BEAT THE FREEZE! HAVE A POLAR EXPRESS PARTY!

One of the best kids movies I have ever seen is The Polar Express. It was so entertaining and uplifting, I came right home afterward and created a party plan for it: The Polar Express Train Adventure Here in New England, we are currently in a polar "deep freeze" with sub zero temps. and wind chills. In fact tonight we are on a Blizzard Watch and are expecting up to 2 feet of snow! What a great time to warm up with Polar Express recipes for Hot Chocolate Bar Cocoa or Polar Chocolate Nougat Caramel Squares. I always find chocolate raises my spirits, if not my body temperature!The Polar Express Party page also features:

• Easy instructions for Train Ticket Invitations and a Sleigh Bell Cake,too.
• Two really cute crafts good for any winter party: a lollipop reindeer and a light bulb snowman.

Visit our Polar Express Games page for these & other favorites: Polar Bowling, Snow Blowers, Conductor Says, & Crossing the Polar Ice Cap.
