Giveaway: Fun-a-go-go Makes Eating Out Fun-a-gain

2/6/08 - By Anna Fader
homesideimagebw.jpgLast week we posted about Drop and Dine, a fabulous new way to enjoy dinner out at a restaurant together/alone with your toddler or child. Today we've got another great solution for eating out with kids??”Fun-a-Go-Go??”and we're giving away whole party pack of them. Fun-a-Go-Go is a deceptively simple solution for entertaining children in a restaurant. It's just a small folio with a dry erase board and marker that clips on so it never gets lost. The kit has dozens of game and activity ideas printed on it to keep your little one entertained through even the longest restaurant meal. There's even more ideas posted on their website, or you can make up your own. Recommended for children ages 3 and up, I think Fun-a-Go-Go is great. I love the simplicity of it, the way it allows you to interact with your children to get them set up in games that they can then continue on their own, allowing you to eat and talk.

And it's a lot of fun packed into a very small package. The thing is basically as thin as a piece of cardboard, light and yet there's hours of fun in there. Just slip it into your purse, diaper bag, stroller or even a large pocket to pull out in an emergency. I think it would be great for entertaining kids in a car for long car trips or other travel too. Fun-a-Go-Go could really come in handy during the upcoming winter vacation. I hope there will be car versions and more soon. The one thing I'd love to see different is colored markers, but for now I'll keep some extra markers in a small zipper bag. Fun-a-Go-Go feels like something that a real mom would create...and it is. Sheilah Crowley is a mom of two and has tested this product out on her toughest critics, her own children. No wonder it's so thought-out. Sheilah, who has worked in the non-profit world, has certainly provided a public service to all parents with Fun-a-Go-Go. We're giving away a party pack of twelve Fun-a-Go-Go kits. You can either use them as party favors or give them to friends, or just tuck one into each of your bags so you always have one on hand. To enter to win this giveaway you must leave a comment on this post telling us what your winter vacation plans are (even if it's an urban stay-cation). Only comments left by Saturday, February 9th, 2008 will be counted. We will pick one winner at random and announce the results early next week. One entry per person please, but feel free to email this link to your friends (maybe they'll share if they win).
