This evening, I brewed a fresh pot of coffee and now I'm feeling all energized. I am also eager to get those creative juices a-flowing. You see, I have the pleasure of sharing with you a super fun contest that is currently running on the Energizer Bunny Canada Facebook fan page. It is called the Energizer Free Their Imagination contest and its aim is to celebrate the joy and benefits of playtime. Since Crayola products support "creative play," they have partnered with Energizer to maximize children's creativity by giving away some of their amazing products. At the time of this posting, I noted that there are currently 2,304 Crayola prizes up for grabs!

Every hour, a new prize will be available to be won from June 25 until October 1, 2012. Click the Enter Now button during the hour in which the prize you would like to win is being offered in order to be eligible. This means that you can enter once per hour. If you opt-in to receiving the Energizer and/or Crayola newsletter when you register, you will get three extra entries every time you enter. And if you have bonus PINs, make sure to enter them before clicking the 'Enter Now' button. Bonus PINs are worth one extra entry each for every hour you enter. Where do you find these bonus PINs? So glad you asked. As an Energizer blogger, I just so happen to have an exclusive code for those of you who keep on reading and reading and reading. Seriously, where do you find the energy?

Also, check out the How to Play tab on the Energizer Bunny Canada Free Their Imagination app for a list of other Energizer bloggers with their own codes to share. For more details visit www.facebook.com/EnergizerBunnyCanada.

While you wait for the hour to be up, why not share some of your children's favourite summertime activities? Do they spend most of their time outdoors or would they rather be indoors sitting at the craft table? Generally, my kids want to play outside all day long. They are always excited to play with the neighbours' kids and one of the activities they enjoy involves sidewalk chalk. Regardless of the fact that we don't have any sidewalks. Our paved driveway makes up for it since it serves as a long canvas upon which they can free their imagination. On rainy days, though, the kids are quite content with their Crayola Masterworks art case and some paper, or even their Colour Wonder colouring books. These days are perfect for mom to sneak away and get crafty with some of Diana's Designs.
