Movie Copycat Menu

Pick your favorite movie and make a list of all the things they eat in the show. Look closely at anything that has to do with food in the movie and plan your menu accordingly.

Make a special movie invitation that goes with your movie. Also see our readers cook with book section because a lot of chapter books have also been made into movies that would work well for this idea.
