The new McDonald's DreamWorks Happy Meal sends a powerful message to kids because it encourages them to embrace their uniqueness.
Quirks are what make each individual unique, just like what these
DreamWorks characters taught us. I believe it’s important to emphasize this
fact to our children, especially during their formative years. It’s
perfectly fine to embrace your individuality and to not always conform to
society’s standards because that will define you as a person.
McDonald’s NEW DreamWorks Happy Meal Teaches Kids To Embrace Their Uniqueness
For 25 years and counting, DreamWorks movies and characters have helped enable
families to dream and laugh together as they embrace each one’s quirks and
uniqueness. McDonald’s also celebrates this and encourages families to enjoy
bonding moments made more fun through the DreamWorks Happy Meal!
How to encourage kids to embrace their individuality
The best way to encourage children to encourage their individuality is to
model it yourself. We can show kids that we are not perfect and that's
perfectly fine. We commit mistakes but what's important is that we rectify
those mistakes and learn from them.
Aside from that, here are some tips on how to encourage kids to be proud of
their being unique:
- All interests, as long as these are not harmful, are beautiful.
- Help them uncover their hidden talents through their interests and let them pursue and develop these.
- Teach them that it's alright to go against society's norm as long as they are not hurting anybody.
- They don't always have to agree with other people just to be accepted.
- Encourage them to voice out their opinions even if these are deemed unpopular.
Celebrating one’s uniqueness through McDonald's Happy Meal toys

I LOVE these new happy meals! Of course, kids love the cute figures, but I love that I can actually use them as a jumping off point for conversations about important topics.
ReplyDeleteThese are the cutest toys. I just love McDonalds. In the US we have Disney toys at the moment.
ReplyDeleteWe've not had a happy meal in ages. I didn't realise they had started the toys again. We always seemed to get something made from thin card which my son didn't like.
ReplyDeleteThese look like nice toys. My kids always loved the Happy Meal toys.
