Notes
Pick items for your board based on:
- Theme – choose elements to match the event, movie, or theme of the occasion.
- Tastes – Make the board what your family wants to eat for movie night. If you really like having sour candy at the movies, add sour candy to your board. I went with my son’s favorite frosted cookies, donuts, and gummy frogs because I knew they were things he’d actually enjoy!
- Size - Buy items in varying sizes to fill up the board the best possible.
- Budget – If you want to keep it inexpensive, make things from scratch rather than buying them at the store. You can also keep things more budget friendly by limiting the number of dessert items on the board.
