Who doesn’t like parties?  Winnie the Pooh? Family and Friends? Fun…Fun..Fun?  Well, thanks to a recent opportunity from MommyParties and Oral B, I was able to enjoy all of the above, as I was selected to host an Oral-B Stages party.  

As part of being a party host, I was sent the following to in my Oral-B Stages party kit,

• (5) Oral-B Stage I Brushes

Stages 1: A toothbrush designed for babies ages 4 to 24 months.

Even before teeth come in, it’s time to start gently brushing your baby’s gums. Be ready with a toothbrush that has baby-soft bristles made for tender gums and newborn teeth. This is learning time, too, so choose a brush that can fit your hand at first, and baby’s hand in time.
  • Non-slip handle helps parents brush baby’s teeth and gums
  • Helps protect tender gums
  • Fits babies’ small mouths
  • Introduces babies to tooth brushing
  • Makes brushing fun with Disney Baby characters
• (6) Oral-B Stage II Brushes

Oral-B Stages 2 My Friends Tigger and Pooh Toothbrush—A toothbrush designed for kids ages 2 to 4 years.

Stages 2: A toothbrush designed for kids ages 2 to 4 years.
At this stage, kids are learning to brush, and their baby teeth are still growing in. Because their mouths are small and their hands unsteady, it’s important to choose a brush just for them. The Stages 2 brush suits their specific needs.
  • Helps protect tender gums
  • Fits kids' small mouths
  • Helps clean hard-to-reach back teeth
  • Helps kids learn to brush
  • Makes brushing fun with Disney My Friends Tigger and Pooh characters

Wish you had attended?  It was a great time had by all, especially the kids who got to see Winnie the Pooh and play some fun games.  I ended up throwing the party a week after my second daughter was born (think I am crazy…well, I was).  We were still adjusting to a new baby at home, but I thought it would be a great meet and greet with friends, as well as let my oldest daughter, Savannah see and play with her friends.  Thanks to some great friends, everyone brought a potluck dish and dessert.  I provided the popcorn, décor and drinks.


 

The party began at 1 PM and didn’t end until 5PM.  Everyone was having such a great time, that no one wanted to leave.  As part of the party kit, I was provided with some great games and activities to keep the kids entertained.  But, the movie alone was enough entertainment.  They liked it so much, we ended up watching it twice, while a few of the older children broke into a small group to play the games I had coordinated.  The little ones loved their popcorn holders that were included in the party pack.  And, upon entry to my house, each child had to turn over their movie ticket I had sent them.  It was so cute to see this, and a great idea for future get togethers and parties.  
 
If you haven’t seen the new Winnie the Pooh movie, you are missing out.  I was a fan of the original Winnie the Pooh growing up, and had a soft spot for Eeyore.  As part of one of the games, I had the kids share something they learned from the little dental hygiene educational piece I did at the beginning of the party, and that winner won the DVD copy of Winnie the Pooh.  Being a health educator, I have spent years attending health fairs and going into elementary school classrooms educating children on a variety of topics, including dental hygiene and proper brushing techniques.  Having been out of the teaching fields for a few years, since my daughter was born, I was excited to do my Dental Hygiene spiel with them.  I even had a set of teeth as a model, with an oversized toothbrush to show proper brushing.  The kids and moms got a kick out of it, while learning valuable information.
All in all, we all had a great time and I was excited to be chosen to host this party.
