Were you a fan of Strawberry Shortcake and her friends when you were younger? I was! And now my daughter is a fan. She got a little Strawberry Shortcake doll from McDonald’s a few weeks ago and she smells so good that I’ve actually sneaked a few smells. Don’t judge me! đ
On March 5th, a new Strawberry Shortcake film, Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Friends Forever is coming to DVD! You can print out this Free Strawberry Shortcake Coloring Sheet and get your little one prepared for the movie!
To keep your kids on the right track, here are some of the âberryâ best manners that Strawberry and Blueberry would approve of!
- Keep Your Elbows Off The Table – While the origin of this table manner is still up for debate, itâs âberryâ polite to keep your elbows off the table while eating! Resting your elbows on the table while you eat makes you prone to accidental spills and other mishaps, while remembering to keep your elbows off the table ensures that food, utensils, and drinks remain on the table and out of your lap!
- Always Use Your âInside Voiceâ – Itâs easy to get excited when talking about something you love and are excited about, or when having fun with your berry best friends, but itâs important to always use your âinside voice.â If youâre invited to a formal event like the Berry Bitty Buggy Derby like Strawberry and her pals are, youâd have to do your best to not yell to show your excitement!
- Always Use âPleaseâ and âThank youâ – Always remember to say, âpleaseâ before asking for something, and âthank youâ when someone does something to help you. Using âpleaseâ and âthank youâ isnât just a way to be polite when asking for something, but itâs also a nice way to decline someoneâs offer. Letâs say a friend offers you a snack at their house, but youâre allergic to the food â what do you say? âNo, thank you!â
- Knock Before Entering – If someone has the door to their bedroom, the bathroom, etc. closed, you should always knock and ask for permission to come in before entering. In general, people shut doors when they donât want company, so if you want to be on your âberryâ best behavior, you should always knock!
- Chew With Your Mouth Closed – No matter how yummy your food is, always remember that those youâre eating with donât want to see your chewed food hanging out of your mouth! Even though everyone enjoys tasty food, itâs important to chew food with your mouth closed so that you donât accidentally gross out your dining companions. Chewing with your mouth closed also helps you keep from dropping chewed food on your clothes and the table. Another âberryâ good tip: donât talk with your mouth full of food either â itâs considered polite to finish chewing and then speak!
