Kohl's Cares and Eric Carle

For many parents, the name Eric Carle probaby rings a bell. Carle, artist and creator of picture books for young children, has been the source of entertainment for kids and parents alike for generations. Including the most famous title- The Very Hungry Caterpillar- his books have been around since the 1970’s, and I loved them growing up!  

Kohl’s recently began featuring hardcover Eric Carle books with a coordinating stuffed animal as part of their Kohl’s Cares initiative.  The Cause Merchandise program gives back to local communities by dedicating 100% of the net profit from these products to benefit kids’ health and education organizations. The Kohl’s Cares project actively supports kids nationwide with over $180 million raised thus far.

Through the month of April, Kohl’s is offering four popular Eric Carle books with its matching plush animal: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (Written by Bill Martin), 10 Little Rubber Ducks, Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too? and The Very Busy Spider.

Kids and parents can enjoy one of these colorful books with its related toy for only $5 from Kohl’s stores or website.  This affordable purchase gives back to the community and allows parents to spend time reading with their young kids.

One lucky Mom Central reader will win copies of all four featured books by Eric Carle along with a plush sheep and bear. To enter, leave a comment below by Tuedsay, February 7. The winner will be selected at random and notified by email.

Disclosure: Mom Central received copies of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too? and The Very Busy Spider along with two plush toys to facilitate this review and giveaway.
