The first ever Pampers Celebrity Babylympics was held at Holiday Inn, Ortigas. Celebrity babies put their skills and unique movement to test as event guests cheered fort he babies and clapped as the babies displayed their talent and unique abilities in the series of activities.
The activities was designed by Gymboree Music and Play and Pampers diapers. The two experts in baby development were united in their goal to encourage moms and babies to play more to nurture baby’s development.
“As the global leader in early childhood learning, Gymboree recognizes how important play us in helping to support the development of children. From sensory stimulation to problem solving games and storytelling, our classes use play-based activities to stretch the body and mind.” – Ann Tan, President of Gymboree Play And Music
“We also encourage parents to be actively involved in these programs – at Gymboree Play & Music, teachers work closely with parents to identify the best class for a cild based on his or her age and stage of development and activities are designed to help children develop balance, coordination and other sensory stimuli in a group play environment.”
And to help encourage uninterrupted play for babies, Pampers has continued to improve its Active Baby diaper by providing it with an Extra-lock layer that keeps baby’s bottom dry even under pressure.
“Imagine when your baby is still learning to walk; he takes a step, maybe two, then BOOM, he falls down on his bottom. Then it will put sudden pressure on the diaper. SP in this case, your diaper needs to lock the urine well and not let urine come out under baby pressure.”
“Since dryness is so important in making sure that baby stays comfortable enough to play, Pampers Active baby now has a special lock layer to absorb wetness, allowing with a soft breathable cover and a hypoallergenic lotion, which all works together to keep baby’s bottom dry. And when baby is comfortable learning and play can continue all day.” – Anama Dimapilis, P&G Brand PR Manager for Pampers
