Stuck Inside Because of the Cold? Check Out These 10 Must-Watch Kids Movies!
Hey there, fellow parents! Let’s be real—grumbling about the weather doesn’t get us anywhere. It’s just weather, right? But whining about being cooped up with the kiddos for what feels like the 277th weekend in a row? Totally valid! My partner and I are doing our best to keep our kids from becoming screen zombies all day long. We’ve tried everything from taking them outside for some fresh (and cold) air to playing board games, but there are only so many hours to fill in a day. I’m pretty sure even the most devoted Waldorf parent has had a moment of weakness when it comes to screens—come on, own up!
In our house, we’ve already plowed through The LEGO Movie, The Boxtrolls, and various episodes of Octonauts and America’s Funniest Videos. We even managed to binge-watch the entire Fawlty Towers DVD collection! So what’s a parent to do? Turn to Scholastic, of course, for their list of the 100 Greatest Movies for Kids. Their picks are a delightful mix of the classics you’d expect (The Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka) and some unexpected gems (Newsies, Bend It Like Beckham, and Time Bandits—“Don’t touch it…it’s evil…”). I can’t wait to dive into this list this weekend! I’m equally excited about watching these films with my kids and having a spirited debate with my partner and other parents who are also feeling a bit stir-crazy.
Here are the Top 10 from Scholastic’s list of the 100 Greatest Kids Movies:
- The Wizard of Oz
- E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
- Mary Poppins
- Toy Story 2
- The Princess Bride
- Beauty and the Beast
- Star Wars
- Iron Giant
- Walt Disney’s Pinocchio
- A Little Princess
