Toys “R” Us and #PlayWithPurpose partnering with Save the Children + a $50 Toys “R” Us Gift Card Giveaway!

I work with Toys “R” Us and was compensated. All my opinions are my own and not swayed by outside sources. This week it was announced that  Toys“R”Us will participate in the  PLAY WITH PURPOSE fundraising and awareness campaign in partnership with Save the Children (a nonprofit committed to ensuring all U.S. children have a healthy start).   This mission is to help  provide children in impoverished regions of the country with opportunities and resources to integrate purposeful play into their everyday lives; a factor proven critical in children’s emotional, physical and cognitive development and future growth. With three small children, this campaign holds near and dear to my heart. I am a firm believer that play is so important to grow them socially and educationally. We play in our household every chance we get. I have seen first hand just how playing has made my children grow up into amazing little toddlers and school age children.  However, I also know that  15.5 Million U.S. Children live in poverty and these children never get the chance to experience the delights of play. They are never given the chance to play and this just saddens me. Even 10 minutes of play helps improve children’s performances in every aspect of their lives.  Play Enhances the Progress of Early Development by 34%! This is amazing and every child should be afforded the opportunity to play!Screen Shot 2016-02-19 at 1.00.49 PM Now we can all help out Toys “R” Us with this amazing campaign! It is quite simple to do!  From February 17 – April 17, customers can make cash donations at any Toys“R”Us or Babies“R”Us store, or online at Toysrus.com/PlayWithPurpose, to help bring learning through play to kids in need. You can also share this video on social media tagging @ToysRUs and #PlayWithPurpose to bring even more awareness to this AMAZING campaign. Donations will support Save the Children’s early childhood development programs, which help children in some of America’s most underprivileged areas thrive. Please check out this link: #PlayWithPurpose to learn more and PLEASE help to support this amazing cause.   Play builds the foundation for a lifetime of learning! Giveaway: One winner will receive a $50 Toys “R” Us Gift Card. This giveaway is run via rafflecopter so click read more to see the actual giveaway. The only mandatory entry is to watch this video and tell me what you learned. While the other entries are optional, I highly suggest filling them out to increase your chances of winning. US Only. Good luck! a Rafflecopter giveaway

    The video shows how important play is for kid’s development. Play is important for kids in regards to memory skills, vocabulary becomes larger and they develop by using all 5 senses. Take time to play with your child and allow them a chance to explore in a safe setting. Play is the glue that keeps families together. Families that invest in play activities give their kids a really good start and it pays off.

As a Montessori educator, I am 100% behind any education and awareness programs that will increase the level of awareness of best practices in child raising and caring. Whole families, communities, nations could be improved by implementing the strategies highlighted in this video.
