My 5yr old son received a pair of 3-D glasses and a gift card so he could go check out the Sprinkle-Vision fun at our local Friendly's Restaurant. What's Sprinkle-Vision? Well, you take your child to Friendly's where he or she can use 3-D glasses to read the special table tent signs to see special codes which they write down to use on IWannaGoToFriendlys.com to unlock fun things for the online game.
Now if your child does not have 3-D glasses or if the restaurant has run out of them, you can still read the codes with the special lens attached to the table sign.
The more codes you find the better. Each one will unlock something fun for your child's avatar in the kids online game. When you first arrive to IWannaGoToFriendlys.com you will have to "Start Mission" by registering your child with a username, password, and the parent's email address. After you activate your child's account, he or she can create an avatar with their choice of face, shirt, pants, and shoes.
We have two contests to draw the winners for today, but there are 11 winners altogether. Normally, I would copy and paste the Random.org results right into this post along with the winning comment, but it will make the post too long today.
In April of 2009, Generation Cures launched a campaign in which children, with the help of adult sponsors, can raise money for research at Children's Hospital of Boston by playing games! The “Game for Good” game-a-thon runs for 8 weeks, so there is still time for your child to get involved. This would be a great way to teach your children that they do not have to be an adult to make a difference in this world.
When I hear the name Lands' End, I think about enjoying life with one's family in a relaxed and down-to-earth atmosphere. It is not so much a style of dressing or decorating your home, but more a way of life.
