Complaining about the weather is futile; it’s just something we have to deal with. Moving isn’t always an option, so when the cold keeps us inside for yet another weekend, it’s understandable to feel frustrated. My partner and I are trying our best to limit screen time for our kids, but sometimes it feels impossible. We’ve attempted to get them outdoors, even braving icy playgrounds, and have resorted to board games, yet the hours in a day can feel endless. I’m sure there’s a fellow parent out there who has given in to the allure of screens—no judgment here!
At our house, we’ve watched everything from The LEGO Movie to episodes of Octonauts, and even dove into the entirety of our Fawlty Towers DVD collection. What’s the solution? Turning to Scholastic, of course, for their curated list of the 100 Greatest Movies for Kids. Their selection ranges from timeless classics to hidden gems. You’ll find beloved titles like The Wizard of Oz and Willy Wonka, alongside animated favorites such as 101 Dalmatians and Wall-E. There’s also a sprinkling of nostalgic films like The Karate Kid and The Princess Bride, plus a few delightful surprises that aren’t often featured, including Newsies and Bend It Like Beckham.
This weekend, I’m eager to explore these films with my kids and engage in lively discussions with my partner and other parents who are just as restless.
Here are the Top 10 Movies for Kids from Scholastic’s list:
- The Wizard of Oz
- E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
- Mary Poppins
- Toy Story 2
- The Princess Bride
- Beauty and the Beast
- Star Wars
- The Iron Giant
- Walt Disney’s Pinocchio
- A Little Princess
