How much do you know about mangos? How often do you eat them or cook with them? If you are like me, not very often. But that is about to change. The National Mango Board is launching a new campaign to get the most popular fruit more recognized in America.
This launch includes the new face of mangos, Jango Mango. He is a hip-happenin mango fruit that loves to shake the maracas and do the Fandango. He is getting kids excited about mangos through creative expression. There are crafts, puzzles, maps, music, all to get children and their parents, introduced and excited about Mangos.
I just received a Mango Kit that has all of these great things inside. My kids and I have been exploring the world of mangos. In the kit were 2 mangos ready to explore. We decorated one with the craft supplies provided, a fish named Rango. Then we cut one open and got to eat this exotic fruit, deliciously sweet. There are also some great recipes at Mango.org and some other fun ways for kids to eat mangos. Yum!
Giveaway: The National Mango Board has given me a second Mango Kit to give to a Make and Take reader. Simply leave a comment below and you will be entered in to receive this fun and creative kit. You have until Thursday at midnight mountain time, and the winner will be announced Friday Morning. Yeah. What fun. Have fun exploring and tasting the world’s most popular fruit and leave a comment to win your own mango kit!

Are you kidding me? We love Mango. Ever tried one on a stick, sprinkled with lime and sea salt? Or how about with coconut syrup and sticky rice?
Sign us up for the giveaway. Come on Mango.
Oh, I love mangos! My friend introduced them to me, and I have been a huge fan ever since. Yummy!

I love a good mango. I espeically love a Thai Mango with sticky rice dessert. It is so yummy! Next time you’re at a Thai restaurant, you have to try it.
I love mangos, especially in Hawaii, they always seem to taste better there, or if someone else has cut them up for me because I can never seem to cut it perfectly! I need a class on mango cutting!
I love mangos….but have never given them to my 4 kiddos!! Yikes! Sign me up for your give-a-way, and maybe my kiddos will enjoy a yummy mango!! :)

Gotta love the mangos! My faves are Mango and Black Bean Salsa, Mango Smoothies, and Mango Coconut Rice (mom LeBaron, I’m going to miss going to Airowan in Vancouver)- all three are so YUM!
we don’t eat mangos very much, but with a fun tool we could eat alot more….
I’ve tried the dried ones from Costco (yum!) but have never bought a fresh one – pick me please!
I love mangos! We ate so many on our honeymoon in Jamaica. I don’t think my son has tried mango yet…hmmm. If I don’t win this contest I’ll have to run out and get some. Thanks for the reminder!
