Cinematters makes family movies matter!

June 17th, 2007

If you’re looking for a fun way to connect with your children, the Cinematters team of “Master Stormbrainer”(Kelly Parthen) and “Captain Write Bright” (Shannon Payette Seip) have found a way that is full of MomAppeal!

Their Cinematters website includes past columns that have been syndicated to many newspapers and parenting magazines, as well as some parenting websites, reaching out to about 3,000,000 lucky readers.

What they do is absolutely fabulous!  They watch family movies such as “Flushed Away,” “Cars,” and “Flicka.”  They then take the time to find an underlying lesson, AND put together fun, do-it-yourself games to help you and your children apply that lesson to your own lives.

Just a couple of my personal faves, are the games that go with “Akeelah the Bee”—a crunchy, edible and kid-friendly form of Scrabble drives the lesson home—and “Shrek 2″—a confidence building game that focuses on helping children recognize their inner strengths.

Giving your children’s favorite movies more meaning while spending quality time together, obviously, has loads of Mom Appeal.

Psst!! The Cinematters team will also be opening an ultra-hip and nutritious kid-centered cafe in Middleton, WI called BeanSprouts this summer which we will review on MadisonMomAppeal.com soon…think posh high chairs, organic baby food delivered to your door, inventive kid and parent approved organic fare, trendy retail…We can’t wait!!!We’ll fill you in on all you need to know…keep your eye on MadisonMomAppeal for updates and a detailed review!
