A great new activity for families!
Interactive movies provide families an active role in a movie using “prompts” and props. It’s a way to actually become part of the movie instead of just watching it. Each kit contains the movie on DVD, laminated instructions and “prompt” sheets, props to use throughout the movie, and a craft to do before watching. We will have four kits available starting in March: Toy Story, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Frozen, and The Princess Bride. Please call or check at the desk for availability.
