Be a Tooth Fairy Hero with Tom’s of Maine (Giveaway)

January 12, 2013 By Anne

Taking care of your teeth and your child’s teeth is super important. Of course you have to set a good example right?

Right now Tom’s of Maine has a cool contest going on “Be a Tooth Fairy Hero” art project. This is part of their annual Dental Health for All charitable giving program. They are inviting children to break out their crayons and creativity to draw an artistic interpretation of the beloved Tooth Fairy to help smiles in need. Or if they are not that creative they do have a coloring sheeting you can download and color.

You can enter your child/children’s drawing of the Tooth Fairy into the national drawing at www.tomsofmaine.com/toothfairy. We download the coloring sheet provided, although my daughter may try her hand at the tooth fairy. Ten entries will be randomly selected, awarding a $10,000 donation on each winner’s behalf to a dental clinic in your state, plus toothpaste for your child’s entire school.

This is a such simple and easy way to help raise awareness about the need for access to dental care and even a chance to talk to your kids about the importance of good oral care habits. You could even get your child’s class involved. What a fun class project!

The last day to enter is March 15, 2013

This year marks 10 years of the Tom’s of Maine Dental Health for All program and $1 million donated to community dental clinics nationwide, dedicated to providing more families with regular screenings and check-ups. To date, the company’s funding has helped make more than 200,000 additional patient visits possible.

My Pretty Playhouse Review/Giveaway

January 9, 2013 By Anne

What little girl or boy doesn’t enjoy a playhouse? They make fort and house out of whatever they can get their hands on. Having a “playhouse” full time can take up a lot of room, so I love temporary houses. they get used and used and then they can go away.

We received My Pretty Playhouse, which a little bit of both. My Pretty Playhouse is made out from 100% recycled cardboard. The kids can decorate the playhouse and when your done you can fold it back up and save it for another day. Or use it until it’s done!

We put ours together in our den. I put most of it together by myself, but had to enlist my hubby or the roof. The directions do indicate that this a two person job. Once done, Savannah had a great time going in and looking out the windows.

She can stand up inside.

Then comes the fun part for her – decorating. We got out her markers and crayons, these did not come with the house. I help at her insistence. You can see the eggs the duck is sitting on below. My only wish was that there were more “items” to color. Some of the other house sold do have more to decorate. Savannah still had lots of fun coloring and starting coloring on the inside as well.

Savannah has had several friends over and they all have fun hiding and giggling in the playhouse.

My Pretty Playhouse is affordable at $34.99. The size is great and can work just about anywhere. Plus you can recycle it when you are all done. It is recommended for ages three and up. But it’s not the only cool toy from Boutique Cascades. They also carry other playhouse than this one, birdhouses, cars, tables and chairs – all made out of recycled cardboard! All ready to decorate!
