WENATCHEE, WA – Stemilt and The Little Gym® have joined forces to give parents the night off and kids a night to play along with a host of healthy activities and Lil Snappers® apples.
Throughout the month of February, The Little Gym hosted “Parents’ Survival Night” events, giving 2,500 families in Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Asheville, and Toronto, Ontario, a thrilling opportunity to show their kids the benefits of eating healthy and keeping fit.
“We were thrilled to partner with The Little Gym to give kids an evening of fun and food while their parents enjoyed a night out. Lil Snappers are the perfect snack for the active kids that you’ll find at The Little Gym locations across the country, and it was great to treat kids and their parents with a healthy snack and resources on how to use Lil Snappers in new ways at home,” said Brianna Shales, Stemilt’s Communications Manager.
During their stay, Stemilt helped kids create Crab Fruit Critters with Lil Snappers Piñata® apples, while also teaching them about the nutritional qualities of apples or pears. At the end of the evening, each family took home Lil Snappers activity sheets, a lunchbox themed recipe book, and a bag of either Piñata® or Pink Lady® Lil Snappers to continue fueling the fun with the award-winning kid-sized fruits at home, according to a press release.
Stemilt also provided a bag of Lil Snappers to every child that attended a class at each Little Gym location during the week leading up to the Parents Survival Night.
The 3lb. grab-and-go pouch bag helps parents put a kid-sized serving of fruit in a week’s worth of lunches for two children.
“At The Little Gym, we encourage agility, rhythm, and overall fitness to launch a lifetime of healthy habits,” said Jordan Jedeikin, Director of Brand Development at The Little Gym. “Our partnership with Stemilt’s Lil Snappers was a natural fit, and incorporating healthy, kid-sized snacks into our Celebratory Snack Time was a hit with children and parents.”
Since introducing Lil Snappers in 2011, the product has evolved into one of the top-selling pouch bag brands for both apples and pears, according to retail scan data.
