School holidays are upon us and finding something for kids to do can be daunting. Hosting a movie night for your kids and their friends is a fun way to introduce kids to your childhood favourites - particularly the Disney classic, The Lion King. Before the remake comes out in theatres, be sure to show your children the timeless original film, with beloved characters like Timon and Pumba, Nala, Mufasa and Rafiki. Relive the peak of Disney animation before watching the remake, singing along to all the classic songs of your childhood - what better way to make memories with your kids?
Journey to Pride Rock with our huge range of Lion King-themed decorations, making sure to hand each guest a Lion King mask to kick off the festivities as they enter your house. Line the path to your front door with a Hollywood-style red carpet, adding a touch of glamour to your movie night. This decoration is also perfect for getting dirt off those lil' shoes before they enter your house! If you're feeling creative, line the red carpet with a range of Hollywood-themed balloons, for an extra special welcome for your guests.
Introduce your kids and their friends to the characters with a temporary tattoo station (manned by a close friend or relative) before starting the film; this gives kids something to do while you're serving snacks and setting up the movie.
Be sure to make your living room as comfy as possible for movie night - think lots of blankets, pillows, and dim lighting to create that cinema ambience.
No movie night would be complete without snacks (and lots of them)! There's the quintessential popcorn, to be passed around in Party Savers' adorable Disney-themed popcorn boxes, alongside other classic movie night staples, such as lollies and pizza.
For the ambitious home chefs among us, why not make homemade chocolate ice cream for dessert? Crush some Oreo cookies into a fine powder to sprinkle on top and add a gummy worm garnish to recreate a Lion King staple - bugs 'n' grub, the meal of choice for Timon and Pumba.
For a healthier alternative, serve up some gluten-free cupcakes or sweet treats decorated with our Lion King edible icing cupcake toppers for a surefire crowd-pleasing dessert.
However you decide to host your Lion King movie night, be sure to check out our exciting range of The Lion King and other Disney themed products, either online or in store, located in Chatswood.
