Parenting As Seen on TV

March 3, 2010 33 Comments

Parenting is taking the TV limelight this week. Parenthood debuted yesterday on NBC and tomorrow night is the long awaited “baby episode” when Pam and Jim have their baby on The Office.

For some, watching a show on parenting is anything but relaxing. For others it’s a welcome break to laugh at scenarios that are vaguely similar to their own life. Here at Kolcraft we know that as a parent, grandparent or caregiver, you have real-life advice as well as tried and true tips to share. Here is you chance to debut your parenting skills!

Kolcraft is hosting Parenthood – the Real Story Facebook contest. You are in the “director’s seat” and get to craft your version of what the world needs to know about parenting. To enter the contest:

  • Fan Kolcraft on Facebook (if you already are a Kolcraft fan, pat yourself on the back because you are one step ahead!)
  • Post a two minute or less video of your “killer real-world”  parenting tip
  • If you are not very video savvy, that’s okay because you can post a photo collage with a 300 character (or less) “killer real-world” parenting tip
  • Entries will be judged by creativity, originality and “real-world” application
  • Contest ends March 13th at midnight CST. Winner will be announced on March 15th.

Winner will receive a Contours Options 3 wheeler stroller and a Contours 2 stage crib mattress valued at $480.00!

We  look forward to seeing new parenting stars rising on our Kolcraft fan page!


Are You an Olympic Parent?

February 24, 2010 1 Comment

Daring feats of strength and endurance, extreme talent and strenuous preparation have marked the athletes of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. We all marvel at the likes of Shaun White and Lindsey Vonn – there definitely are no lack of heroes and heroines in the Olympic Village.

Watching the Olympics got us thinking of moms and dads who perform heroic events day in and day out. We are sure you have spent countless nights tending to your little ones when they were sick or just afraid of the night. You have juggled hectic schedules of work, school and activities and somehow still find those few extra minutes to snuggle your child or tell a bedtime story.

Here at Kolcraft we are acknowledging your Olympic feats of parenting. To honor you, we are hosting an Olympic event on Twitter to win a Jeep Travel Anywhere Sport  2 in 1 Booster Seat & Everyday Bag.  All you have to do is follow Kolcraft on Twitter and post a tweet on which Olympic athlete most models your parenting style & why. Please use hashtag #kolcraft so we are sure to see your tweet. We already have some great entries so join the fun. You may just win the Olympic prize!
