Smurfs Happy Meal Toy giveaway

Have you seen the new Smurfs movie yet? If you grew up watching the Smurfs like I did, you'll probably come out of it feeling a wave of nostalgia -- or nausea, depending on how much you hated the Smurfs La-la-lala-la-la song -- and a twinge of admiration for how well they integrated the computer-animated Smurfs into real life scenes.

Kids, on the other hand, won't have mixed feelings at all. The Smurfs was my kids' favorite summer movie! It was a fun, nonthreatening movie that's completely appropriate for little kids.

Now, of course, they're on a mad rush to collect all things Smurfy -- books, notebooks, stickers, dolls, figurines, anything cute and blue! They were thrilled to see Smurf figurines in McDonald's Happy Meals, and so we've had a resurgence of interest in eating at McDonald's. After active days at summer camp, I was happy to let them unwind over a Happy Meal of chicken nuggets, low-fat milk and apples. Next month, when the new Happy Meal debuts, they'll even be able to have a few fries without having to give up their apples.

One of our favorite things about the Smurfs promo was being able to help save the earth -- or rather, Smurf the Earth -- by entering the codes on their Apple Dipper packages at HappyMeal.com. For every code entered, Keep America Beautiful will plant one tree, up to 100,000 -- over 250,000 codes were entered, so they've met their goal with time to spare!


I'm kind of sad to see the Smurf Happy Meal promo end tomorrow, since we didn't manage to collect the entire set. We did get a little help from the folks at McDonald's -- I came home from BlogHer with a few extra Smurf figurines that were being given away at the McDonald's booth (I know a lot of the McDonald's folks who were at BlogHer from last year's Family Time Getaway, so they generously looked the other way when I nabbed a couple -- okay, more than a couple -- coupons to feed my McDonald's Fruit & Maple oatmeal addiction!).


Oh well, there's always eBay -- and for you Bonggamom Finds readers, there's my giveaway below!
