March Break Movie Mornings in The Beach #FlashGiveaway

Are we all looking forward to next week? You know, that week where our kids have no school, and we have to arrange for their care and entertainment? Actually, I am excited for the chance to spend some extra time with Little Boo (the Teen is heading out of town with friends). I am not a proponent of the idea that we have to fill every moment of our children's time away from school with exciting and intellectually or athletically stimulating activities. It's good for them to entertain themselves, and even to experience some boredom to motivate their own creativity. But I will be sure to plan some fun and different outings for us during the break. It will be fun for us both!

If you are interested in some indoor fun, I've found a great opportunity for you and your kids to catch up on your family movie viewing - on the big screen. You can catch a variety of kid-friendly movies, suitable to a variety of ages, every morning next week (March 11-15) at The Beach Cinemas. Movies will be running on multiple screens, and include such faves as "Spy Kids," "Hoodwinked," "Paranorman," "Spiderman," and the entire Harry Potter series. They have even included the current release "Escape from Planet Earth" in these offerings. (It's awesome, by the way. We saw it at a preview event.) You can check out the full list of titles and the schedule on the March Break Movie Mornings website.

Even better? This series comes with a special admission price of just $5 a person. There will be face painting and character visits at select screenings, and special lunch deals at the nearby Boston Pizza location. The Beach Cinemas will also be selling cupcakes in support of a local charity (Lions Club). So, you can enjoy a fun, and inexpensive day out with the kids (movie and a lunch date!), and pick up a sweet treat for a good cause while you're at it.

The Beach Cinemas is located at 1651 Queen Street East, Toronto (Queen/Coxwell).
