We need your help to make the Great Glasses Play Day a success – take a look at some of the ways you can help.  And we’re always up for other ideas, too – just let us know!

Parents:

  • Attend one of the Great Glasses Play Day events and invite any friends who have children in glasses
  • Sign up to host a Great Glasses Play Day
  • Have a blog?  Post about the Great Glasses Play Day
  • We need more pictures!  Do you have any great pictures of your child in glasses at play?  Would you be willing to let us use that picture on this site?  Send us a note at GGPD@shinypebble.com!
  • Talk to your local Children’s Librarian and ask if they’d be willing to do a book display the week of Great Glasses Play Day.

Eye Care Professionals:

  • Offer free adjustments, free glasses cleaning cloths, or free glasses cases the week of Great Glasses Play Day
  • Like us on Facebook
  • Contact us at GGPD@shinypebble.com with other ideas!

Librarians:

  • Vision and literacy are closely related, a child who has poor vision will likely struggle with reading.  Not only that, many children find comfort in books about other kids who are facing similar situations, and getting glasses is no exception!  We would love if you would consider putting up a display of books related to kids and glasses for the Great Glasses Play Day, or do a story time with stories on that topic.  There are some good lists of books about kids and glasses at Eye Health Guide and Little Four Eyes.

  • Spread the word, let any friends or family with kids in glasses know about the day
