Top 10 Classic Children Movies

Summer holidays are here and it doesn’t matter how hard you try to keep your kids occupied they still will get bored. That’s just something all kids do.

Summer days around our house get really hot and sometimes it’s best to hide indoors with the A/C on.

By afternoon the boys are really beat from the heat, bored and of course cranky.

Last year I started movie matinee everyday we spent at home. The boys love it. They get to relax and unwind.The quiet time helps everybody to calm down.

My older son is a movie buff. He loves to watch old classics. I try to introduce my kids to many different movies especially classic movies with strong message.

We made a list of top 10 classic movies we want to see this summer. These are for older kids from ages 8/10 and up.
