Review: My Fruit Roll-Ups (and GiveAway!)

Just in time for the preschool summer camp that I'm directing, Parent Bloggers asked me to review the new My Fruit Roll-Ups...  a lunchbox favorite of my childhood is now available with custom designs!    (See details below on how you can get a free case!)

The ordering process is straight-forward - you go to the site and choose the graphics and/or text you'd like on the roll-up.  (There's a demo you can watch to discover all the options you have.)   And voila!  A couple weeks later you have custom made roll-ups at your door!  The site offers a wide variety of graphics to choose from (sports/animals/celebrations/etc.) and you can have up to images on each roll.  For the kids at camp I chose a fish and ladybug design:

Custom%20fruit%20roll%20ups.JPG

They also offer Design Suggestions -- such as Hockey, Halloween, and Soccer -- where the images are already chosen and laid out.  For example, the Birthday design has party hats, cupcakes, and a place to add your own message (choice of four fonts, three font sizes, and three colors).

Note:  while you're at the site, little Fruit Roll-Up mascots are making little happy meep-meep noises - which I found amusing, but if you're at work you may want to turn off the sound.

And now for the GiveAway!  For a chance to win a free case of 30 My Fruit Roll-Ups, check out the designs at the My Fruit Roll-Ups site and leave a comment below with your favorites!  I will randomly choose a winner on June 20th - be sure to leave an email address so I can contact you!  You may enter as many times as you like, but only U.S. residents for this one.

UPDATED:  Congratulations to Jo, the winner of the Fruit Roll-Ups!  I'll be contacting you shortly!

Love the soccer. Even more I love that I can personalize it. Even though Girls soccer is becoming more popular, it is hard to find things geared to girls. I can make my own now!!
