Pebbles Play is coming to Houston!

By Thao Powell August 3, 2016

Fruity Pebbles was one of my favorite cereals growing up. It was the perfect breakfast with milk and a fun snack any time of day. Not only was eating it a tasty treat, the rainbow of colors made the milk much more interesting.

The Pebbles Play tour kicked off in June this year and they have traveled to major cities across the U.S. offering families the opportunity to create, taste, experience, and imagine with Pebbles like never before.  The Pebbles Play tour ignites creativity and fosters the joy of childhood for kids - and kids at heart - by offering a one of a kind opportunity to experience Pebbles and enjoy the fun.

The Pebbles Play tour is teaming up with environmentally sustainable toy company YOXO® to inspire young inventors and encourage creativity using recycled materials. If you loved the Flinstones, this is one stop you won’t want to miss. You can spend a day with family and friends exploring, learning, and playing at the Pebbles Play tour. Kids can create and give new life to your Fruity or Cocoa Pebbles cereal box by transforming it into a rocking guitar at the YOXO® Pebbles Play station. Your kids will enjoy the playful world of Pebbles with Pebbles virtual reality goggles. They can explore and take a seat inside a real life replica of the Flintmobile and snap a photo. Enjoy a sample of delicious Pebbles marshmallow treats – fruity flavor with Fruity Pebbles or extreme chocolate flavor with Cocoa Pebbles. #PebblesPlay
