30 Ways to Get Up and Play – Giveaway

When our state shutdown due to COVID-19, I did not anticipate all the ways our lives would change. Our family is adaptable though, and the three of us began getting creative with our time, particularly on weekends when our responsibilities are light. Thankfully, going outside is not canceled…and neither is play! From outdoor forts and recipe challenges to bike rides and campfires, here are my favorite ways to Get Up & Play with my kids.

The coupons for product redemption, information, and gift card have been provided by Entenmann’s Little Bites® so that I could try the product and share my thoughts and information about Entenmann’s Little Bites®. The opinions expressed in this post are my own and do not reflect the opinions of Entenmann’s Little Bites®.

The Benefits of Play

The benefits of play are numerous and essential for a child’s development. From the development of imagination and peer relationships to improved language and executive functioning, play is vital to health brain development (American Academy of Pediatrics).
