For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of working with The Step2 Company, first as a “Test Driver” in 2013, and later a full-fledged Brand Ambassador in 2014. I’ve had some great adventures as part of the Step2 team, and it’s gone well beyond just playing with toys and talking about cool products. The folks at The Step2 Company are a very kind and giving bunch, many of which are parents themselves, and after visiting their HQ in Streetsboro, Ohio this past summer, I saw first-hand the pride that they take in their toys – most of which are Made in the USA. Going above and beyond, Step2 has been there for me on other projects, like when I needed a great raffle prize for the annual Fall Fest at Addie’s school this past October, they stepped-up with a fantastic Studio Art Desk. For our final project together for 2014, all of the Step2 Brand Ambassadors have been “Playing it Forward,” each spreading a little cheer to the recipient of their choice, and again, I’ve chosen Addie’s school. After consulting with her Principal (who took feedback from the faculty), it was determined that the Pre-K/Kindergarten play area was in need of a new playhouse. Rock Father Santa was back in-action, delivering a Neat & Tidy Cottage II last week – my little Elf Finley along for the ride as we made our delivery on the way to Addie’s Kindergarten Christmas party…
When the kids get back from winter break, the playhouse will be assembled and ready to enjoy.
Little Finley joined the “older” kids (she’s 2, Addie is 5) for the Kindergarten party and a great time was had by all…
With another great year working with Step2 under my belt, I guess it’s the right time to reveal that I’ve signed-on with Step2 for one more year as a Brand Ambassador, after which I will “pass the torch” to another writer/parent since my girls are growing up. Look for more great fun from Step2 and THE ROCK FATHER throughout 2015!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
