With four new eye-catching colors, Banana Peel flip flops, the local flip flop concept store in the Philippines, introduces its next new attraction—the Hopscotch Collection for kids.

The Hopscotch collection is all about fun as kids get to choose from a variety of bright colors (Knucklebones/Mustard Yellow, Spud/Black, Simon Says/Bezique Green and Cariboo/Pink) to match their personalities and energy. Kids are always up for excitement and adventure and Hopscotch flip flops are designed to go along with them, wherever they go.

And colors are not just for fun, they also play a big role in a child’s development. Specific colors can affect a child’s mood, behavior, body movement and speech. The development of character and intelligence of children can be attributed partly to how colors are used in their environment while they are growing up.

The colors blue, pink, yellow and green especially affect a child’s cognitive skills and inspire happiness in them because the colors align with their energy and desire for a playful interaction. Each color have different reactions to children: Blue, the color of the sky, stimulates a cool and relaxing environment. Yellow reminds them of sunshine—the color of happiness. Green is for summer and nature— a color that invigorates and recharges them. Lastly, pink is said to attribute calmness and kindness, to ease agitated kids. Knowing how colors affect them can go a long way in raising positive, loving children, especially when shown alongside love and kindness from the people around them.

Banana Peel’s flip flops are not only colorful, but they are also lightweight and safe for people of all ages. These flip flops are perfect to wear indoors and outdoors — be it for a day at the beach, or just out on the sidewalk for an everyday stroll.

This Mom experienced Summer in the City. Yes, Banana Peel brought summer in the city with their event that happened in UP Town Center. Bringing the good vibes of summer, though most of us, Filipinos spend our time at the beach enjoying the water but there are still average Pinoys who couldn't get that dreamed beach escapade. So with this event from Banana Peel Pinoys in the city can enjoy that summer escapade without the water. All great fun and activities.

Banana Peel invited flip flop lovers to enjoy summer in a very good vibe dubbed as "Summer in the City" at the heart of the UP Town Center. It's one of the many ways of Bannana Peel saying thank you for continuously supporting its products.

According to their Marketing Manager, Ms. Charmaine Manuel “Summer in the City is a way for us at Banana Peel to have an afternoon of good vibes, fun and treats with our customers.” she added that “Just by presenting a receipt worth P300.00 from Banana Peel, our customers got to enjoy all the treats in the venue.”

I personally experienced the five different activity areas. First was the Carnival Block where we enjoyed the ring toss, table drop, yard pong and duck hunt. Followed by the Adventure Central where we watched little kids played with all oversized classic games like Jenga, Tic Tac Toe, and of course the famous Snake and Ladders, there was also the Fashion-Forward Sytle Boulevard where visitors and customers were treated for free manicures, makeovers, face painting and hair braiding of which I tried two - the hair braiding and the manicure. The Chill Square, is where most of the visitors went to after the stroll. This is where we got cornered by one of the organizers and asked if we could join the game in which we politely and eagerly say yes. It was a guessing game that put us couple on losing side. Anyway it was a fun experience. Of course refreshments and snacks are available at the Bite Yard. There were noodles, chips bread, pretzels, Korean ice cream and of course water.












So did this mom enjoyed or not? Well, I did and it was an amazing Summer in the City. Perhaps next time more activities to enjoy.
