Being a kid is just plain awesome. When I watch my girls I often think, “I wish I could get away with doing that.”
I wish I could get away with wearing a princess crown to the grocery story or dancing to the song in my head — in public. It’s just plain fun to be a kid, and there is no better time to revel in the reasons it is great to be a kid than in the summer – that wide-open space of time that is filled with possibilities. (Yet another reason it is great to be a kid!)
There are a million reasons why it’s fun to be a kid, and this summer Popsicle will celebrate those reasons by publishing a “Rules for Being a Kid” guidebook. To aid in the creation of the guidebook, Popsicle is asking parents to share their “Rules for Being a Kid” for a chance to be featured in the guidebook and a chance to win a cash prize of $500.
Throughout May fans are invited to share their rules for being a kid on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, or Vine along with photos and images that bring that rule to life. To enter the contest, just be sure to include the hashtags #PopsicleRules and #contest to make your entry count.
This kid rule was inspired by this photo of my daughters eating raspberries. Yes, this is how my girls always eat their raspberries — every time.
