San Francisco Organic Kids Videotape Their Day At The Office

SF Kids Day 2009[1].jpg

What do you get when you put together some kids, sugar, glitter glue and video cameras? This year's Bring Your Kids To Work Day in SF!  We had 16 kids join us and the age group was under 10 years old.  
 
The day started off with a photo op of the kids with their parents. The kids were amped up and ready to let their creative juices flow after indulging in chocolate chip muffins and OJ.
 
Next, kids were given a blank canvas in the form of a photo frame. They decorated using glitter glue pens, stickers and markers. The finished product included a printed photo with their parents to insert into their personally designed frames. They also captured their own experience using hand-held video cameras (which will later come in handy for these future Organics at Camp O). The kids also got a better look around the office through a scavenger hunt for items such as employee business cards and office supplies, that ultimately led them to an awesome Organic prize....laser pens!  This led to a free laser light show for Organics passing through our lobby.
 
The day ended with kids leaving with some Organic swag, hand-crafted artwork and tired, but happy faces.  Here's what one of the parents had to say:
 
"I wanted to thank you again for organizing yesterday's fun day at work with the children. My girls were absolutely thrilled. The following day was show-and-tell at my girls' school and they brought their Organic bag, decorated photo frame and list of scavenger hunt items to tell their friends about it. It was so fun (for me) that I posted on my blog about it!" 

The entire day was captured on video and we will be compiling the kid's footage for a short video.  Stay tuned!
