The kids were super excited to see the cups of Tropicana orange juice all lined up to make one big orange!
They were also thrilled to be able to write their name on an orange and hang it up on our very own version of the Tree of Giving. It was a great visual way to get the point across that for every virtual orange picked, Tropicana will donate a full serving of orange juice to a child in need. The tree was in full bloom in no time and it only took a few minutes to complete the task - just as much time as it takes to go through picking the orange online.
The moms were alarmed to hear the stats about the number of children that don't get a healthy start to the day. Did you know that 31% of elementary school aged kids go to school without breakfast! Unreal!
Miss Maribeth from Scribble n Splatter got on board too by providing two crafts for the little ones to complete. Our theme this month is actually fire trucks so the infants designed abstract trucks using their feet as the base and the toddlers / preschoolers put together a firetruck collage.
They all then participated in making hand print orange trees with green paint and orange tissue paper balls - absolutely brilliant and a great tie in with our sponsor!
After all their hard work creating and learning everyone got a chance to sample a tall glass of juice and a few of our moms ended up being the lucky winners of a carton of Tropicana Orange Juice to take home with them. What a great way to end the program!
