This would be the perfect outfit to casually cosplay as Rapunzel in a Disney park. The ears are gorgeous.
Tangled
Rapunzel
I love how she wove lights into her hair! It’s hard to cosplay a character that has been done so many times before and still make it unique. I loved this one.
Mother Gothel
I followed the sewing of this costume intently before this convention, and it did not disappoint. She did a beautiful job.
The only time I’ll be excited to see Mother Gothel is a cosplay Mother Gothel!
Week 1 – Tangled Results
Dragon’s first week of Jr Kindergarten went well. There were some hiccups with technology for her virtual classes for her real school on the first day, but after getting a new link (and downloading new firmware for the camera) the second day went much smoother – other than several meltdowns from a very tired Dragon. We’re trying to figure out how to have her be part-time (one day a week), with the teacher’s assistance.
As for the part of her week taught by me, that also went well, for the most part.
Dance
Ballet was a big hit
Music
We listened to a bunch of French music. Coeur de Pirate was the favourite.
Crochet
We managed to get a few stitches in.
Printing words
Worked really well. The blank sheet was used on the second day with the filled in sheet as a guide for spelling.
Counting objects/math-type activities
The download sheet worked really well. She got to practice writing numbers and she counted well.
Storytime
She enjoyed the books, but I’m not sure she understood them
Activity
Baking – cake – talked about mixing colours and measurements.
The cake! 
How do we make purple? Red and blue food colouring (and blueberries). 
Stuffing yellow icing into the piping instrument 
Piping the yellow sun 
The sun! 
Look what I made! 
We had leftover yellow icing, so Papa added to the design. 
Perfect cake.
Painting – free-style with Crayola washable paint on paper – talked about mixing colours.
The sky 
Adding grass… 
Rapunzel’s tower 
Rapunzel’s hair 
I’m finished, mum! 
Completed picture
Make a paper lantern – need construction paper, paper bag, stencil (in download material), cardboard box, paper towel folded in fourths, and screwdriver thumb tack, and pen (instructions are Number 11). Put the paper bag over the cardboard box, and slide the folded paper towel in between the box and the bag. Place the stencil over-top of the bag/paper towel. Use the screwdriver to punch holes in the stencil/paper bag. Be careful not to move the stencil, or you will mess up your design. (Edited in italics after attempt.)
First attempt at the lantern – the push pin was too small for her to hold, and the cardboard too stiff to push into. She pushed on my fingers as I made the pricks – not as much fun for her. 
It worked REALLY well, but better for an older kid. 
Attempting to get a good picture of the lantern without the mottling of the construction paper. 
Using the screwdriver and a paper bag was much easier for her 
She did the whole thing by herself! (I held the paper in place.) 
Completed paper lantern!
Christmas Comfy Rapunzel
Rapunzel is by far my favourite Disney princess. I love getting pictures of her with the TARDIS.
Even Pascal has a stocking!!! Love the tiny details.
Week 1 – Tangled
The first week, we will be focussing on Tangled, the DIsney movie released in 2010. We are starting on September 7, even though it’s a holiday, because we’re just watching a movie on the first day. So her first real day of school will be the 8th.
I thought it was fitting after several months of quarantine to watch a movie about a girl locked in a tower for 18 years.
Here is the link for the downloadable materials. (I hope this works…please let me know if you have any problems so I can fix it!)
| Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday |

Post-Apocalyptic Disney
I love it when groups of friends really take a theme and run with it! this group went above and beyond.
Meeting Rapunzel
Rapunzel asked me if the TARDIS was a new kind of lantern…But was impressed that I had made it by hand.
Rapunzel’s Tower
I wish there was an attraction at Rapunzel’s Tower, but it was super lovely to see it and the courtyard. The bathrooms in this area are especially awesome!
