Yesterday we sat down to watch the new Goosebumps 2 movie with our 9 year old granddaughter and her best friend. Both of the girls are into Goosebumps and have been reading several of the books. They were excited to finally see the new movie.
Movie Synopsis: Be careful what you wish for. With their after school junk business, best friends Sonny and Sam hope to find treasure in other people’s trash. But when cleaning out the old Stine house, they open a locked book that frees a supernatural nightmare- Slappy! Now, with the help of Sonny’s sister Sarah, they’re in a race against time to get the sinister dummy and all the creatures he’s brought to life back into the pages before he unleashes total pandemonium!
Our Thoughts: If you’ve read any of the Goosebumps books or seen any of the movies and enjoyed them…you’ll enjoy this new movie too! It follows along the classic Goosebumps theme of mystery, action, intrigue, engaging characters, etc. The girls were glued to the TV from start to finish and were thoroughly entertained. How do I know that? Well…they didn’t budge from their beanbag chairs the entire time! We won’t be telling you how the movie ends as we don’t give out spoilers.
To get ready for our movie viewing party we made Holiday Thumbprint Cookies a few days ago and you can grab the recipe HERE. They were really easy-to-make and they tasted great! These cookies utilize using those yummy Haribo Gummy Bears.
After we were done watching the movie the girls decided to make 2 batches of the Goosebumps Gummy Bear Slime and really enjoyed that! Here’s the recipe. Young children will need adult supervision when making it.
Goosebumps Gummy Bear Slime Recipe
Haribo Gummy Bears
1/3 cup powdered 10X sugar
1/3 cup corn starch
microwave oven
microwave oven safe bowls
measuring cups
Place the preferred amount of gummy bears into the microwave-safe bowl. We used about 20 of the little gummy bears per batch of slime that we made. You can use more or less. If you want to make a specific color of slime, I would recommend using gummy bears that are all of that color or within that color family.
Combine corn starch with the powdered sugar into a smaller bowl.
Cook the gummy bears by placing them in the microwave for 10 seconds. If they’re not fully melted, try it again for an additional 10 seconds. For the most part it took us 15-20 seconds to get them fully melted.
Remove your goopy concoction from the microwave and add a spoonful of your powdered sugar and corn starch to the mixture. Stir it all together and add more dry ingredients as needed to create a gooey consistency. We kept adding until it was the consistency that was needed.
Time to play with the slime! Scoop it out of the bowl and start pulling and stretching it. You’ll need to knead it like a big ball of bread dough. The more you pull and stretch on it, the better it becomes. Once you’re done playing with it, you’ll want to store it in a plastic zipper-close bag or an airtight container.
Don’t forget….Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween will be available for digital download starting on Christmas Day! You can pick up the blu-ray and DVD starting on January 15th, 2019. You can pre-order it now!!! This is the perfect movie for family movie night, especially if you have older children in the family.
