We have ways to participate on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and on your blog. Check below for some ideas of things to do on August 4!
Great Glasses Play Day Interview:
- Interview your child in glasses. You could make a video of the interview or just take notes and write up your child’s answers.
- Some ideas for questions (feel free to choose or add some of your own):
- Tell me about your glasses
- What would the best glasses in the world look like?
- What is your favorite thing about your glasses?
- What is your favorite game?
- What would the best playground in the world be like?
- What are some fun things you like to do?
- Post the interview(there’s a few options for this):
- Make a video of the interview and post on YouTube with the tag “Great Glasses Play Day”. Leave the link to the video as a comment here or on our Facebook page.
- Write up your child’s answers and send them, with a picture of your child, or one of your child’s drawings to GGPD@shinypebble.com with permission to post it here.
- Post to your own blog with the interview (with picture or drawing or video) and post leave the link as a comment here, or on our Facebook page.
- We’ll post the interviews here so that you can share them with your children.
Facebook:
- On August 4, change your profile picture to one with your child(ren) in glasses, preferably showing them playing or having fun.
- Post a status update: “Today is the Great Glasses Play Day! I’m celebrating with my child by <insert something fun you’re doing with your child>. <Say something about how your child’s glasses help them to play.>” For example:
“Today is the Great Glasses Play Day! I’m celebrating by baking cookies with Zoe. I’m so thankful for her glasses that help her see the markings on the measuring cups.”
- Share our picture (to be posted soon), which will point to your name and say, “This person is celebrating the Great Glasses Play Day!”

Note: We understand that different families make different choices about how much of their children’s lives to share online. Please do not do anything that makes you uncomfortable about your limits to your child’s privacy. You do not need to ever post your child’s name or photo to participate in these activities. If you are comfortable doing that, that’s quite all right, too!

Great idea! I am also passionate about children’s vision and will join the Great Glasses Play Day by blogging about it on Sunday, August 5, on my Wellness For Life blog on Cape Cod Times online! Check it out at http://blogs.capecodonline.com/cape-cod-health/ Thanks for giving me the opportunity to join in!
Thank you Katherine! We look forward to celebrating with you and reading your post!!
I interviewed my little one today about her glasses and posted it on my blog. http://thepumpkintheprincess.blogspot.com/2012/08/i-am-princess.html
I love it! Thank you Jen
Here is my interview with my little guy, Ian:
Can you tell me about the glasses that bitty baby is wearing? My 18mo daughter wears glasses and I would like to find a baby doll that wears glasses for her for Christmas. thank you!
My 3 month old niece is being fitted for glasses this week and I was wondering were I could get her a baby doll with glasses. I thought u may know. I’m going to pas this website on to my sister in law.
Precious Pinkies makes very cute dolls with glasses – https://www.facebook.com/pages/Precious-Pinkies/202827636516067?fref=ts – but it looks like she’s taking the summer off for family time and streamline her process. Build a Bear lets you get glasses for a stuffed animal, though they might not be suitable for a 3 month old.
