Cruella Frappuccino

Inspired by the new film Cruella, which stars Emma Stone, this Frappuccino, is delicious, fun and kid friendly. You can order it from Starbucks off the secret menu or you can make it yourself at home.

Cruella is a Disney Live action film that shows the backstory of Cruella De VIll from 101 Dalmatians. It is kid appropriate but your child may not be able to hold their attention well. I have a full review on Cruella. That being said, if you have been following me long enough or have been apart of any of my Facebook groups: Homeschooling in NYC, Kid Made and Kid Approved or the Disney Pixar Connection, then you know we make everything into a learning opportunity.

When you are cooking, even something as simple as making a Frappuccino, you are using math with measuring, ELA with reading and following directions, science with using the tools (aka the blending) and art with creating a dish or drink.

Beyond that you can have a whole 101 Dalmatian movie marathon and create more themed dishes, while also covering the 5 Ws and the how with your children.
