More incentive to get the kids to play outside - How does 75 bucks sound?
I love this time of year. Now that it's not grossly hot, I feel inspired to do fun activities with my kids outdoors. But in a few months when the temperature dips? Yup, it's a long winter and there are only so many times you can walk around Target to get out of the house.

I just found out about Active Kids Club, which encourages parents to start and join outdoor playgroups, and I felt a rush of inspiration imagining myself going for hikes with my kids, sledding, or exploring the nearby nature center.

[don't miss a great offer after the jump!]
Active Kids Club was started by a mom in Toronto (it gets really cold there!) who is passionate about enjoying the outdoors with her kids in all kinds of weather. And now she's teamed up with CMP fave children's label, Polarn O. Pyret, to give parents even more incentive to starting new outdoor playgroups--a $75 gift certificate towards their cute outerwear.

As if getting more exercise, meeting new people and enjoying the great outdoors isn't enough incentive. But hey, we'll take the free clothes. - Elizabeth

Check out the Active Kids Club website to learn more about the Polarn O. Pyret partnership, then hit the PO.P site to start spending your $75. The kids winter jacket is pretty darn cute!

Also, save 25% on all outerwear at Polarn O. Pyret through 10/5 with code ACTIVEPOP. Not valid on accessories, just the cool jackets.
