KINDSnacks Archives - Mrs. Weber's Neighborhood

I am receiving zoo admission for my family in exchange for this post.

Three rockin’ companies I love have partnered to bring an awesome activity to us: KIND, Zulily and the Detroit Zoo.

Local families can visit the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak on Saturday, May 16 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a kindness safari, presented by KIND and Zulily. The kindness safari includes a scavenger hunt booklet, which features interactive kindness activities inspired by animals {i.e. see a bear; give somebody in your family a bear hug!}. How cute is this?!

In addition, attendees will receive flowers upon leaving to pass on to someone else as well as a take-home kindness kit that comes in a complimentary lunch tote that kids can color on {pictured above}.

This is part of the Kind Kids program, which uses fun family activities to teach kids the importance of kindness. Learn more here and follow the #KindAwesome hashtag for live updates.

SCORE FREE ADMISSION!

The first 50 visitors to the zoo with this voucher can get FREE zoo admission.

Hope to see you there!

The post below is sponsored by KIND Snacks. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Mrs. Weber’s Neighborhood possible. All opinions expressed are my own.

As a blogger, I have a list of brands I would love to work with one day. Lucky for me, sometimes they reach out to me with information I know you all will love and it’s a big win all-around.

One of those dream brands on my list is KIND Snacks. I adore them and here’s why: They make delicious products with ingredients I can pronounce and they care about social causes. Their KIND name has a deeper meaning — they are actually a kind company!

I was ecstatic to hear that their team will be visiting metro Detroit on Tuesday, Feb. 17 to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day, and will be doing good deeds and passing out bars at some of my favorite organizations.

To celebrate, they will be doing kind acts for 24 hours around the area. Here’s the listing of where they will be. Be on the lookout for some goodies near you!
