Turn off the TV and Go Play Outside This Saturday in Celebration of Worldwide Day of Play!


The Worldwide Day of Play is on September 24th, 2011! It's the centerpiece of Nickelodeon's "The Big Help," a program set up to empower kids and families to make healthy lifestyle choices every day. On Saturday, September 24th, kids and families are being encouraged to participate in the Worldwide Day of Play to turn off the TV and play outside. Being physical and playing outside can improve your health and the health of your family, as well as the self-esteem and well being of children. Teach your children about being healthy and limit the amount of TV they watch daily. Encourage them to be more physical and to play outside a few times a day.
 
 
Clorox 2® is a proud sponsor of Nickelodeon's 8th Annual Worldwide Day of Play, take the Clorox2® Play 2Day pledge to play outside! 
 
My children and I spend at least one to two days a week outside playing. We take walks, ride bikes, they play in their kiddie pool, blow bubbles, have races, draw on our drive way or sidewalk with sidewalk chalk, run and play with our dogs, fly kites, play in our above ground swimming pool, and more! My children love to paint, color, and play with play dough! It's so much easier to clean up these messes outside then it is inside! I just grab the hose to rinse off my children and their messes! They really love running through the spray from the hose!
 
My friends and I set up weekly play dates at our local park. It's great to catch up and watch our children play together! I always keep a camera in my pocket too! It's so great to get photos of my children playing at the park, and I don't have to turn on the lights in our home to get a great photo. For more Tips and ideas on what you and your children can do outside, check here.


We will soon be able to play in Autumn colored piles of leaves that our neighbors trees have dropped on the ground! I can hardly wait! This also makes for some great memories, and photos to use on Christmas Cards!

Click today and Pledge to take your children outside more often! You can also click on activities after taking the Clorox2® Play 2Day pledge to play outside. Choose up to three activities a day for three chances to Win something from Clorox2! 




When you and your family are done playing outside and their clothes are stained, there are even tips on the Clorox2 Website on how to clean out stains using Clorox2, such as Grass, Blood, Dirt, and Mud! You can also download a FREE myStain Smartphone Application for your iPhone or Smartphone!
