Outdoor Activities To Do With Kids AND Scott Naturals Kit Giveaway




You may remember my post about Scott Naturals 4 Week Challenge last week. Through TheMotherhood, I have been given the opportunity to test drive their hybrid paper products: paper towels, facial tissue, napkins and flushable moist wipes...all made with recycled fiber. With it being Earth Month, I am especially excited to take part in this challenge and help teach my kids about the importance of taking care of the planet we live in.
As I mentioned, Scott Naturals is also partnering with the National Wildlife Federation.
For every unique click-thru from this link http://www.ScottBrand.com/4WeekTestDrive, Scott Naturals will donate $1 (up to $25,000 total) to the National Wildlife Federation!!

The NWF puts a huge emphasis on getting kids outside, and with the weather getting nicer here in the Midwest, it's been the perfect time to do so. One fun thing the kids and I have done, is get out our box of reusables (the items I put aside to reuse for different activities - empty egg cartons, toilet paper tubes, etc.) and made binoculars out of toilet paper rolls. They each got to decorate them how they wanted to, and were very excited to get outside and check out all the animals. Both of them had a blast! We enjoyed watching birds and squirrels up close and personal with these fun homemade binoculars. It was neat to sit down and make them with the kids, explaining how we were reusing these products and why it's great for our environment. You can never start too young!


As the weather gets even warmer, I know we'll be spending even more time outside enjoying everything from picnics to nature scavenger hunts! I will also be taking advantage of the fun NWF "Be Out There" activity finder for ideas on getting outside with kids! TheMotherhood is also partnering with the NWF for a program called B Kind 2 Earth Day, and there are a lot of great ides for getting outdoors with your kids on the Facebook Page too!

In honor of Earth Month and Scott Naturals Hybrid Paper Products, Scott Naturals has offered one lucky reader a Scott Naturals Kit like the one we received! (Kit includes: Scott Naturals Tissue, Scott Naturals Towels, Scott Naturals Napkins, Scott Naturals Flushable Moist Wipes)! The winner from last week's giveaway is, commenter #81, SCMOMOF2BOYS. Congrats!

  9. 1. Right now, I'm teaching my youngest how to ride a bike without training wheels. She's scared of falling and I'm finding it hard to let go.

    2. We love having water fights on hot days using balloons and water guns. Super soakers anyone??
