Oral B Stages and Winnie The Pooh Mommy Party!

After being selected for another fantastic party from Mommy Parties we were super excited!  All our Mommy Parties in the past were super fun so we expected the Oral B Stages and Winnie the Pooh party to be just as much fun!  

Here's what each guest went home with:

• Oral-B Stages Toothbrush in either stage 1 or 2 depending upon the age of the child.  The toothbrushes came in an assortment of colors.
• Oral-B Stages Toothpaste in either a Cars theme or Disney Princesses.  Of course the girls received the Disney Princesses and the boys received the Cars themes.  
• Oral-B Stages information packet and coupons to use on Oral B products.
• 1 bottle of Disney Lavender Body Wash
• Packaged in a Guest Gift Bag

Here's what was also included in our party pack:

• (1) Winnie the Pooh DVD
• Popcorn and Popcorn boxes
• Fun Trivia Flash Cards
• Coupons,  and more!

We were especially excited to watch the Winnie the Pooh DVD and learn all about Oral B Stages products.  They fit perfectly with our age range of children who ranged in age from 6 months to four years of age, even though there were a few brothers and sisters that attended that were over four they still had a lot of fun too! 

Before the party we blew up each balloon,  so each guest could have their very own Oral-B balloon.  As the guests arrived we had the Winnie the Pooh DVD playing and had them visit a small "Concession Stand" that included popcorn in the cute little popcorn boxes that were provided for the party, Pooh bear honey and peanut butter sandwiches for the older children and baby snacks for the younger babies.  As each guest walked in the door we had my oldest son play usher and collect their "admission tickets" (invites). children all brought their own sleeping bags,  so they could get comfy during the movie. 

After the movie ended we discussed with the guests the importance of brushing your teeth and anual visits to the dentist.  We set up a small area where the children could try out their new Oral-B items as they needed it after enjoying all the goodies from the "Concession Stand".  After a vote,  the children decided that their overall favorite flavor of the toothpaste was the Fruit Burst. After testing out the toothpaste and toothbrushes we played the Oral-B Flashcard game which helped teach them how to maintain healthy dental care and the importance of doing so.  

Overall the party was a huge sucess not to mention a ton of fun!  The kids went home with happy with a huge smile on their face thanks to MomSelect and Oral-B!

Winnie the Pooh DVD

Growing up,    I always had fond memories of watching Winnie the Pooh as a child and now I am pleased that my children have fond memories of watching Winnie the Pooh as well. It is a classic cartoon that is loved by children around the world, including mine. We have been anxiously awaiting it's debut on DVD,   and was super excited to get to watch it before it hits the shelves on October 25th. 

Once again,  Winnie the Pooh and his group of friends return to the Hundred Acre Wood!  This all new movie is inspired by three stories from A.A. Milne's books in Disney's classic,  hand drawn art.  This movie features the same characters we have grown to love over the years including Tigger,  Eeyore,  Piglet,   Kanga,   Roo,  Owl,  Rabbit,  and of course the one and only Winnie the Pooh.  When Owl sends the gang on a zany quest to find Christopher Robin to save him from an imaginary culprit,  the day soon gets very busy for Winnie the Pooh,  who originally planned on spending the day gathering honey.   During this movie,  Pooh bear stumbles into one problem after another,  when all he originally wanted was a little bit of honey. 

This Winnie the Pooh film follows a story book format in which the seem as if they are being read from a book.  My sons especially appreciate this because they love books.  Throughout the movie your child will enjoy fun songs such as  "Tummy Songs" and "Everything is Honey".  Winnie the Pooh is the same old cartoon that has the same values as it did years ago.  This is especially nice because a majority of the newer cartoons these days just don't have the same qualities as the ones did during my childhood.  This wonderful film breathes new life to the old bear,  and I am sure you will agree. 

My children enjoyed watching Winnie the Pooh and I am sure yours will too! This movie runs for about 60 minute which is just the right length for my soon to be three year old son.   Winnie the Pooh would make a perfect holiday gift for your children,  your niece's and nephews,  grandchildren,  or just about any children you may know.  Trust me,   you don't want to miss out on this heatwarming story. 

BUY IT:  You can purchase Disney's Winnie the Pooh on Blu-ray and DVD beginning on October 25th.
