FISHER-PRICE® LAUNCHES ‘POEM TO YOUR CHILD’ VIDEO
(Toronto, ON) January 29, 2015 -- A new year means a new chance to create memories with the little ones in your life. In a new video titled "Poem to Your Child," Fisher-Price® continues to celebrate and encourage the time to play, because the moments you play together with your child are the moments you grow together.
The online video which has received over 269,000 views on social media since launching just 48 hours ago, features seven Canadian mothers – including Elizabeth Lampman, blogger and founder of FrugalMomEh.com – as they recite an original poem to their young children. In capturing the bond shared by mom and baby, Fisher-Price® illustrates that the best possible start begins with the unique relationship that is shared between every parent and child.
“Life moves quickly but there is great value in pausing to enjoy the little moments,” says Melissa Farjo, Brand Manager, Fisher-Price®. “Those playful moments spent between a parent and child create memories which often double as teaching opportunities – and these have powerful benefits to your child’s early development.”

Created to resonate with new moms with babies and young children, the spot also appeals to mothers with older children as the poem ignites a feeling of nostalgia among this demographic.
“I really want to make sure that my children have great memories of their childhood. Childhood is really very short compared to the rest of your life but it has such an incredible impact on the first moments of a person’s life,” says blogger Elizabeth Lampman. “As adults we often look back at our childhood years and wish we could be in that place again, so why not make sure that when our own children grow up, that they too have wonderful memories to look back on? Taking part in this video was a great reminder to slow down and enjoy these moments.”
