Why YOU Should Plan A Family Play Date

· · ·

This post brought to you by Quaker Oats. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Maybe I Will.

Do you remember family “get togethers” as a kid? Your parents would invite some other families over, usually for a BBQ and while the parents chatted and enjoyed some adult conversation, we kids ran wild playing,  doing general kid stuff. There was seldom interaction between the ranks.

Why taking time to play with our KIDS is so Important!

Quaker® Chewy® Granola Bars is inviting parents to re-think the play date to include EVERYONE! How much fun as a kid would you have had if Mom and Dad had got up and joined in on the fun? Sometimes my parents did, whenever they did I was always so excited! It is easy as a parent to forget that what your kids need most from you is simply you!

Quaker Play Date

That’s why FAMILY Play dates are a must! So grab another family or two and get out there and PLAY! It doesn’t have to be elaborate or expensive at all! Grab a ball and head to the park! Play some tag! I guarantee your children will NOT care what you do as long as you give them 100% of your energy and fun! This past weekend our little family packed up our stuff and met my Sister in St. George, UT for a whole weekend of Play Date fun, we caught tad poles, frogs, swam, played bocce ball, football, basketball and ate! Armed with the Ultimate Play Date Kit from Quaker® Chewy® Granola Bars – we had hours of and hours of family fun! We played and played and enjoyed delightfully delicious and made with the goodness of 8 grams of whole grains, Quaker® Chewy® Bars! They were the perfect hassle-free snack to keep us fueled to keep playing and sharing the fun together.
