Tropicana Tropics Presents Art & Play : Picasso's in the Park

This morning when everyone arrived at Burgoyne Woods Park for Art & Play in their tropical clothing, they were given a lei. This Hawaiian tradition was a great way to begin our tropical themed event. Today was a fun filled day! We tried some Tropicana Tropics juice, had some tropical themed cookies, made a tropical craft, we were creative with some fun and messy painting, learned to limbo, and had a chance to play in the park!

  

 

 

Our sponsor Tropicana, brings you their Tropics line containing 100% juice and puree blends inspired by the islands. Tropicana Tropics juice will wake up your senses and brighten your day with every sip.  The Tropics product line up consists of four varieties:  Orange Strawberry Banana, Orange Peach Mango, Paradise Blend (pineapple, mango, and passion fruit), Orange Tropical Fruit (pineapple, orange, mango, and passion fruit). Each 250 mL glass of Tropicana Tropics juice blend offers 2 Food Guide servings of fruit with no added sugar, and is a source of Potassium and an excellent source of Vitamin C. While you drink Tropicana Tropics, you are reminded of the pure and relaxing pleasures of Florida or the islands. As moms we are always busy and on the go, Tropicana Tropics can provide us a small escape any time of day with a little fruit filled paradise.

 

 

Today at our juice bar we had the opportunity to taste 3 different types of Tropicana Tropics juices. We tried orange strawberry banana, orange peach mango and paradise blend. These juices had wonderful fresh flavors. Once we had tried all 3 flavours of juice, we chose our favorites. Although each juice was great tasting, a large part of our group preferred the orange peach mango blend. It was so yummy!

 

 

 

 

We love to be creative. Painting each month at Art and Play is a calming activity that allows the children not only time to be creative, but it also allows independence, decision making, problem solving and best of all time to be messy! We rolled some paper across our tables, gave the kids some paint, paint brushes and stamps and away they went. Take a look at some of our geniuses at play! 

 

 

 

To go along with our tropical theme today, we made some tropical parrots. There was a nice breeze that allowed our parrots feathers to flap in the wind!

 

 

 

 

 

After our craft, we ate some palm tree sugar cookies.

 

 

 

  Finally before heading off to the playground ....we enjoyed some more juice....turned up the music....and learned how to limbo.

 

 

 

 

 

We want to say a big thank you to Tropicana for giving us the opportunity to taste their nutritional and delicious juice blends from their Tropics line. Your refreshing juice blends are the perfect drink for a hot summer day! Two servings of fruit in each 250 mL glass will make it easier for us moms to ensure our children have the balanced nutrition they require.

 

In addition to Tropicana's Tropics juice,  their other lines include pure premium, essentials, juice blends and trop50. Nutritional and additional product information can be found at http://www.tropicana.ca/EN/index.php.
