UK Parents: Win a Free Snap Band for your Child

So what is a snap band?

As the name suggests, they “snap” around the wrist, or on bike handles or school bag handles making it fun to stay safe and stay seen. The bands are made from the same 3M Scotchlite Reflective Materials worn by emergency services personnel around the world – making them ideal for increasing the visibility of children as they walk to and from school

When the snap bands arrived on my door step I was not expecting much interest from my children considering they are a safety item. How wrong I was. My kids have been wearing them non-stop ever since they arrived. They love the fact that they are so flourescent and believe that they give them special powers! Also, they have spent hours happily snapping and unsnapping them (from straight to curly and back) and even insist on going to bed with them. All my children’s friends are now asking for one!

You can win a snap band by simply leaving a comment to this post. Just explain why you want the snap band and I will give the band to the person who leaves the best comment.
