Lola Bunny in Looney Tunes Characters(297)

What could I do to encourage my kids to get into sports?

Start exposing your child to sports and exercise early to encourage interests that will last a lifetime. You can also let them choose a sport they like and try it out at home. For example, if your daughter likes basketball, set up a hoop in the driveway. You can also look to popular characters in books, movies, TV shows, and video games who play sports. Kids love to mimic what they see in the media, so when it's positive, that can be a good thing.

How can I make my graphic T-shirts last longer?

Your graphic t-shirts will last longer if you hand-wash them or wash them in cold water on the delicate cycle in your machine. Whatever you choose, turn them inside out before you wash them so the graphics aren't exposed to any scrubbing. Avoid putting them in the dryer, and air dry them instead. Also, keep them stored in a cool dark place, away from the sun and heat.

What kinds of back-to-school items can I buy my child featuring their favorite character?

Back-to-school items, like backpacks, lunch boxes, and thermoses featuring your child's favorite characters, are a great way to get them excited about the new school year, but the fun doesn't have to end there. Look for clothing items featuring those same characters, ranging from T-shirts to socks, to add to the back-to-school wardrobe. Older kids might appreciate a fun smartphone case or keychain. A poster for their locker could be a fun choice too.
