Snacks

No party is complete without some munchies! Find inspiration for a Frozen theme with simple ingredients like marshmallows, white chocolate, carrot sticks and pretzels.

Snowball Pops: Place jumbo marshmallows on a stick and dip it in white chocolate for white sprinkles to adhere to it. Tie a blue ribbon to the stick and the snow element to the party is fulfilled.



Olaf Nose Carrot Sticks: Pour a bag of mini carrot sticks into a blue colored bowl and it’ll play towards one of the most adorable characters in the film.



Frozen Colored M&M’s: Add customized blue, light blue and white colored M&M’s in a candy bowl, mixed with other snacks like pretzels or fill up party favor baggies with the candies and the color elements of the film will come through at your party.



Snow Covered Pretzels: Mix in mini marshmallows with your mini pretzel sticks. It’ll give the look of a snow covered forest in a bowl.

Crafts/Activities

Keep the little ones busy and entertained at the party with simple activities and crafts inspired by one of the favorite characters in the film.

Olaf Shopping Bag: Take plain white party bags and allow kids to glue on Olaf’s features to the front of the bag. You’ll need stick-on eyes, orange construction paper or foam sheets to cut out triangle-shaped noses and brown construction paper or foam sheets to cut out branch arms and hair strands. Use a marker to draw on a mouth and three black circle buttons below the mouth.



Pin The Carrot on Olaf: Playing off of the classic game of Pin The Tail on the Donkey, let’s pin the carrot on Olaf!

Make Paper Snowflakes: Making a paper snowflake is easy and all you need is paper and a pair of scissors. Find easy steps to follow at Teachablemommy.com . You can also have the kids add glitter to the snowflake by applying glue to one side of the snowflake, smoothing out the glue with a sponge and then sprinkling the surface with glitter. Shake off excess glitter and kids will have a sparkling snowflake to take home. It can also be turned into a Christmas tree decoration, just loop in a piece of yarn to the snowflake for hanging.
