Zachary Levi’s character, Flynn Rider, checks out his face on a wanted poster in this shot from Tangled’s brand-new teaser trailer!

Mandy Moore voices Rapunzel in this retelling of the classic fairy tale – but this new version is much different from the original!

“In our film, the infamous bandit Flynn Rider meets his match in the girl with the 70 feet of magical golden hair,” producer Roy Conli wrote on Disney Animation’s Facebook page. “We’re having a lot of fun pairing Flynn, who’s seen it all, with Rapunzel, who’s been locked away in a tower for 18 years.”

Tangled hits theaters November 24!

Pom-Pom Tie Guy!

http://crafts.kaboose.com/swf/craft_pompom_tie_04_FINAL_rdax_65.jpg

You might need to use tools that require adult supervision, such as glue gun and scissors. If so, these can be replaced by textile glue and safety scissors. Make sure you ask your parents some help.

Make these really easy and super cute fluffy guys in a tie for your dad to display proudly on his desk or toolbox! It makes a great Father’s Day gift.

What you’ll need:

  • 2 medium foam hearts (about 1”-1.5”)
  • 1 medium foam circle
  • 1 large pom-pom
  • 1 miniature pom-pom
  • 5” x 1” piece of felt
  • 2 wiggle eyes
  • 5” x ½” piece of cardstock or construction paper
  • Scissors
  • White craft glue
  • Marker

How to make it:

  1. Place the two foam hearts on the table next to each other so that the points are almost touching. Put some glue on the point of each heart and glue the foam circle over both heart points. The hearts will be the feet and the circle is your body’s base. (Picture #1)
  2. Glue the pom-pom to the circle. (Picture #2)
  3. Cut out a simple necktie from the felt and glue it to the pom-pom, just in between the two hearts (feet). (Picture #3)
  4. Glue on two wiggle eyes and the miniature pom-pom for the nose.
  5. Write a message on the cardstock strip; be sure to leave a blank space where you will glue it under your “tie guy”. Now glue the message banner to the bottom of the foam circle and let everything dry. (Picture #4)

Tips:

  • Personalize your message banner with Dad’s name or his work title, or simply put “World’s Greatest Dad” or “My Dad Rocks”.
  • If your dad is a sports fan, use his favorite team’s colors for the feet and pom-pom.
  • Add a magnet to the bottom and this will stick nicely to a file cabinet or toolbox!

Best Dad Desk Accessory!

http://crafts.kaboose.com/swf/350x255_bestdaddesk2_rdax_65.jpg

You might need to use tools that require adult supervision, such as glue gun and scissors. If so, these can be replaced by textile glue and safety scissors. Make sure you ask your parents some help.

Painted black to compliment Dad’s executive desk, this decoration reminds him of your love for him all day long. This also looks great displayed in your home with family photographs!

What you’ll need:

  • Cardboard from snack crackers box
  • 2- 12″ long wooden dowels
  • Black and white acrylic paint
  • Scissors
  • Alphabet foam stamps
  • Glue stick
  • Hot glue gun

How to make it:

  1. Cut open an empty cardboard snack cracker box. Other boxes you could use might be from cereal, fruit snacks, or snack cakes.
  2. Lay the box out flat on the table.
  3. Cut out the two largest pieces of cardboard from the box (front and the back). Measure the long side and trim so that it can be divided into 7 equal pieces. For example, if it is 22 cm long, trim off one cm. This will leave you 21 cm and that can be divided by 7. Same goes if you have 8 inches, trim down to 7 inches.
  4. Now do the same thing on the short side so that it can be divided into 3 equal pieces.
  5. Use a pencil to divide trimmed cardboard into 21 pieces, 7 across and 3 down. Cut out all pieces.
  6. Stack pieces into piles of 3. You should have 7 piles.
  7. Use the glue stick to attach the 3 pieces together, stacked on top of each other. Be sure to face the shiny side (decorative side) of the cardboard in toward the center to make both sides of your stack easier to paint.
  8. You should now have 7 pieces comprised of 3 equal pieces each. Paint all 7 pieces with black paint and let dry. Repeat on the other side.
  9. Cut a stand from the other piece of cardboard and paint it black on the non-shiny side. Let dry.
  10. Use the foam stamps to add letters to the 7 black pieces that spell out “BEST DAD.” Apply a light coat of white paint to the stamp and press the stamp onto the black piece, leaving room at the bottom for it to be inserted into the stand.
  11. Cut both dowels in half and sand the ends with sand paper.
  12. Lay two dowels side by side onto the black stand. Place them toward the top left side. Place the other two toward the bottom right side. Glue them in place, but leave enough room in between each set of two to insert your letter pieces.
  13. Paint the dowels black.
  14. Use the hot glue gun to insert letters into the dowel holders.

Tips:

  • Instead of dowels you can use craft sticks.
  • Save the remaining cardboard from this project for another project.
  • To save cardboard from the landfill, flatten out snack boxes and place them in a folder or better yet place into a cereal box.

•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.

When you don’t have a lot of time to create a snack, look to this twist on an American classic. Sweet, tender apple slices nestled into two slices of bread create a handheld version of apple pie that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, plus 1/4 cup melted butter for brushing tops of pies
  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored and diced small
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 tablespoon flour
  • 1 loaf white bread (about 17 slices), crusts removed

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat cook butter, apples, brown sugar and cinnamon for about 4 minutes. Sprinkle in flour, stir and cook for about 2 minutes more or until apples are tender. Place mixture into a bowl and set aside to cool.
  3. Using a rolling pin, roll each slice of bread until it is thin and flat (this ensures that the bread is pliable). Place about 1 teaspoon of apple mixture into the center of each slice of bread. Wet two of the edges of each slice of bread with a little bit of water. Fold the slice of bread diagonally to that it forms a triangle. Firmly press the edges of the bread together creating a tight seal. Place hand-pies onto prepared baking sheet. Brush each of the hand-pies with the remaining melted butter.
  4. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Tips & Tricks

These pies are delicious served cold or at room temp, making them perfect lunchtime fare.

Add raisins or chopped nuts into the mixture to change it up.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ready In: 35 minutes

Servings: 17 pies
