How to make sure your kids stay active during summer?
3. Wear comfy shoes and clothes. Kids need comfy clothes and shoes when moving. Activewear is the best. Choose clothes and shoes according to the weather and activity you are participating in. For walking and running, make sure they wear closed toe shoes and socks. When you are wearing the right clothes, playing is more fun.
4. Include your pet in the activities. We bought Bolillo (our Maltese dog) home about 7 months ago and since then, we’ve been changing and adjusting our routines to include him. We don’t want our dog to stay indoors. Pets, especially puppies, and kids need their daily dose of outdoor play. Having a dog at home makes you more active, and the kids happier. If you go to a park, make sure it’s pet friendly. Too bad he can’t go to the movies with us to watch “The Secret Life of Pets”.
Don’t forget to put a leash on your dog. |
5. Find a new place to go. We love going to the park, and here in Peoria, Il, parks are just beautiful. We have our favorites, but once in awhile we try to find a new place to explore. Trails are fun too because they are in the woods and you get to see lots of vegetation, listen to the birds, and even watch animals like rabbits, squirrels and raccoons. Just try not to disturb them. This one in particular, reminds me so much of my hometown. My dad always enjoyed taking us outdoors to places like these and maybe that’s why I find the trails so pretty and make me feel a bit nostalgic.
6. Go grocery shopping with them. My girls are picky eaters, even with snacks, but I try to do my best and take them grocery shopping so they can choose their favorite food and snacks they want to eat at home or at the park. We recently went to Walmart and picked some Mott’s® Apple Juice and Mott’s Applesauce pouches. I like that Mott’s helps me teach my kids to make smart snack choices, and the products go really well with the grapes my youngest picked, and the strawberries we got on Sunday at the open market. Did I mention all the walking at the store?
The Mott’s Apple Juice 8oz 6 pk is our favorite size because it fits perfectly in the lunch box. |
There is a Mott’s Apple Cherry applesauce variety, but my kids prefer the original Apple flavor. |
And you know what else we enjoy as a family? Going to the movies! I don’t remember the last time we went but I’m pretty sure the next movie we want to see is The Secret Life of Pets, and we are getting a ticket thanks to the purchase of Mott’s products!
Aisles you can find eligible Mott’s products. |
Yes, you read it right. We got our Mott’s Apple Juice and Applesauce because we needed snacks, but when we saw on the labels that we could get a free child’s movie ticket we felt lucky! If you purchase 3 of the Mott’s Apple Juice or Mott’s Applesauce products, you get a free ticket, but if you buy 5 products, you also get a $8 movie voucher.
The redemption process is so easy!

Finding new places to go makes it so much more fun to be outside – especially if your kids get bored easily.
