Mommies on a Mission - 21 Days to Build a Playground!

Our Mommy Beans 'Reminder to Play' Set Is Finally Here!

You've shouted loud and clear! You want Beans too! 

We've listened and now we're going to deliver! We are so excited to announce our limited edition Mommy Beans 'Reminder to Play' set which is available for pre-order starting today at 2pm CT! Our new Mommy Beans set consists of a stylish charcoal jacket and cozy jersey black leggings that are made from our signature Peekaboo Beans custom fabrics. The fit and style is perfect for every shape and size.

But there's more!

In true Peekaboo Beans fashion it's important that we align the launch of our Mommy Beans 'Reminder to Play' set with our core values. Play is our passion and we must spread our message globally and preserve play in the world. That is why we have partnered with Playground Builders to build a much-needed playground for a school in Afghanistan with over 1000 children.

'Mommies on a Mission'  
 

   

We are on a mission! When you pre-order your LIMITED EDITION Mommy Beans 'Reminder to Play' set $8 of the proceeds will go towards building a shiny new playground. Our goal is to sell 1000 'Reminder to Play' sets in order to fund the building of an entire playground. The empty land you see in our 'Mommies on a Mission' video above is the exact land we are hoping to build this playground.

 

We are giving ourselves 21 days to make this mission of building a new playground - a reality!

As an extra bonus, when you pre-order a 'Reminder to Play' set, you will receive $25 in Play Money to use at a future Soiree! 

To order your Mommy Beans 'Reminder to Play' set, shop on-vine at www.peekaboobeans.com under 'Really Neat Things' or contact your local Play Stylist! For more information on Mommy Beans and 'Mommies on a Mission', check out our website HERE.

Together we can bring joy to children who deserve a safe play to play.

Happy Mommy Bean Shopping!

Making Changes to Help us Grow Stronger

Here at Peekaboo Beans we are constantly learning and growing and today we have an important message to share with you about our tween line CiCi Bean.

CiCi Bean was born out of the idea that tweens need to be confident in their bodies and in what they wear; that size shouldn’t be what matters. While this idea was full of love and purpose, the tween market is extremely broad and quite hard to break in to. We’ve learned so much along the way, and we now realize that what we do best in the world is Peekaboo Beans. 

Knowing this, we have decided to tuck CiCi Bean away for now and focus all of our attention and resources into making Peekaboo Beans a stronger and more thriving brand. By focusing all of our resources into Peekaboo Beans we can put more into our baby collection and add more styles up to size 10 for both boys and girls.

This may seem like a sad day, but CiCi Bean is just taking a break; it may not be gone forever! 

In order to clear out our current CiCi stock we have put everything CiCi on sale! 

Place your order now because all CiCi Bean will be removed from our website on Tuesday, May 26^th.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me, I value each and every one of you!

In love and play,

Peekaboo Beans Pop Up Shop!

In order to make room in our warehouse for new, exciting PB styles to come, we are so excited to announce that we are opening our first-ever Peekaboo Beans Factory Outlet for a limited time only tomorrow, Saturday, May 16th, 2015 in South Surrey, British Columbia.

There are some amazing deals to be found with up to 75% off on baby, girls, boys, and tween styles that you won't want to pass up on! So, gather your Beans into the car (we've got an awesome play area with cozy spots for moms, dads, and grandparents to sit!) and come visit us at The Shops at Morgan Crossing, we're open daily!

Imaginative & Creative Play

Earlier this week we wrapped up our Earth Day inspired contest. From telescopes, to robots and treasure maps, we loved seeing how creative your Beans were with just a plain old cardboard box!

 

Creative and imaginative play such as this is so beneficial for our children. Through this type of play, our Beans are able to practice social and emotional skills, problem solving, skills in cooperation if playing with another, learn self-reliance, and so much more!

Getting creative with a plain old cardboard box proves that encouraging our children to practice this type of play doesn't have to be complicated. Try putting together a play area or prop trunk filled with old things you have laying around the house! Old shoes, hats, costumes, fabric/blankets, boxes/crates, stuffed animals or dolls are all perfect role-play toys and make for great imaginative play!

This weekend we hope you continue encouraging creative or imaginative play with your Beans! We love seeing what type of play you and your Beans are up to, so don't forget to post pictures to our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram.

Happy Playing!

1,025 Magic Beans!

As of today, more than 1,025 Magic Beans have been donated to charities across Canada!  That is an average of 54 Magic Beans donated to charities, friends and families in need, every day this month! We cannot thank our amazing Play Stylist's and Hostesses enough!

Here are a few more stories we received this past week that are truly inspiring!

Michelle Campbell - 25 pieces

"I donated to a woman who is inspirational.  She is a 33 year old wife and mother of three amazing kids.  Right before her daughters 5th birthday, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.  August 2014 was when my life changed forever.  The first thing I remember thinking is "I'm not ready to leave my kids."  A terrifying moment.  She is about to undergo a double mastectomy. She is over halfway through her treatment,   8 rounds of chemotherapy down.  She said she got through those challenging months with a lot of help from family and friends and is forever grateful for the support!  Breast Cancer, although difficult, has really shown her blessings in my life.

Her friend, Erinn, specifically had a Peekaboo Beans Soiree so that my family would be the recipient of the March Magic Beans.  She was very touched and grateful for the support! Whenever she sees her kids in their adorable clothes, she thinks of the kindness of her friends and of the Peekaboo Beans organization :-)"

 

Jennifer Kettlewell - 10 pieces

"My Beans will be donated to an auction in support if Children's Hospital Foundation. This was a self-hosted Soirée, and this is a charity close to my family's heart.

A few years ago, our 3 year old niece was diagnosed with Leukemia. After a gruelling 2.5 yr. treatment plan, she has now been cancer free for a year. Had it not been for the amazing team of doctors, nurses and researchers at BCCH, our niece and many other kids like her might not be here today. Our family supports this cause in a few ways, and these items to auction will be a great help!"

There is still plenty of time to host a Magic Bean Soiree this month. Contact your local Play Stylist for more information or to book your Soiree!
