Join Us for the Summer of Play Challenge! Share Your Play to Win!
Even though summer should be a time to forget about schedules, to-do lists and responsibilities, it can be too easy to let these sweet, steamy days go by without truly slowing down for some good, old-fashioned, unstructured play. That's why we've teamed up with KaBOOM!, the nonprofit dedicated to bringing play to all children, to promote a SUMMER OF PLAY.
All summer long we'll be sharing hundreds of ideas for play, plus some fun tips and tools in our SUMMER OF PLAY GUIDE. On Monday, June 23, we'll be posting the ultimate summer play list with 100 great ways to get started. Then once a week we'll share more play ideas and add them to the guide.
To help make sure you never run out of inspiration, we've created a SUMMER FUN LIST GENERATOR, a cute way to save your summer fun bucket list visually in your home. That way it's always there when you need an idea and you never forget to add a little play to your day.

Of course, everything is more fun when you do it together, so we hope you'll share your play with our community. We'll be sharing new ideas here, on our SUMMER OF PLAY Pinterest board, in our weekly newsletters, and on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #summerofplay. Add your SUMMER OF PLAY photos and ideas to the conversation using the hashtag #summerofplay, and then follow us and #summerofplay to see what others are sharing.
We hope you'll join us in our SUMMER OF PLAY CHALLENGE. If you do, share your play and you could win some great prizes. Every Friday through August 15, 2014, we'll randomly pick one person's #summerofplay entry to win a KaBOOM! Go Out and Play! Backpack filled with play essentials.
At the end of the summer, we'll also pick one grand prize winner to receive an ULTIMATE SUMMER OF PLAY BASH! We'll send you toys, party essentials and everything you need to throw a super-fun bash for your family and friends, the perfect end to an awesome summer. Find out all the rules, prize details and how to enter on our SUMMER OF PLAY CHALLENGE page.
We hope you'll join us as we power off our screens and power up for loads of fun with our kids!
