Here in Maine, it's pretty cold in January, maybe not as cold as things got in Arendelle, though, when Elsa froze it all. And of course, because we live in a house with a little girl, we know all about all things Anna and Elsa. Even my 20-month-old son yells out "go!" (for "Let It Go") whenever he sees Queen Elsa. Needless to say, it was inevitable that we would host a Frozen-themed party at some point. In our case, it was just a small movie-night party, thrown together at the last minute, with a few friends from our daughter's school. Here's what it looked like:
We used all of our Frozen-themed toys and books as decorations, including our stuffed Olaf and Disney Infinity figures (above) and Barbie-size dolls (below).
I printed out a bunch of Frozen-themed coloring sheets and activity pages (you can find some here and here), and set them out with markers and crayons so that the guests had something to do while dinner was cooking.
We also did a special snowflake ornament craft using craft foam snowflakes and glitter glue to decorate them. I think Elsa really appreciated how glittery they came out!
For our party, we purchased special Frozen-shaped chicken nuggets, and we snacked on Olaf arms (pretzel sticks), Olaf noses (carrots), and snowball popcorn (Smartfood popcorn).
After dinner, we had to have some sweet treats, including Frozen-themed fruit snacks, jelly beans, candy, and blue lollipops.
I also made brownies and white chocolate-covered Oreos. For the brownies, I used edible snowflakes as decorations. I dipped the Oreos in white chocolate to make them look snowy, and I added some blue sparkly sugar glitter to make them match Elsa's ice get-up.
The kids had such a good time, and of course they enjoyed the movie. I printed out some of the song lyrics so that the grown-ups could sing along, too. Even though this event was sort of thrown together (it was planned and executed in a week), I think it worked as a celebration of the movie and the power of warm hugs to bring friends together in even the coldest of weather.
