Enjoying Netflix This Cold February in Chicago #StreamTeam
This month has been brutally cold this winter here in Chicago. On February 1st we had a snowfall of 19 inches and the groundhog warned us we have six more weeks of winter. Thankfully, we have a new original special Netflix show and two new Netflix original series premiering this month!
Mako Mermaids
The mermaids are back: Season 2 of Mako Mermaids, a Netflix original series for kids, started streaming on Friday, February 13th. Three mermaids try to reverse the magical merman properties acquired by a human boy named Zac in this "H20" sequel. Make sure to give your little mer-fans a first look at Season 2 this month on Netflix!
Ever After High
This animated series, Ever After High: Spring Unsprung, follows the sons and daughters of all the famous fairy tale characters we know and love as they decide whether to follow in their parents' footsteps. Ever After High is a boarding school for teens destined to follow in their famous parents' fairytale footsteps. Only this is high school, and that spells drama. You can find Apple White, Daring Charming and Blondie Lockes, as they embrace their "happily ever afters," while others, like Raven Queen and Cedar Wood, choose to rewrite their own stories -- which could change the fate of every one else at school.
Ever After High, Mako Mermaids and many other Netflix titles have the amazing message to teach our children to create their own destiny and follow their dreams. Since we are stuck indoors with this brutal cold weather I thought the girls would really love to have some fun with a themed craft. I have loads of scraping materials, so I let the girls have fun creating scrapbook pages all about their own dreams.
