Friday Family Fun Night: A Plumm Summer

Last week we shared with your our very first pick for Friday Family Fun Night - Bedtime Stories & Dirt Ice Cream Recipe. This week I wanted to share with you a cute little independent film called A Plumm Summer.

A Plumm Summer follows the story of two young brothers, Rocky and Elliot (played by the up and coming Chris Massoglia/Kelly) who live in an unstable home where sometimes “drunk dad” played quite realistically by William Baldwin doesn’t even make it home. One day Rocky’s favorite TV character puppet, Froggie Doo, goes missing. From then on the entire movie revolves around the kidnapping and finding of the very weird yet cute Froggie Doo puppet.Â The two brothers along with their new neighbor friend Haley go on a hunt to find out who kidnapped Froggie Doo.Â The ending will surprise you.

Since this movie is all about a frog puppet - Froggie Doo, we thought some frog-inspired snacks would be a great idea. Here’s what we’ve come up with.

Your kids can pretend like they are the frog, and since frogs like to eat bugs you can serve them “bugs on a log“. You will use raisins for the bugs.

Here’s what you need:

raisins = bugs

peanut butter

celery or thick pretzel sticks

Spread the peanut butter on the celery sticks or pretzel sticks then press the raisins on. This is one frugal and tasty snack!
