The hot thing that has caught my son's attention and imagination lately are the
How to Train Your Dragon movies and television shows. So he was thrilled when our family included his favorite dragon, Toothless, into our Halloween activities by carving a jack-o-lantern of the character. In fact, we switched up our Friday family game night routine last week and made it a #DragonsDay themed evening creating some fun dragon masks, carving our Toothless pumpkin and watching the original
How to Train Your Dragon movie from DreamWorks Animation.
My friends at Fox Home Entertainment helped us put together our special
How To Train Your Dragon night by providing templates for pumpkin carving and dragon masks that I was able to print out. I've included these below if you'd like to incorporate them into your Halloween festivities.
DreamWorks
How To Train Your Dragon 2 will be coming out on Blu-ray & DVD on November 11, 2014 distributed by Fox Home Entertainment so incorporating jack-o-lanterns and masks into your Halloween activities can be a fun way to get your kids excited about the upcoming home video release. My son has been asking every week since we saw this movie at theaters this summer when he could see it again so watching the original movie and including
Dragons into our Halloween really built up his excitement for us bringing the sequel home in a few weeks. It was also a reminder that he needs to keep his grades up and keep being good at school if he wants us to let him watch
How To Train Your Dragon 2 when it comes out. A little bit of carrot and stick parenting there combining reward and punishment in one simple DVD package. My daughter enjoys the movies too but to be honest she's just not as engrossed by dragons as much as my son is.
If you don't want to wait until November 11th to enjoy
How to Train Your Dragon 2 there is one way you can view it right now ... it became available for digital download on October 21, 2014. Our household prefers Blu-ray though for watching flicks on our big screen tv.
About How To Train Your Dragon 2
It's been five years since Hiccup and Toothless successfully united
dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snotlout and
the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the
island's new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey
through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new
worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret
ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious
Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle
to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up
for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have
the power to change the future of both men and dragons.
