Beauty & the Beast Food & Craft Ideas

I’ve been slowing introducing my boys to the classic Disney princess films as they’ve been released. I’m so excited that Beauty and the Beast is finally available on Blu-ray and Digital HD. The timing is perfect with the new live action version coming next year. I can’t wait to see Emma Watson play Belle on the big screen. Disney kindly sent us a copy to review which includes some pretty awesome bonus features. Before I get to that, check out these fun Beauty and the Beast food and craft ideas I’ve rounded up.
