"Love Us Back" - The Woodlands Children's Museum and FREE Pizza

It's a fun (and delicious) campaign for a great cause! The Woodlands Children's Museum is holding its annual fundraiser now through March 20, to gather much-needed supplies for the museum. It's called "Love Us Back," a campaign represented by a large paper tree with hearts on it, displayed in the museum's lobby. Each heart names a supply or service that is on the museum's wish list. (Most of these items are super easy to donate - dish soap, batteries, glue sticks, gift cards, to name a few.) Guests can select a heart, bring it back with the needed supplies, and receive a coupon for a free pizza at Zazza Pizza Cafe. Yeah - free pizza, baby!

Apple Store Offers Free Sessions For Kids & Teachers

The Apple Store at The Woodlands Mall offers free, hour-long, kid-focused sessions that teach kids how to code, work with robots and spark their creativity. The Kids Hour sessions are open to ages 4 to 12 years (depending on the session) and the Hour of Code session is open to kids 12 and older. No tech gear is necessary; you can bring your own iPad or Apple can provide gear for use during the session. The best part? Sessions are held early Friday evening and during Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The Apple Store also offers sessions exclusively for teachers, including field trips.

Babies"R"Us Annual Trade-In Event

The Greater Trade-In event at Babies"R"Us is here. Over the past 8 years, the Great Trade-In event has helped parents and caregivers remove millions of used, damaged or potentially dangerous items out of homes by offering amazing discounts in exchange.

This year, clothing has been added to the Greater Trade-In event in addition to gear and furniture. Babies"R"Us and Toys"R"Us are working with local charities across the country to help clothe children in need. And with every gently-used clothing item traded-in, not only are they taking one step closer to that goal, but in return, they are giving you a 25% discount on your entire purchase of clothing in store through March 18.
