On the Project Pink site’s Email a Duck, Raise a Buck page, you can decorate a duck of your own, and then email it to all your friends. For every emailed duck, Munchkin is donating five cents to Susan G. Komen breast cancer foundation’s Komen for the Cure.

The campaign actually began on August 1st, but I’m just now getting around to posting about it. Breast Cancer Awareness Month actually begins in October, though, and there’s lots going on with Project Pink between now and then! You can buy a duck like the one pictured here for just $2.99, with 100% of the proceeds going to Komen for the Cure. From late September through the month of October, you can also pick up one of these from Babies R’ Us, Target, Kmart, Meiger, HEB, Fred Meyer, Burlington, Buy Buy Baby, Rite Aid, Longs, and Zellers.

And in October, celebrity decorated pink ducks will be available for auction on eBay with all proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. You can check out the celebrity photos on the site. Munchkin makes so many amazing products for babies and young children – I LOVE that they’re focusing on the mamas, and bringing awareness to breast cancer.

We received four of these the night before we headed out for our road trip to California. My kids used them HEAVILY for an entire week, and if you check out our family pictures, you can see them sipping on Gatorade and ice water out of these bottles in front of Big Bear Lake, while seated at Manuel’s El Teypeyac restaurant in east L.A., at various In-N-Out burger locations, and of course, all day LONG at Disneyland.

When your little one is on the go, let her enjoy a refreshing drink in a spill-proof sports bottle that features Dora. The soft, built-in silicone spout and valve helps transition your little lady from bottle to cup with ease. And, the contoured shape makes it easy to grasp. So be a sport and let your kid in on the action.

The bottles are a nice size for little kids. I have twin almost-5-year-olds and twin 3 1/2-year-olds, and my kids may actually be on the older end of the spectrum as far as these bottles are concerned. They worked GREAT for us, but they’d be even better for little ones just barely off the bottle. The soft plastic spout is made from the same squishy material as a typical baby bottle nipple, so it’s not hard at all on little tender gums and teeth, and VERY easy to drink from. If these had been available when my monkeys were littler, I would have been all over them for sure. The shape of the bottles also makes them super easy for little chubby hands to hold onto.

We used these bottles almost daily for two whole months. Sadly, one of ours has gone missing – I’m sure it’s stashed away under the slide or something – and we’ve been mourning its loss for a couple of weeks now. Even after going through the dishwasher dozens of times, the bottles look nearly new. Thumbs up all around from the Casa de Chaos.
