a little girl who is completely focused on academic achievement. At…
