The Princess and the Frog is a movie that I wanted to do for Friday Fun right from the start, but it took us a while to get to it. Our first activity was Jazz Band. We started by making shakers out of tin cans. The kids decorated them with paper and markers, then we filled them with dry beans and rice and hot glued them shut. When they were done we looked up Jazz music on YouTube and the kids shook their cans and drummed on them with silverware. Somehow, I didn't take any pictures of that.
Next we had frog races. The kids hopped like frogs across the living room and the first to touch the opposite wall one. I think they did it like 10 times in a row.
Food on this one pretty much planned itself. How could we not do gumbo? I had planned to make it from scratch, but I decided to get lazy and we had Zatarans with smoked sausage and shrimp. We did green beans for our vegetable since there weren't any in the gumbo. Fizzy Frog Soda was sparkling water with lime juice and green food coloring. The beignets were my favorite part of the meal. They are a fancy French pastry, but we made them quick and easy by cutting Pillsbury biscuits into fourths, frying them and dipping them still hot into powdered sugar or a cinnamon sugar mixture. Everyone LOVED them.
