Jimmy's Green Challenge is a great new way to help kids get in the know about everyday things they can do to help protect the environment (starting today). It is a kit that comes with an award-winning book, Jimmy's Gone Green, four wristbands, a poster, and a refrigerator magnet.
I am a firm believer that when you teach the little ones such things are important, they embrace that and will do them all throughout the rest of their lives. Teaching environmental responsibility is huge in my book, and I love that Jimmy's Green Challenge offers ten easy lessons that are both experiential (hands-on) and intellectual (by book).

Starter Kit Available at Amazon Includes Book, (4) Wristbands, Poster & Magnet |
In addition to the picture book, which is filled with ten easy-to-follow steps to help children start doing their part now, the starter kit also comes with a cute refrigerator magnet of Jimmy (an easy reminder for the kids because you know they're going in the 'fridge), a poster, and four wristbands.

Little man started T-Ball last week, and you can see his wristband here (on the right side, woohoo!) when we went to shop for mitts. |

On the 'oops' side. A gentle reminder that he left the water running a little bit after he washed his hands. |

When we got to Day 3 of not moving the wristband (the goal), we celebrated with ice cream at the park. Ice cream of course, is optional. ;) |
The pages on the left side of the book offer an age-appropriate way for children to do their part. |
The right side of the book offers a reason why the tip is important, and is accompanied by a picture. |
Recommended for ages 6+.

this is incredible, I'm going to check it out. xo
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for the mitt to be part of a game of throw the rubbish in the bin lol. Great sounding book though :) x
ReplyDeleteI have been working on getting my kids to be more green, but they don't always listen. This might be helpful and get my kids to actually listen and do it.
ReplyDeleteI have no children but agree that teaching them early is probably the best way to keep them at it the rest of their lives!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun way to get them to go more green. Although shame on me, I would fail as I leave the water on as I brush my teeth lol
ReplyDeleteWater? I thought you said champagne...
DeleteI know a good way to get a kid to take a five minute shower. Tell him if he hustles, he can have the iPad for a few minutes before he goes to bed. Disclaimer - his head will still smell like the outdoors ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa! I know that routine. :)
DeleteWonderful idea to help keep kids aware of their environment. My kids would love this type of activity.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great book! I must admit, my whole family and I needs to work on being more green.
ReplyDeletei hope the t-ball season goes well for you...we had our first game this week...its a whole different world when they are pitching to each other as well...a bit scary at times...ha....and i am def all for educating kids on the environment....
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your season over there too. :)
DeleteThis is very important to parents to teach their children how to care for mother earth. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
I also believe in getting them started young. What we learn early really does stick with us for a lifetime. I like the idea of having a gentle reminder bracelet to encourage these habits!
ReplyDeleteI need to do a lot of work with my kids...for anything.
ReplyDeleteThis seems, to be interesting.
Thanks for sharing xx
I think switching wrists with bracelet is such a cute idea. I agree, when you instill these values at a young age, they will last a lifetime!
ReplyDeleteAdorable little man and learning great habits ~ xoxo

ReplyDeleteStart them young so that they can learn too! Amber N
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute book! I love the picture of him with the ice cream!
ReplyDeleteThe little man is too cute!! =) Knowing my son, he would be totally into this! They thought him about recycling at school and now always talks about "saving the planet" lol He likes helping me sort of the recycle bin. I love the green wristband idea a lot!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, teaching the little guys these lessons early on helps them to value following through with them too.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea! I think my kids are pretty Eco-concious (is that word? ha!) but it's great to teach them young!!
