PBS Kids and Overstock Partner to Create Kid Zone

 

 

OVERSTOCK.COM PARTNERS WITH PBS KIDS TO SERVE THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF CHILDREN THROUGH LAUNCH OF OVERSTOCK KID ZONE

 

This week, Overstock.com and PBS KIDS announced a new cause partnership and the launch of Overstock’s new Kid Zone, a curated shop within Overstock that includes thousands of children’s products. Overstock will give a portion of proceeds from every sale in the Kid Zone to support the mission of PBS KIDS, to open a world of possibilities for every child and ignite a passion for learning.  I have been fan of Overstock since it first came on the scene in the late 1999’s.  Over the years I have purchase so many of our home goods because you can find such great bargains!  And you know, I am a fan of bargains.  I have even purchased some really great jewelry on Overstock!  The skies the limit on Overstock – they have just about everything you need. I love that PBS Kids and Overstock have collaborated and created Kids Zone where a portion of proceeds from the Kid Zone go back to PBS Kids.

About Overstock Kid Zone:

Products sold in the Overstock Kid Zone are designed to provide the necessities to help children thrive as well as spark creativity, fun and imagination. To support the mission, 100 percent of the net proceeds PBS KIDS receives from sales in the shop will go back to PBS KIDS. You can shop by category such as Educational Toys, Pretend Play, Arts and Crafts, Kid’s Bedroom and Kid’s Watches.  We found some really cool toys that I think my daughter would enjoy like this Smithsonian Room Planetarium.

The Kid Zone also provides links to PBS KIDS resources and fun family activities. PBS KIDS is the number one educational media brand for kids and is uniquely positioned to reach children everywhere with content that is rooted in academic frameworks, preparing young children for success in school and in life.

 

“Overstock believes in a bright future for all children, and to support our commitment to their education, health, happiness and well-being, we’re honored to be a partner with PBS KIDS in children’s educational media,” said Stormy Simon, Overstock president. “We are excited to provide parents with an easy shopping experience that supports the mission of PBS KIDS with every sale from the new Overstock Kid Zone.”

 

“PBS KIDS is committed to using the power of media to light a spark for learning and to help all kids reach their potential,” said Lesli Rotenberg General Manager, Children’s Programming, PBS. “The proceeds received by PBS KIDS through our partnership with Overstock.com will help support our mission and the development of innovative PBS KIDS educational programming and digital content.”

Some of our favorite items we found include this adorable bean bag with little daffodils on it which would look great in our garage redo project where we plan to make it into a recreational room for my daughter.   I like that they tell you what discount you get on each item on the site!  They also offer furniture and bed sets and comforters for children. My daughter is ready for her own desk and I really like this student desk I found in the Kids Zone.

There are a ton of really great outdoor and indoor games for the kids.  If my daughter was younger I know she would have loved this KidCraft Market Place.
