I love going to the movies, but its so darn expensive. And with 2 kids and 2 adults, we spend a lot more time at home renting movies but I still want it to feel special. So today I am bringing you a super quick, super fun, and super awesome craft to make your own movie theater snack box. This snack box, which you can make from empty cereal boxes, is a perfect way for everyone to have a tray of snacks that stay on your lap over your couch. Easily adding your custom snacks and securing your drink, make sure you save all your empty boxes to create a home theater experience for family movie night!
