(This giveaway is now closed and a winner has been notified. Thanks so much for entering!)
We recently returned from a marathon vacation. We headed out from our home in Connecticut and drove down to Tampa to board a cruise ship. After that? More driving to get us up to Indiana for Thanksgiving. And once the turkey had been consumed? You guessed it. More driving back to New England. All told, our children saw fifteen states over the course of our journey!
While we dined on elegant fare onboard the ship and filled our bellies with Grandma's comfort food in the Midwest, those six days en route meant we needed some quick, on-the-go lunches. One of my children's favorites that we grabbed on the road? The Kids Meal boxes as part of the BK Crown program.
On top of the box is a removable crown (and it may just be me, but I think these have been redesigned to better fit smaller heads). My two princess-lovin' girlies were all about that. The box is also covered with various games and activities which delighted my puzzle-solving little boy. He loved telling us about what he found on there and what he was working on.
Truth? The times we rely on fast food, I generally just order something off the dollar menu for my kids. They don't have much Kids Meal experience. So there was definitely some novelty factor there. Still, I liked seeing their excitement and I have to admit I was really happy to hear my son ask this question:
"What does this mean? 'Go to BKCrown.com, enter your Crown Code and choose a way to help. Burger King Corp. will make a donation to the charity you've picked.'? Can I do that? Can I pick someone to help???"
He was so eager and I'm a big fan of any and all opportunities to talk about giving! BK has established a fund to help support the Wildlife Conservation Society, National Parks Conservation Association, DonorsChoose.org and Have It Your Way™ Foundation.
Perhaps you'd like to explore the new BK CROWN Program with your children? (You don't need to have a big voyage on the agenda! ;)) You're in the right place! I have a $25 BURGER KING Crown Card for one of my winners to purchase a kid's meal featuring the BK CROWN Program. (And, yes, you can definitely buy way more than one kid's meal with that card-- you might want to try out a "BK Family Bundle for $9.99 which includes: WHOPPER® sandwich, WHOPPER JR.® sandwich., two small fries, two small soft drinks and a Kids Meal)
