Madagascar Party with Children's Claritin

As part of the Children's Claritin Mom Crew, I had the opportunity to host a Madagascar Movie Viewing Party in preparation for the release of Madagascar 3.  Claritin sent me the dvds for Madagascar 1 and 2, some Madagascar 3 stickers, Claritin samples, and popcorn boxes.  Pierce was very excited about this, as he had never had a 'party' before (it wasn't so much a party as just inviting a couple of friends over, but don't tell him that!).  I decided to hold it on a Friday night, let the kids come in pjs, and have it be a pretend sleepover - they were still heading home for the night!

Claritin provided me with some recipe ideas, and I made their turkey wraps which were a big hit with the adults.  I also had a nacho bar and discovered in the Jello aisle Madagascar jiggler molds for $1.  Would you believe I'd never made Jello Jigglers before?!

Packets of Madagascar 3 stickers and Claritin samples for the taking:

Popcorn ready for the making.  I used coconut oil and real butter and salt to make it taste like movie popcorn and the kids loved it so much I had to make a second batch after the first! 

Since Madagascar 3 has a circus theme, Clariting suggested doing ice cream clown cones -

The boys had a fun time decorating the clown faces, and sampling the candy:

I could go for this creation!  

I put sleeping bags, blankets, and pillows all over the floor and took a vote - Madagascar 2 won.  There is one child missing from this picture, but it was hard to get the kids all together!  Turns out it was a beautiful evening and they had a lot of fun just playing on the porch. 

Seems like everyone had a fun time, and Pierce is already begging to have another 'sleepover' movie party soon!
