Mailbox Tuesday: Fall into SHOUT and Keep on Playing!


As you know I am a Growing Tree Toys Blog Networker and get to share some great contests/giveaways and review some wonderful learning toys with you! Today is NO exception!

We all know Shout as a stain remover, but did you know that they are firm believers that play is important to kids? Yes, not just because kids playing equals dirty clothes, and more business for Shout, but because they believe parents should concentrate on having fun WITH their kids and not worrying about kid’s clothes.

As the mother of a 3yr old that switched between tomboy and princess at the speed of light, I can tell you some things about kids and dirty clothes! If I didn't have faith in my stain removers, I would go nuts and keep kiddo in really inexpensive clothing! BUT I know I can trust Shout to help give kiddos clothes like they were BEFORE she went out and played, so no worries for MOM!

Shout has launched the Go Play! Initiative, on their Facebook page. "Go Play is all about encouraging kids and parents to get outside and play. Play is fundamental to positive cognitive development; it’s how kids solve problems; how they develop coping skills and master the art of conflict resolution. It’s how they become happy, healthy adults. We invite you to blog about your memories of play; how you get your kids outdoors to play; what they love to do while playing outdoors; and what you believe are some of the most rewarding benefits of play." 


You can visit the Shout Go Play page on Facebook for tips on Fall play activities, and how to remove pesky grass stains, among others!

I was sent a wonderful package of Shout items to review, including their Advanced Ultra Stain Removal Gel, a box of Shout Color Catcher cloths, and Triple Action Stain Removal Spray. All are excellent products and I was able to use them immediately, as the next day kiddo had a couple of doosy stains that needed to be delat with!

It has long been a go-to for us and stains on our clothes, and kiddos! BUT then we had the spaghetti sauce stains on kiddo's school uniform. SIGH. I have NO idea HOW she manages it, but red sauce ALWAYS ends up all over her shirt, and none on her jumper. Go figure, she's talented. LOL. Getting red sauce out of white uniform shirts is asking for miracles! But I grabbed the Ultra Gel and said let's see! Waa-laa, ALL, yes ALL the red sauce stains came OUT of the blouse! It looks brand new again! YEAH I love this gel! I also tried it on an unknown stain on one of kiddo's Christmas shirts form last year (that thankfully still fits) and while it didn't get it totally out, it is so faded, that now the shirt CAN be worn, as only I can tell where the stain is. I LOVE this stuff!
shout color catchers

You know I love to use color catching clothes to allow me to keep from having to do small loads, and wasting water. The Shout Color Catcher cloths are excellent at catching the dye that would normally stain your clothes! I love that they are NOT individually wrapped, making them more 'green' and less expensive for the consumer! I tried them with multiple loads, including a deep red chenille throw- ZERO bleed out!  YEAH!  I'm definitely keeping these in the laundry room!

52 nature activities
The 52 Nature Activities card set is adorable and offers some great ideas like bark rubbings, copying noises in nature, talking about opposites in nature. The activities are suitable for different ages and they are a great family resource!
