This giveaway is now closed.  Thanks for stopping by.  The winner is Brooke.  Congrats!

Two of my favorite companies have partnered together for a fabulous summer promotion.  I’ve shared with you my love of photography and Snapfish is one of the companies I go to for quality, affordable photo gifts.  And very soon, I’ll be sharing with you my thoughts on LeapFrog’s new Tag Junior learning system.  But first, here are some details on a fun summer promotion, brought to you by both companies.

Snapfish has partnered with LeapFrog to create a “Snapfish Summer Photo Adventure” for children and parents to enjoy a fun and educational digital photography journey this summer.  Whether you’re traveling or staying local, the family-oriented activities were designed to keep your children engaged, entertained, and educated. As part of each activity, children and parents are encouraged to take photos related to a particular theme and upload them to a scavenger hunt map (how fun is that?).  The challenges are based on the following:

Coastal Adventures

Camping & Outdoors

Theme Parks

Fun & Games Around the Home

Here are the details:

When a challenge is completed, participants will earn 50% off a collage poster from Snapfish.

Complete the challenges within all four themes and participants will earn a 5 x 7 photo book that can be customized with photos and captions.

If you complete a challenge, you’ll receive $5 off Tag Junior and $3 off any Tag Junior book from LeapFrog (we have this and it’s so much fun).  It’s a portable book pal that brings special dot-enabled board books to life.  My son loves hearing the excerpts read out loud and listening to the sounds and songs.

Participants will also be entered to win a free flip book or photo book each time they complete all seven challenges within a theme.

And those who upload a flipbook or photobook will be entered to win a Tag Junior.

I know that’s a lot of info.  But I think it’s definitely a fun activity for parents and children, particularly when we’re all looking for cost-effective, creative ideas for engaging children this summer.  Plus it’s a great way to introduce the beauty of photography early on.

If that’s not all, Snapfish has a few other contests that you can participate in this summer including a Family Gatherings Contest where users can enter photos of their favorite summer family gatherings in exchange for prizes (photo mugs, canvases, tote bags, etc.) and a Summer Food Photo Contest where users can submit photos based on the food that most represents summer to them.

Check out all of this and more on their website.
