Kohl’s Care for Kids Review and Giveaway-Mercer Mayer’s Little Critter Plush and Books!

*I work with Kohl’s on promotions. All my opinions are my own and not swayed by outside sources.*

I talk a lot about Kohl’s on my site because I am a big believer in them having outstanding merchandise at very reasonable prices. I visit my local Kohl’s at least once a week and always find the greatest deals on clothes, outdoor living, pajamas, accessories, and so much more! When you check out at your local Kohl’s, you might notice plush toys and books that are each $5. If you are not familiar with these $5 items, it is part of the Kohl’s Care for Kids program, that is a truly outstanding program!

kohls-logoHere is information about what purchasing these items will do for the community:

    I have a dual most-liked about this, first I lvoe that they use classic characters that us parents grew up with. Secondly and perhaps even more so than my first like, is that they have character plushes. I would have been over the moon happy with a Little Critter plush when I was a little girl. The Little Critter books were my favorite. I loved how he always tried doing things with the best intentions and they would somehow end horribly, but his mom still loved him. I think “Just for You” was the name of the first Little Critter book I read and loved.
