The BFG
Book Celebration
Today we finished reading The BFG by Roald Dahl. It is one of my favorite books from childhood and the kiddos loved it! I promised them if they had good behavior that we could have a 'BFG Party'. I am 'applying' to watch the BFG. We will not be watching the newest version as it is PG and has some rather scary parts. We will hopefully be watching an older version that is rated G.
In addition to watching the movie I would like to provide a few treats based on items from the book.
1) Frobscottle - Frobscottle is a green-colored fizzy drink, where the bubbles go down instead of up. This is the cause of Whizzpoppers (which is gas). It tastes delicious to Sophie and The BFG and to the other giants as well. It also makes the drinker fly and toot.
We will make our frobscottle with ginger ale, vanilla ice-cream, green food coloring and pop rocks.
2) Snozzcumbers - The Snozzcumber is a fictional foodstuff featured prominently in The BFG. The Snozzcumber resembles a cucumber, but differs in various respects. It varies from nine to twelve feet long. It is striped lengthwise black and white, with wart-like growths all over its surface.
We will make our snozzcumber sandwiches with cucumbers, bread and cream cheese
3)Human Beans - yes, that is you and me! The 9 other gruesome giants eat human beans. How frightening.
We will be enjoying jelly beans.
4)Dream Jars - the BFG collects and blows dreams for little children
We will create our own by using a plastic jar, glitter glue, food coloring and water.
