I first found The Boxcar Children on Netflix. Of course I did. I’m a member of the Netflix #Streamteam and get access to this great service plus some insider info each month. All opinions of Netflix though are strictly my own. I find so many great programs for myself and my kids on Netflix that I want to share!
I was looking for a movie for a family pizza and movie night during one of Atlanta’s non-snowing snow days (#soannoying) and found The Boxcar Children. It held the attention of all my kids (ranging from 2 to 7 at the time) and both my husband and I were engaged as well. I was thrilled to learn that the book The Boxcar Children is still available and my 2nd grade daughter is happy to have a new book to devour read.
