Shimmer and Shine: Magical Mischief | My Thoughts

Shimmer and Shine are two small genies who are BIG in my house. 

"Magical Mischief" includes 8 Shimmer and Shine tales. Each tale runs about 13-14 minutes long.

When watching Shimmer and Shine on TV, each 30 minute block is broken into 2 tales (unless otherwise advertised) the tales on this DVD are on individualized, each one has the opening theme song and ending credits. If you select "Play All" they'll play back to back to back. But, if you select, "Episode Selection" after each tale you'll be brought back to the episode menu, signaling that the tale is over.

This is a great feature and helps me greatly when negotiating TV time with my preschooler, when I say "just one more", what would normally mean 30 minutes (when watching live TV), here is less than 15.

My personal favorite included on this DVD, and what inspired me to create our own wishing bracelets is "Genie for a Day". Leah wishes she could grant wishes for someone and Boom! she gets her own wish granting bracelets and gets to fulfill three wishes!

DIY Wish Granting Bands | Mess-Free Version

Glitter not your thing? Don't worry, I got you. 

For the mess-free version I opted for yellow construction paper because that is what I had on hand however, a gold/glittery card stock will probably work as well as long as it is not too thick.

Mess-Free: Step 4
Flatten out the paper towel roll cuffs and trace them onto a piece of yellow construction paper.

Mess-Free: Step 5
Cut out the strips and adhere them to the paper towel roll cuffs (you can use glue or tape)

Messy: Step 8
Start granting wishes!
