When I think about Winnie the Pooh, I think of him trying to get honey from a bee hive. One of my favorite Pooh stories is when he's trying to be a little black rain cloud and float up to the hive without the bees catching him. So I knew I had to have him sitting below a tree with a hive in it as our table decor. I made a fairly simple tree out of brown packing paper and then cut out some leaves to tape on.
The beehive was made out of some paper mache I found on clearance at Michael's. I packed it into the shape of an egg and let it dry. Then I taped some honeycomb scrapbook paper around the outside before gluing some of the packing paper around it to finish it off. I added a few simple bees to complete the look. The bees are made of yellow pom poms with black pipe cleaners wrapped around them and then wax paper wings I cut and glued on.
I went with a red table cloth and yellow plates.
I made up some movie tickets and put them on the table.
I found these cute ear printables at merrimentdesign. They were super easy to make and I knew the kids were going to love them!
I quickly made a cute design to add around the outside of our glasses. Then I threw in some blue straws I had laying around.
Our movie nights are never complete without a menu. The kids always love to look at these as they sit down to eat. I found this cute poster art on buzzfeed and decided to use it for the cover.
The inside of our menus. I used Pooh and Tigger font.
For dinner we had Piglets in a blanket with Pooh's honey mustard dipping sauce, vegetables from Rabbit's garden and Eeyore's feeling blue punch. For desert we had 100 Acre Wood trail mix. The trail mix was Cheetos (Tigger tails), pretzels (sticks from Eeyore's house), teddy grahams (Pooh bears) and Nutter Butters with Hershey Kisses attached (Piglet's haycorns).
Our crafts were to make Winnie the Pooh from a paper plate and to color pictures. Then for activities we played honey pot hunt, helped Tigger bounce, pinned the tail on Eeyore and then played a game of don't get caught by the bee hot potato.

About a week ago HD and I made this honey pot out of a small planter, planter base and wooden ball. We painted them gold and then used a black paint marker to add Hunny to it. On movie night we played a game of honey pot hunt. One of us was chosen to be Winnie the Pooh and the rest of us became Backsons. Winnie the Pooh had to hide his honey from the Backson group. We played several rounds of this so that everyone had a turn being Winnie the Pooh a couple of times. I helped Little Man when it was his turn to hide the pot. He came up with a great spot but then excitedly took HD right to it.
Piglet's haycorns were made with mini Nutter Butters and Hershey Kisses. I stuck them together using peanut butter.
I printed off pin the tail on Eeyore from Disney family. I laminated it and then hung it up.
I found these really cute snack boxes for our 100 Acre Wood trail mix on merrimentdesign.
Once I had everything set up I had the kids start painting their paper plates while I cooked dinner. Once their plates were painted we set them aside to dry.
Then we moved on to coloring pictures of Pooh's friends.
HD knows that our meals during movie nights are themed. She asked me what the vegetables were named. I told her they were vegetables from Rabbit's garden. She was so excited to tell Mr. when he got home that I'd gone to the 100 Acre Wood to get them from Rabbit. I also decided to add Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet to the table with Pooh.
Eeyore's feeling blue punch.
The kids were so excited to put their ears on during dinner.
This is the reason I have movie nights!
After dinner we finished our Winnie the Pooh plate craft.
Then played our game of honey pot hunt.
Then we helped Tigger bounce. We put Tigger on our blanket and then used it to bounce him up as high as we could. The kids thought it was so fun.
Next up was our don't get caught by the bee game. I turned on some Winnie the Pooh theme music and we quickly passed the bee around until the music stopped. Whoever was holding the bee had been caught and was out.
Then we played pin the tail on Eeyore.
Little Man quickly decided that he didn't like being blind folded. So he took it off and stuck his tail on the paper.
Then we finished off by watching the movie. HD made sure all the 100 Acre Woods crew was there to watch with her.
Little Man was just excited about his snack.
