Fisher-Price Launches Its "Bundles of Joy" Program Celebrating the First Babies of the New Year
The first Bundles of Joy in 2013 to be recognized across Canada
TORONTO, Nov. 20, 2012 /CNW/ - Today, in honour of National Child Day, Fisher-Price launched its first ever "Bundles of Joy" campaign, a program dedicated to celebrating the birth of the first babies of 2013 in cities across the country. Since National Child Day is a day to encourage and celebrate children all over the world and help them reach their full learning potential, Fisher-Price encourages parents, both new and old, to bring out the joy within their own families and embrace the best job in the world: parenting.
"The arrival of a new baby is always exciting news, but the first baby of the year is an extra special occasion," said Riza Javellana, Senior Marketing Manager, Fisher-Price Canada. "We know that new parents can be over-tired and over-whelmed but we also know how over-joyed they are and we want to help them celebrate. The 'Bundles of Joy' program allows us this opportunity. We are thrilled to have a number of hospitals across Canada already on board for our inaugural year and hope to partner with more as the years go on so we can celebrate the many more New Year's babies still to come."
Participating new families from hospitals across Canada will receive a marvelous bundle of gifts from Fisher-Price including Fisher-Price Baby Gear, toys and products suited to the child's first year of learning and development needs. Furthermore, families of the first 'Bundles of Joy' of 2013 can opt-in to receive a yearly gift of age-specific toys and products from Fisher-Price for their next four birthdays.
"No matter what the age, children look up to their parents as their inspiring partner who will play with them in the moment and stay engaged while they assert their joyful independence," continued Javellana. "We are proud that we can offer the tools, toys and resources for such a wonderful experience from the first day of a child's life and on."
