To draw attention to the shrinking habitat of the red eyed tree frog, I’m having a Baby frog Halloween costume giveaway contest! These bug eyed frogs have kind of become the poster child for saving the rain forests of the world if you have seen many posters advertising the need for action. This may be because their eyes make them look horrified and the organizations behind this very worthwhile movement know that WE SHOULD BE HORRIFIED that these priceless treasures are being destroyed at an alarming rate of speed.
There is another contest taking place that you can reach by following the link above that allows you to choose your own costume (if you win) from ANYTIMECOSTUMES.COM if dressing your baby like a tree frog is not what you had in mind for baby’s first time out Trick or Treating.
**GIVEAWAY RULES**
**MANDANTORY FOR 1 ENTRY**
– Comment on what you feel can or should be done to slow the destruction of the rainforest. Don’t forget to leave your contact information so that I can get in touch if you are the winner.
**ADDITIONAL ENTRIES**
– GET 2 ADDITIONAL ENTRIES BY FOLLOWING MY BLOG!
The winner of the free baby frog Halloween costume giveaway will be drawn on October 15th at Midnight and announced the following day. I will contact you and give the winner 2 days to contact me with shipping information. If the winner fails to contact me within this time frame, another winner will be drawn.
Just so you know, I won the costume that will be the prize in my blog’s baby frog Halloween costume giveaway and there was a no return or exchange policy attached to the freebie. When it didn’t fit my little one I was disappointed at first and then I had the idea of turning lemons into lemonade by offering another mom a free baby Halloween costume AND using the cute baby tree frog costume as an opportunity to talk about the disappearing rainforest.
FYI the red eyed frog is not considered to be an endangered species YET. But where will they go when the rainforest is gone?
Return to Family Recipes, Babies and Parenting Issues to see more giveaways that give me a chance to rant and rave about the lack of attention being paid to the environment.

One way to slow the destruction of rainforests would be to allow people all over the world to "adopt" a portion (1 acre or more) of rainforest land for a nominal fee. (Much like the stars you can name for someone) The fees could cover the costs of preserving that area. I really think that if this were an option that was well publicized, people would really get on board!

oh .. very cute outfit ... I love it ..
I am half Japanese and frogs are a sign of good luck in Japan. My husband surprised me by painting Samurai Fighting Frogs in our son's nursery. I love it! And it gave me an idea on the issue we face of the rainforest being destroyed. Having a child opened my eyes to making sure the world is a safe place when he grows up and when his kids grow up. I know this may sound silly but there needs to be more children programs about the rainforest. Disney needs to make a movie about the disapperance of our natural resource like they made a movie about a penguin march. Create a character that our children can look up to and teach the parents that we need to do something to stop this. Awareness needs to be made first, then money needs to be donated next. Good luck with your contest!
