The holidays more than ever we seem to make it a priority to teach our children the importance of helping others and Monkeez and friends is a really fun way to do it! Monkeez Makes a Difference gives children the opportunity to learn and practice giving back while having fun.
The website www.monkeezandfriends.com teaches children how important it is to help others by using kid-friendly tools like online games, adorable stuffed characters, real-life Do Good challenges and a special donation on a child’s behalf to one of three nationally renowned charities of his or her choice!
The plush chacters are seriously cute and come in more than 90 designs including characters such as monkeys, owls, bears, lions, dogs, cats, pigs, cows, octopuses, panda bears, kangaroos, turtles, koalas, alligators, hedgehogs, elephants, hippos, zebras, frogs, bunnies and raccoons. There are multiple sizes to choose from in the program for different price points and can be purchased from nd www.MonkeezAndFriends.com and independent retailers across the USA.
Once you have your cuddly friend, help your children to follow the instructions on the tag and visit www.MonkeezAndFriends.com. There, they can enter the code and watch videos about each charity that partners with Monkeez Makes a Difference, including Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, Samaritan’s Purse and Best Friends Animal Society.
After selecting the charity of their choice, children unlock the door to an interactive and educational online world. Children can revisit the site as many times as they’d like to play educational games and learn more about what they can do to help others on Monkeez Island!
Christmas is the perfect time to teach children about giving back to others and Monkees Makes a Difference is just a really fun way to sit down with your child and get them involved! Right now you can only purchase the Monkees characters in the US but the contest to win a character below is open to both Canada and the US.
