FROZEN Craze! (On a budget)

If you have a little girl, odds are you probably know all the words to "Let It Go", and "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" Am I right?! We are in the thick of the Frozen Craze as well. My 5 year old wants to play Elsa all day long. I am trying to avoid the Disney Store, and come up with some ideas that are budget friendly, that will make my little snow bunny happy without breaking the bank. 




Music
The Soundtrack to this movie is really great. We have had "Let It Go" on repeat since Frozen came out. I wouldn't buy the whole album, because these are the only songs that your child will want to hear and sing along with. The whole album has a lot of music-only tracks, and it pretty expensive for the whole album ($18.70). For $6.45 you can buy the best of the album!

Do You Want to Build A Snowman ($1.29)
Let It Go ($1.29)
For The First Time in Ever ($1.29)
Love Is an Open Door ($1.29)
In Summer ($1.29)


Hair
We have been doing a lot of braids around here! For Elsa, just a simple side braid and make sure to bring it over the shoulder. For longer hair, you can do a french braid. For Anna, part down the side, and two braids, also pulled over the shoulder.

Nails
I have never been a fan of blue nail polish for my daughter, but there is no chance I am getting my way now. Blue is the new pink! Use some blue nail polish and add some silver glitter, or use a push pin and white polish for some snow and snowflakes. Here is a good illustration how to get that perfect snowflake.

Crafts
We have been making a lot of snowflakes lately. If you are like me, I was a little rusty with the art of snowflakes, and made some pretty sad looking ones at the start. Here is a good tutorial from http://artandobsession.blogspot.com that will be sure to score you some points with your Frozen obsessed child.

Frozen Apps:
For now, this is really the best options as far as Apps go: Frozen Free Fall
Frozen Free Fall (FREE)

Dress Up: 
We have been using what we have on hand. Cinderella Dress with some snowflakes pinned on, or her angel costume. Every time I go to Joann's, my daughter picks out some fancy fabrics, and I just buy her a yard or two, and she can use it as a shawl, skirt, tablecloth, blanket for her dolls, etc. We will pick up some blue next time we go. Or for 19.99 you can pick this up at Target (in stores only).
